I will put money  on the EICR being a Landlords condition report, which is a visual only.  Even if i offered those it would be more than £30. About 10 years ago we used to do call out work for a local agent at £40 each job. That was cheap then but all work was within  1/2 mile of his office...

I certainly did not make any mention  of relays to control sounders which is a commonly used method in many applications. You mentioned them for the tampers, which i have never seen and can see no need for.  I also did not say dont do it just because i have not seen it done, it was an observance...

Things have  changed over the years   but  i was taught to never connect more than one SAB to an alarm, the front would be a SAB and any others would be SCB's. SAB= uses power from the main panel to sound the siren, SCB=uses the internal battery in the bell box to power the sounder.  Your...

I asked the original question regarding  existing systems, not on installation.  In many properties  visited to carry out a checkup/service/alteration to the fire alarm  we cant find  the panel or its  fitted in a most obscure place. Recently we found a panel next to the commercial ovens in a...

I think it was 21k when i had to register. I was a sole trader then but  changed to ltd.

I am glad to see the various response's. Take the scenario of a typical   shop, may be just one zone or possibly two- shop floor and rear of shop, does it matter where the panel is as long as it works . After all else what is it doing other than telling you  it has been activated and the...

I only use 1.0 on domestic jobs nowadays. Easy to terminate 2 cables into better lights & never a problem on a 6A B breaker. On our shop fitting jobs we nearly always use Klik distribution boxes wired in 2.5 to a 6A C with 0.75 flex to each light, all shop jobs are wired in LSZH cable.

Putting one of those PAT stickers on it will add value (no need to actually test) 

My wife buys sh*tloads of stuff from Wish. Lots is free and pay £1 postage. Most she buys is £1 stuff with £1 postage, never top quality stuff but great for the price, watches, flashing pens, gadgets with leds in and that sort of toot.

I have looked this up a few times previously but dont think i found a definitive answer. Many times the fire alarm panel (with no repeaters etc) seems to be hidden away in cupboards or behind shop shelving. Other times commercial units layouts get changed so the panel ends up in a toilet or...

Probably only a couple of pence, but thats still biting into the profit

I do that, even when behind the slot in plastic cover. Also, Wylex for one say to use a P2 driver for all terminals.

BTW, Its been fixed. It was fine last time i worked at that board about 2 years ago.

Yesterday i asked the  Niceic if the  GN3 offered in the new bundle is rev 7 of the 17th  or is a new version for the 18th included. Just now i got this reply   , Good Morning, It is something we offer for the 18th edition. Best regards So that's clear then   FFS.

Damage already done and cable welded in, first thing after turning off  was to give them a tug and they didnt budge even giving a yank with pliers.

Does Emma need a new perm ?

Well spotted. I took that pic holding the camera over my head as the board was near the ceiling and my steps wern't tall enough

I had a phone call from the Nic trying to flog me  sets of the new books. When i looked it up on their web site (not bad prices for any of them) it appears the package  with GN3 is an old one

Is revision 7 the current & latest version & will a new one come out with the 18th ? Cant find one on the IET website.
