Hi all, I have a question.... Does anyone know of a fire rated emergency mini downlighter that has been specified for use within a metal web (posi joist) ceiling? Fire rating must be 60 or 90min due to joist depth. I am struggling to find anything other than converting a fire rated standard...

True but thats on Wylex, Crabtree etc etc.  We are not held accountable for a product recall, but we are if we install a second hand item - thats my point. Cheers for that - but they dont have any though!

TBH, not much to do with that. Very difficult to test MCB breaking currents without very expensive kit.  Manufacturers warranty their own products in their own DBs but not if re-located.  This means that if you are installing second hand MCBs you cant know that it operates within its required...

Yep

Difficult due to DB location (GF toilet, small area and clients won't be pleased as there is no space for it to be fitted).  If they haven't re-branded will need to be a replacement  DB............

Yes I agree, your charge is fair (poss a little to low) but, as has already been said, you also will get bitten once in a while.....if the customer wont pay for the work because they think its steep your options become limited to accepting what they will pay, off to small claims court or your...
