Hi, just registered on this forum. I have been in the electrical/security industry since leaving school
in 1980. Served my time at a medium sized electrical/security firm in West Yorkshire, then went self employed in 1986 right up to present. I was NICEIC from 1989 - 2002, but had moved most of my trade into installing/maintaining intruder systems so joined the security inspectorate body and dropped out of the NIC. I still do small electrical jobs, but not rewiring or consumer units these days.
I am going to be looking at some advice on electrical wiring, north of the border in the near future as my wife and I are currently building a house up in Dumfries and Galloway, which is a self build.

Cheers, Mark.
 
Welcome Mark and share any experiences you've had as they'll be appreciated by the older gits on the forums, I being technically an old git but just starting out. All the best with the new build.

Welcome Marky the sparky......
Nice part of the country that you're moving to. Of course, as a Scot, I would say wouldn't I..............
My involvement in the electrical field was industrial power electronics so I may not be much help to you but there are plenty of excellent guys here who ca,

Good luck!
 
I must seem Jurassic compared to you mate finished my apprenticeship in mid 60s kin ell that was kin years ago OMG kin years ago
 
Thanks guys for the welcome! I didn"t realise that there were still so many old Sparkies still working. If my knees, shoulders and carpal tunnel are anything to go by, I should have retired 15 years ago.
