We don't nick stuff up here, we just keep the place tidy by removing surplus 'waste' saves the NHS a fortune by preventing unfortunate accidents caused by people tripping over pallets and the occasional discarded truck.
Too me, mate... you’re “down there” not “up here”
Must be hard practicing that kind of restraint! ?need to limit to 5 pints if driving back.
You do realise that you don't need to be a member of a scam to do a CU swap don't you ? It sounds to me like you have the experience to be considered competent to do the work. I suspect your biggest problems will be access to an MFT and the cost of a notification to your LABC dept.... yeah I can re-qualify and join a scam ...
the recall of a 6amp mcb that was Meany years ago ,
A very small number of Electrium MCBs, sold under the brand names Wylex, Crabtree (Loadstar only) and Volex are not perfroming to the required characteristics. This can lead to a potential risk of burning, in a small number of installations.

Yeah, that's a bit of a problem if you don't know someone well enough to be able to borrow one.1) I no longer have a mft so I cant or wont do live tests, dead tests yeah but those mean little if the rest cant be done if you do not have the gear, do not do the job, simple.
I understand that, it's my approach as well - which is why, at my last job, I didn't get to do a lot of network installation jobs as they were subbed out to people who'd do them in half the time. The problem comes when trying to find a tradesman who can work to the same standards, and who you can afford3) All of my work was done to a high standard, I may be a little ocd in that department but I expect the same from everyone else.
I think we have similar viewsAs for the LABC, well I have my views on that, on one hand its supposed to cut out poor workmanship but on the other, its money going to some jobs worth fat **** that's creaming it of another's hard work but the rules are set even if they don't work.
I put in a notice at the last house to change the CU - and just sent the lower fee. The inspector did ask about tests and I just said "I'll be providing results" without being any more specific. My plan was to do my own EIC and just send that - I doubt they'd have been bothered as it means they have a magic certificate that protects their backsideWonder what would happen if someone just sent them a letter advising work done, included test results and pictures and ending the letter with; if you want to come and inspect it that's fine but I won't pay for your time. ?
