Probably quite tame to some of you but thought I'd share them. Apparently the meter casing had been reported as cracked by a meter reader.... Customer was still using it, couldn't see what the problem was... and said she lets her kids play hide and seek in the same cupboard!! This one was a...

My sisters friend has just asked me if I'll go round and test a house she's put an offer in for. This is the report she got.... The meter and consumer unit are located in the cupboard within the kitchen. Where visable, the instalation has been wired in plastic covered cable. Surely that just...

Just had a call of a friend of my Dad's. His garage wiring has been playing up for a while, tripping the rcd in the garage cu and occasionally blowing the fuse in the house (rewireable) board. Had a bloke he knows look at it for him. Plugged in a socket tester and said there's voltage there...

I was talking to someone today thats just had their wiring tested so they can rent out the house. The bloke that did it condemned the lighting circuits as they had no cpc and only advised that the two old wylex rewirable c/us needed changing (covered by a 100ma rcd before the boards). I can...

Goes on a bit but some of the replies are worth it!! Click if you dare!

Been reading through all the threads on here about people's experiences and what's expected, but I was wondering if anyone had, or knew anyone who had failed it? Looking to book mine soon and I'm not looking forward to it at all!!

A mate of mine owns a large IT support and install company that covers most of London and is looking into offering PAT testing to his customers. As I've got my c&g 2377 qualification he's asked me how much I'd charge to do it. I've seen prices vary from around

Could be more possible stupid questions here but got plenty of help off here so far so thought I'd carry on!! Managed to sort out the high Ra reading I was getting. Done all the tests on the garage, just want to check they all read ok. (This is the first install I've tested on my own that isn't...

Firstly apologises if these are stupid questions but it's doing my head in! It's the first time I've really used this tester as I've always used Flukes before, both during my course and with other people I've worked with. The instructions with it, to me at least, seem to make no sense at all...

I recently rewired my Dad's garage and have been doing the tests on it as building control told me they don't anymore, I have to! Anyway, as most of the work I've been doing has been with other sparkies I haven't done much in the way of testing. When I did my course the IR testing in the small...

Thought I'd join the trend to move across from another forum, can never have too much advise afterall. I've spent the last year woking with local electricians gaining experience, not to mention a few bad habits, now self employed doing domestic works around the North Kent area. Got my 17th...
