    NVQ3 portfolio advice

    you really need to be more specific. Basically the IQA has looked at evidence, and not found anything that meets criteria. You can go back to jobs, if it’s within timescale and basically provide evidence to meet gaps. You hadn’t finished, regardless of assessor comments. That’s the process. My...

    Remedial works following an EICR

    I thought smoke alarms are worth noting in report but should not be given classification code. In which case the work would improve the safety but that can be achieved by fitting 10yr battery alarms much cheaper

    paying overtime in holiday pay

    This is where working OT is a contractual requirement, in which case it is looked at as regular pay and should be pro rata when receiving holiday pay. It's true as self employed I too don't receive it. But then again I used to pay in one month more tax than I now pay all year on my self...

    high ze on tns

    Because they wanted to use summerhouse this weekend. I normally do tt if house is on PME but don't bother with tns. Db2 is all RCD protected and RCD tested fine but don't like to rely on RCD to meet disconnection times.

    fire detection flat above office

    It would have been easier to approach client and suggest fire risk assessment. Then any AFD would be installed to the appropriate class. Just from description that would also include any other amendments e.g basement , shop and flat above with one stairwell should have some building protection...
