Hi I was just reading your post. A couple of simple points which may help you out. , If you or a friend or colleague is a NAPIT member,once the member logs in, there is a download section containing technical advice. One of the topics discusses supplies to sheds/ outbuildings in great...

Thanks folks. Very sound advice. We had planned to do the work on evenings / weekends, as the main office has of course desktop computers Will have to try to come up with a solution. Best wishes, Speedster.

Hi All, Just been to look at some offices. Just 2 Storeys. They want an EICR. 3Ph Board. Only one 3 Ph circuit. The rest are 32 single phase circuits, 27 of those circuits protected by RCBOs (so a bit more time needed for those) The installation is only 5 years old but they've lost all...

Thanks Pewter. I didn't think of that. Just tried it. 24 circuits per page !!! Happy days. Best wishes, Speedster.

I met a '5 day wonder' recently and asked him how he was getting on. Yes I'm doing part P work now he told me, and I'm busy.Then he added, ' NAPIT wouldn't accept me but ELECSA did'. He knows I am a full scope member of NAPIT (he didn't have sufficient qualifications or experience for NAPIT...

Hi all I was wondering if anyone else had thought about changing the Tysoft Schedule of Test Results page, from landscape to portrait ? It would be very useful for  ICRs  where there are a lot of circuits. I know you can produce continuation pages , but I would prefer more results on the same...

Hi All. I need to price for carrying out 3 hour test runs on 5 x 3 storey blocks of flats. There are about 6 emergency light fittings in each block. The blocks are all in the same small town and the town is 20 minutes drive from my office. One more thing, there is no existing documentation ...

Hi Wiz, It involves one circuit basically,but not necessarily a new one from the board. The supply has to be taken from a convenient and suitable point in the customer's installation. If there isn't a spare way in the dist board, then the supply is taken from an existing power circuit. An...

:D   Thanks to all of you for taking the trouble to reply. I will go with my hourly rate for time it takes to get to and from the job, time taken to carry out the installation work and the inspection and test, plus time for filling in the certificate and doing the part p notification. I'll...

Hi all, I am a full scope napit member and have been asked to quote for travelling to and from sites, up to around 70 miles from home to install & connect sewage/ pumping equipment in domestic premises, (so comes under part p ) and subsequent notification to the relevant local authority...

Hi Folks, Just finished, some installation condition reports on small blocks of flats, 6-8 flats per block. 2 to 3 storeys each block Each block has its own distribution board, with 5 or 6 circuits. What should I charge per block ? I just need a ball park figure. Any help gratefully...

Just Wondering what others charge for Annual inspections on Small blocks of flats emergency lighting,  (typically 3 floors in total) of around 6 to 12 flats and around 10 x non maintained,brick type fittings.  Also I was recently asked about 6 monthly checks, in addition to the Monthly and...

Hi All. Went to a very nice large thatched property yesterday. They would like a quote for an installation condition report. Supply is TT. At the main intake position are; one 3way consumer unit, one 4 way unit, then 100mA RCD and switchfuse for distribution circuit feeding two 6 way consumer...

Just a thought. Tysoft Easycert. Certification software package includes EDN forms.You only need plain paper, but you can print onto nic forms. The package was highly recommended by members of this site. I bought the package in time for the Jan 1st amendments. Its excellent and quick. I...
