    Critique my EICR testing process

    Haha cheers Murdoch, I imagine that too but would rather walk away in knowledge can rest easy and not left much to chance. Plus took on my own apprentice recently so need to up game and not pass on any sloppy habits. I confirm the circuits when doing my R1+R2. I find it tedious going round...

    Critique my EICR testing process

    Right here goes.....I'm opening myself up to be slaughtered here but might be worth it. I've started doing EICR's recently as the obvious demand is high at the moment and likely to be for a while. The reality is though, that realise need a higher level of competence for this. That said I've got...

    3KW cooker on Living room ring??

    Thanks Murdoch as helpful as ever. Unfortunately there is no chance of this going in the kitchen it's a big Rofco oven. I can't find the exact one online but is a big unit no way would fit in their tiny kitchen. From what I've read of Rofco cookers they are more suited to commercial environments...

    I think your pretty much on the money there SL seeing loads of this sort of thing. See ring on a 16 the other day and sockets on a 6 just because they either don't know better or more likely can't be arsed going to get the right MCB's Locked to prevent being resurrected (again)

    Having an absolute mare with dimmers

    To confirm, I managed to get back there today. Will never ever ever use Knightsbrige dimmers again, had one working fine. One worked a while and 2 of them failing to dim whatsoever. It was low voltage LED's they clearly struggled with these. Ended up swapping them for cheap Screwfix specials LAP...

    Thanks guys. I just find these a bit of a pain explaining to customer when it's kitchen. It goes something like this....I can probably sort it for you for my minimum charge, but can't guarantee won't have tripping issues, or look I might need to dismantle some of your fixed appliances, to get to...

    I'll definitely be asking if she's got it but would be very surprised if she does. Looks to be a full refurb done by builders and no company sticker which is usually a tell tale sign.

    Thanks Murdoch good to have it confirmed. Just that I'm seeing it so much that got me questioning is there something that these sparks know that I don't 🤣 this place only recently had full rewire and both of the 2 rings incomplete

    Incomplete rings incomplete rings everywhere

    Evening Another basic query but still intrigued to know from others how they approach these situations. Been doing quite a few EICR's lately and seems on nearly every other job I'm finding incomplete rings. All 3 conductors no continuity so no signs was ever wired or intended to be a complete...

    Having an absolute mare with dimmers

    Thanks Bruspark. The knightsbridge ones are generally ok and they are definately dimmable gu5.3's. The same but 3 gang dimmer works on the same set of lights in different area. But fact have tried two on this set and not dimming has me stumped. I think it could possibly be something with wiring...

    Having an absolute mare with dimmers

    Thanks mate. I'm not sure if can change the modules will look into it as customer wants to keep all fixtures the same finish.

    Having an absolute mare with dimmers

    Yeah definitely Murdoch, tried them out on same set of lights in different area of apartment. I just can't get my head around why voltage not adjusting at the actual switches
