I got 88% but then I didn't admit to having more faces than a clock tower

Once you've used a Crabtree you wouldn't go back

I've fitted several from £1000+ where company came out to install ( cold water feed supply, unit plugged into the socket they had asked me to provide) down to cheap £100 jobs, (exactly the same install) all the ones I've fitted come with a moulded plug. If you imagine a simple toilet hand wash...

The correct answer has already been given, floating earth, probably in the bathtub, could be sink, more than likely before the jb you are connecting into.....

We'll it used to be a free service, I even knew and had the number of a local guy but last time I enquired I was told there was a charge now?!

I'm working on a new build which had a new supply installed with a new smart meter, customer has been living there for two months and even after numerous complaints the meter is and always has been showing the reading 00000000E. Should make reading it much easier ! I should really get back and...

Made me chuckle at the image of a crack team of supply officials all sitting round in an office waiting for a buzzer to sound as a covers removed somewhere...... Then flying out of the yard Bodie & Doyle style. In the real world you can book an appointment weeks ahead and still nobody comes...

The cable should have been disconnected at the consumer unit/fuse box. Personally I remove the line and neutral tape them up but leave them accessible and useable inside the consumer unit so that they could be used in future, eg power into the loft space for lighting or socket power or both. I...

In my experience the men who change the meters are neither electricians nor competent, they only do what it says on tin, they should at the very least glance over the tails/earthing but I've had meters changed on jobs where 6mm cloth covered tails are reconnected....I've fitted isolators and...

There is a new estate near me where all the new builds had to be fitted with these three pin type pendants with energy efficient lamps to meet local building requirements. The three pin arrangement was to stop non-energy lamps ( standard 100w style lamps) being installed, obviously the light...

Im working on a new build at the moment and from day 1 the meter has read 0000000100 with error in the top corner, it's a self build and it's been like that for 6 months, customer has paid one £28 bill but then received a letter to say they are in credit?!?....... And before anyone comments nope...

All I know is you can decline their invitation supposedly without prejudice They can only force you to have it installed if the said equipment is faulty In the same way anybody who installs a water meter thinking it would cost effective can ask for it to be removed if they find the 'rates'...

Sounds a good plan, make sure the fuse in the spur is 5A/3A,

I hate these jobs, I have to ask, how much are you being paid for this? I have found myself doing backflips to please customers who in the end are usually reluctant to part with so much as a token gesture for all the time spent 'pacifying their egocentric trip' Bad day sorry .......what would...
