Cheers guys. I may have to invest then, I'm just a bit reluctant as I don't have any fire alarm work yet. Thought I'd try my luck as a very helpful regular on here gave me a copy of the 2004 edition years ago cheers

Hi all Bit cheeky but I don't suppose anyone knows of anywhere to get hold of a cheap pdf copy of BS 5389 :2013  parts 1 & 6? I'm currently doing a fire alarm course and would really like it for reference cheers

cheers for replies. gonna try and get hold of that click stuff. Looks decent and I've used click accessories before, thought the quality was good. They also seem like a decent price.

Just looking at the Scolmore range now. I've not come across this before. No it does not need to be 20A, 13 would be fine thanks for this

Hi Anyone have any idea of a brand that do decorative grid switches along with decorative sockets and switches? I need them for 20A isolators at worktop level in a kitchen I'm fitting butcan't seem to find a brand that do. Most brands I've been looking at do decorative grid covers but the...

yeah second that, everyone saves it for christmas weigh-in. I took some unstripped cable last week- 1.20 a kilo Im on a job now where I've ripped out loads of metal clad fuseboards. Are these worth carting to the scrappers? If so is it worth stripping everything from them? Also, I can never...

I know, it does sound expensive. It covers the whole area of my city and surrounding areas where i work. Im not too sure of the cost per head etc, all i know is it works. I get loads of callouts/little jobs from it and a fair few big jobs. The reason i like the mag is because unlike yellow pages...

Its all a bit funny at moment. couple of months ago i was quiet, working half weeks. now Im really busy, cant seem to get enough done in a day, I havent changed my marketing. I did start doing a website, but not had time to finish it. I have an advert in a local mag, and thats about it really...

Ah okay. Havent got that many. Take it that was that hotel you did? Suppose when there's loads of smaller boards its not too difficult for an installation to get over 28. Cracking on with this report now, loads quicker with the new tips. Can't seem to find an undo button though.....

Brian, Many thanks for that. Its nice to know you look at the forum and can reply so quickly. KME, what is the limit?

Drives me mad the lack of stock there! Is good for some things, most MK accesories so cheap if you buy at least ten. They dont come in boxes though which really annoys me. It is quite easy to think its always the cheapest place, not the case for a lot of things in the catalogue. Some things...

Hi all, finally moved into the modern age after reading so many posts about easycert. decided instead of wasting money on expensive scam cert pads i'd buy a netbook and easycert. I must say, it looks great and after doing my first PIR other day with netbook on site im impressed. I'm now...

take it your client has got you to try and work out if theres a way round them not paying for it then! EDF are not obliged to install a bigger supply if you require a bigger demand. I couldnt build a factory in my garden then tell the DNO their obliged to build a sub-station to power it because...

most likely chargeable for that mate. wont be cheap!

my heart sank when i read that. missed out on a free screwdriver! Even though ive got dozens. I also found it too much hassle

Unfortunately it definately is

yeah well i'm a joiner by trade, hence the quality of the box. I do sometimes like to try my hand at three phase electrical work too

Heres a few piccy's of a very innovative 3 phase junction box found in a loft on a PIR last week. Its 16mm 4 core fed from a 63amp MCB, earth used as armour. Notice how one of the henley blocks has 2 phases in it! and the other has a huge crack. Anyway, thought I'd code it, but then thought...

I'll be going to NIC soon enough. I didnt want to join their DI scheme, so i joined napit. I really dont think this means anything to a single customer ive had, apart from the obvious signing off etc. NIC AC does mean alot to some commercial customers. TBH ive never knowingly lost a job through...

I've just bought a netbook, i'm moving into the modern easycert age too. About to download trail. Can you not save as a PDF or something then print off on other pc? Is there a forum discount for easycert?
