Hi All, me again.
I quoted a small job in a landlords house. The CU is located in a cupboard under the staircase and has rammed with the tenants rubbish. I asked the landlord what type of CU was in there and he told me it was replaced 2 years ago for an RCD board. I moved abit of stuff and...
I wonder if I can have any guidance on this issue. In a commercial building we look after they have the old type of meters to check the usage by the occupiers.
We have been instructed to change them to a "Smart" type of meter which will be connected to our BMS to accurately record usage, peaks...
I was talking to a fellow spark today and he said I have gone about this wrong. But I disagree so I would like your opinions.
Been out to a property with and old rewirable fuse board.
(I don't know what that's defined as).
They had a spur out the back feeding a disconnected 2.5mm T&E feed in...
Hi,
I have been in discussion with a friend Regards minor works certs for a couple of jobs he did recently.
1. Move light (cable is not extended just moved 300mm using slack in loft)
2. Change single socket to a double socket.
He has insisted he is not altering the circuit and that it is...
Hi Guys,
Hope this is in the correct section. I just recently discovered that I am technically not allowed to install an extractor fan despite being outside of the special zones and would need an electrician to fit so they test and issue certificates. Now I have found clear information on what...

Hi,
Just a few questions as I rarely do any domestic work.
I'll be changing a few single sockets to doubles and also adding a few extras on the existing ring. Currently has no RCD protection and common sense suggest that because I'll be adding sockets I should add RCD protection?
Downlights...
Hi,
I have just started a new build today, its a large U shaped bungalow with vaulted ceilings etc.
I have split the property down into a lot of circuits to help with things due to cable runs etc.
I have just wired a section of it today, I was going to do it all in 4mm radials, but by the...
I've got a small office which was connected to a B32 MCB, inside the office it had a 2kW heater, 58W luminaire and 2 x double sockets.
The sockets and heater have been removed, just leaving the 58W luminaire.
Replacing the supply MCB from B32 to B6, would this warrant a minor works or would...
I have been through a time served electrical apprenticeship, achieved LV 3 2330, AM2, NVQ, and all other stuff to do with, 6 years ago. I do not not have test and inspect. I have always worked for large contracting companies, in the cushy side (maintenance) and have never had to supply certs for...
Hi all. Got a query could do with a bit of advice off other sparks who are qualified supervisors. i am working for a company that is registered with the NICEIC. We are currently have a contract doing ecrs to properties as requested by client and then after that the properties are having boiler...
Hi,
The NICEIC just told me I should not be issuing Minor Works Certificates for work carried out by the house owner but inspected and tested by me (NICEIC registered). I'm a bit surprised. So is that right no-one is allowed to run their own cables and connect their own sockets without...

Hi, Im a registered Kitchen fitter for a well known and respected company and therefore all trades I use also have to have all relevant papers (gas safe, part p etc)
I started a kitchen and arranged for my spaks to turn up at the point I needed him, all he needed to do is plug in the appliances...
Hi so whats the best way to go about this?
Added 3 lighting points to an existing lighting circuit, the fuseboards old with no rcd.
Upon completion of testing , all tests okay apart from N-E on insulation test.
My additional wiring tests okay on everything but the existing circuit contains...
Hi,
I got geared up for testing and inspection via my owm limited company last year but haven't got it up and going (and doubt that I will to be honest). I've just been round to sign off a mates garage conversion on pretty much a favour basis and so have a couple of questions:
The extent of...
