Anybody on here have one? I'm looking at a 56 plate (New Shape) with around 50k on it. I'm actually at the moment not going be too concerned with loads of work use as work with a Saprk & I travel with him. I'm probably going to get more use out of it Social & Domestic...Motorway drives...

Spot on there Mate, except the chasing bit in my case. I'd done a couple of years with a Spark prior to completing my Level 3. I'm just going to enroll on my NVQ after having finished my 2330 a couple of years ago. Lack of work convinced me to hold out, but lack of work now is convincing me to...

I can, just not with the redesign...unless I'm getting confused? Which of course I am...

I'm sure he said it's tripping the breaker not the RCD. I didn't look exactly at what the armoured in the house was wired into. It was into some kind of plug in adaptor, yet non of the armour was into it. Taking the load of equipment in the outbuilding, I'd need to reduce it by diversity but...

I'm almost thinking I'm out too!...I think it's cellulose but not asked about that yet. With regards to the post about certification, the Contractor who has trained me past 3 years would be willing to certify as I've talked a little through with him but not in detail as I've not seen him...

Will start by apologising if this is long winded. I subcontract as a Mate & don't normally do my own work, yet have been asked to look at tidying up a supply to an outbuilding. Would like some clarification on what I've done & if I'm right? Or where I've gone wrong... The outbuilding is...

Cheers Guys. I know, everybody's in the same boat which is why I'm just hoping to find a couple of days at the least & try my hand at work I know I can confidently take on. I have fallback in the eventuality I hit an issue with a couple of guys if I really need it. Deke, I've done the...

I apologise, but I've got to jump in the queue & try my arm to find some continuity of work... I'm 39, live in Birmingham, but willing to travel out of town if needed. Qualified to C&G 2330 L3 2010. 17th edition (need to look at doing my update amendment) Have been working amongst a few...

Decided against the tile removal. Was a splashback with the Mosaic type...doubt they were put in by current lad who was living there...

Thanks for all the replies!!! Yeah, not how I'd have liked to do it but is the easiest and cleanest option without having a trailing boiler lead or YT2 across the tiles to a Spur. Would have been nice to split the ring on the original spur, make that a 20A DP Switch & have a new FCU next to...

Have been asked to supply a feed for a boiler. Now I'm aware of the Spur off a Spur, but wonder how this works?? Currently the customer has a switched FCU off the Kitchen Ring Final above the work top supplying a single socket for the washing machine. The wall is tiled and so to avoid damage to...

Danny I've sent you a PM...forgot to add in that I'm CIS registered too. Cheers Andy

Evening all I'm currently coming to an end of a Small New Build Development, possibly Mid-End of August and am not sure what the contractor has in mind after this. Would anybody have anything whereby they could include a Mate/Improver? I'm 38, retrained in 2007 via night school and have...

Hi Guys I've just moved down to Cornwall after finishing on a contract in The Midlands. (Used to Live in Cornwall & have relatives here). Looking to continue in the capacity of a Mate/Improver. I am Level 3 2330 qualified & have 17th edition, CSCS, Asbestos Awareness. Mostly Domestic...

I was in Print Industry for 18 years before jumping into this...I can't quite believe my misfortune at now being so quiet & wondering when it's ever going to come round? Mind, had I stayed in Print I'd have lost my job again! So maybe 2 days is netter than nowt! Which Print Co's were those...
