While there I was asked to check some work they had done by another sparks. He is registered with Elecsa & according to the customer was a bit full of himself, while chatting he told them he'd done a month course to get approved & qualified as an electrician. But they used him as a favour (he's old man is a close freind) as he'd only just set himself up

Anyway I this is what he installed connected directly to supply via henleys.

The 63A 30mA supplies another cu in the garage/workshop for 2x ringmains & 2x lighting circuits.

He was asked to quote for a cu change & add 3 sockets, but told the customer he would have to rewire the workshop as he couldnt reuse the old T/E as he hadnt installed it:C

His price to rewire

  • 2x ring finals totaling 16 sockets (why 2 rings they are in the same workshop/garage measuring 12mtrs x 9mtrs).
  • 2x lighting circuits (8 inside on one circuit 4 outside on other).
  • 1x new cu in garage/workshop.
  • 1x 6mm T/E submain from meter to new cu.
  • 1x (at the meter) enclosure with rcd as main switch & ocpd a 40amp mcb.

 
argh well urm, yes well, i urm meant to return but urm well you know urm sort of urm forgot well actually i ran out of time on the job and seens as my price was so cheap you gets what you pays for :^O :^O

 
I've left it with the customer to deal with, but have told them if they need my input give me a call.

I'm just waiting for the sparks to call & have a moan...... I've left my personalised labels on my work:^O

May be a mistake he will take them off and put them on his work and make out you were the cowboy.

These are quality labels from our forum sponsor & can not be removed without ripping, so I think I'm safe there batty.
