[QUOTE="boltonsparky, post: 502781, member: 4678"] Interested to know if most of you carry out any testing before you start the job you're there to do or just crack on and deal with any issues once they're found? Simple job today, convert a couple of existing 1 gang sockets to 2 gangs. Open circuit on cpc, spurs off spurs, grommets missing, a total DIY nightmare, some in red and black so predating the stickered CU change in 2007. Found this out during testing after doing the job and the subsequent investigation to locate the break in cpc. Not the first time I've come across it. From now on and talking to others I'm going to do the testing when turning up and advising of any faults before starting work, as well as the testing after doing my work. I'd looked at the job before hand to give them a price, split load RCD board relatively new, bonding up to standards, thought it'd be a decent circuit but far from it. Similarly when changing out an accessory like for like how many of you do the full testing or just take a Zs and visual of bonding/earthing arrangements? [/QUOTE]
