I carry a pot of blue nail varnish - tiny dab acts as a security seal on screws.We always take pics of our finished work and have now started using stick on seals that can only be removed by cutting them - so you know somebody has tampered with the CU
Nail varnish is also a great option as thread-lock substitute on small screws, or for stopping trim pots moving, etc, and often readily available nearby in chemist or supermarket.I carry a pot of blue nail varnish - tiny dab acts as a security seal on screws.
Can’t tell you what colour (for security reasons, obvs ?) but I’ve been using the same shade of Rimmel for years! Only trouble is that ten year old mini-me has realised both this and the fact that she likes to wear it.Can’t imagine a load of burly sparks heading to Boots at lunchtime to peruse the colour options of nail varnish....
hit your thumb with a hammer and get that perfect dark blue hue
Well I'm not exactly "burly" but my experience of going to the local chemist was this:Can’t imagine a load of burly sparks heading to Boots at lunchtime to peruse the colour options of nail varnish....
I would be interested to see the Electrical Installation Certificate. Whoever has put their name on that and notified the relevant building control authority will know what state the board and installation was left in. Can you upload the relevant certificate? Redact names/addresses etc.Hi,
I am the wife of an electrician feeling absolutely gutted. We have had a complaint from a customer who is seeking a £500 refund for a consumer unit change that my husband undertook for her. I joined here in the hope other electrician's could shed some light on what's happened as I have no clue what consumer unit wiring should look like. I can't confront my husband over this at the moment as his mum is dying and I don't want to add to his stress so I am trying to figure it out myself. My husband has been an electrician 30 years. He is a part P domestic installer, Niceic registered and 18th edition updated last year. We have hundreds of happy customers since he went self employed 2 years ago. I do all his books and customer communication etc and he has never had a complaint up until now.
So basically he started on a job where there were other tradesmen present , including another electrician who was retired .My husband did lots of various electrical jobs for this lady who paid us promptly after each installation and was very happy with his work ,even leaving a good review on Google ads for him ..but then something happened, roughly 4 days after he replaced her consumer unit she called us to say it keeps tripping. He went back over there to try to figure out what was happening and spent half the day there. He came back very frustrated saying he couldn't figure it out. There were 5 other tradesmen there,( the place is being renovated) including this other electrician who apparently couldn't understand why it was tripping either. My husband said he ended up ripping all the wires out in order to get to the bottom of it. ..It ended with my husband telling the customer he was completely stumped and that she should get a second opinion.... I then get sent these pictures a week later from the customer of what she says is my husband's work. I am baffled! To me it looks a mess but I realise she probably took this photo AFTER he dissected it for the tripping fault??
Please can anyone of you guys offer me some opinions here as I'm really distressed by this.View attachment 65213
Just got this vision of a nail varnish shade register for electricians security marking to avoid a duplication of shades usedCan’t tell you what colour (for security reasons, obvs ?) but I’ve been using the same shade of Rimmel for years!

Yeah theres something peculiar about this.Something isn't ringing true with the OP for me, there is no clear reason why the customer wants a refund, the language also seems a bit strange my wife would talk to me not confront me,
Those points aside we are told the RCD tripped 4 days after install and keeps tripping but with no indication of the frequency or timing of the continual trips
Another electrician has apparently unsuccessfully looked for the fault after the OP's husband so does this fault really exist on the fixed wiring as 2 electricians haven't found any reason that would cause the reported issue
I think until the electrician involved can post his account of events leading up to the customer requesting a refund it is difficult to make a judgement
