Serv you have and never will hear me decry anyone doing domestic work, personally apart from core drilling it is my least favourite type of electrical work, I do not like it, the same that you do not like to do basket work, which again I don't like doing or tray work, which I don't mind.
If i had my way I would be building switch gear and panels doing all the wiring and connecting DB's as I enjoy that.
I think your missing my point, though I hate domestic work I can do it, though I hate tray I can do it, I love MICC work and can do it and I can do any type of containment work known to man, and some not known.
Why would you condone a practice that is not going to train a man to do as many differing types of work that the industry calls for. I can only surmise that your in favour of dumbing down the industry.
I am in favour of letting us Domestic time served lads who never sat the full apprentiship get on with our sector and no longer having to listen to JIB commercial & Industrial sparks moan about domestic electricians not being ''proper sparks''! Moaning about the industry failing us because of 5DW's.
It will all be a thing of the past.
Malcom you and others don't see that the times have changed different sectors do different kind of work so we don't need to be qualified in tray work etc etc. I'm sure if most of us domestic sparks could turn our hands to it aswell after a good go at it!
But if we don't do it we can't put it in our portfolio. So the right thing has happened the powers that be (who are in a better position than me and you to judge) have spoken & they've done a fantastic job for us domestic lads!
We are no going to be recognised as fully competent tradesman again. Whether other like it or not!
