I went to price a CU change this evening and the guy told me that his other half had had a price of £80
I told him that I'd struggle to get the bits for that
Put it this way,,,That sounds about right.
£ 80 wouldn`t even cover my labour cost.
What you going to do about it steps? Report it to Niceic?well,
just today I done an EICR on a new build council house,
built and wired in late 2011
no RCD protection on 4 circuits,
up and down lights, alarm and smoke detectors,
and no, all cables are normal T&E buried, bonding wouldnt even have been adequate either,
so, where has the quality control of partP went to?
BTW, although this is the 1st of these house I have done Ive been told the previous one was the same, so Im imagining they will all be the same,
approx 20+houses done by NICEIC approved,
what the F is the point ? :C
you know the answer. There isn't any.so, where has the quality control of partP went to?
Think I've said before that our local building control were caught on the hop when Part P came in. I've dealt with the Principle BCO there since he was a plain BCO, when he left the council and went out on his own and now that he's back and climbed the ladder. They had officers who, no disrespect, were used to measuring the depths of holes with a yard stick. They ended up arguing the toss with sparks over things they knew nothing about and sometimes WINNING as they would take the "I won't sign it off" line. Silly things like forcing new through extension sockets to be at Part M heights and not matching the rest of the lounge. Or insisting sockets above worktops were at the same lines at the light switches etc and then being offset to the tiles. They had so many complaints (fights?) that in the end the council employed their own NICEIC electrical sub-contractor who they used for their own work to act as on site building control officers. Still the case now I think though they are really only called in now if there's a dispute the "normal" BCO's having learnt what's what as time's gone on.you know the answer. There isn't any.
Building regulations were designed to make buildings safe and efficient.
They have a team of building control inspectors who check buildings as they are being constructed to ensure compliance with building regulations.
Only when it comes to phart pee, their inspectors don't inspect as they know jack about electrics.
So you have the scam providers do it for them, and they don't seem to give a jack either.
If you are going to have a building regulation, then the only sensible way is for the building inspectors to inspect it for compliance. and that would mean giving them the training needed so they know what they are looking at.
:slap :slap :slap You're not from round here then BlueyMost council jobs I see are spot on but thats when its their own guys.
I think the problem lies with the subbies and the subbies of subbies who get there mate to sign it of![]()
