sell it or get back into it, what about pv ? my sparks just got into it, he's busy even tho payments might be reduced, not mcs yet but gets someone in for £600 which cust pays,

got plenty of plumbing going on to be honest, have rewired a couple of houses but not much since then, but better to have the tools ready if the plumbing drys up and work comes along. Im looking to do my solid fuel quals in the next few months as well as i have been seeing more and more interest in this both dry and wet. more feathers in the cap and all that.

What do you mean desrob?

The problem with the word 'competent' is that someone who isn't competent can't possibly know that they don't know something. Competent in the building regs is defined as someone who is Part P qualified.

A friend's a spark who took over the electrical repairs at a company after their in-house maintenance man managed to give someone a slight electrical shock when he cocked up a repair. The employee complained and HSE took him to court where his defence was that while he wasn't qualified he was competent. The HSE lawyer asked him what Ohm's Law was. He didn't know, and that was the end of his defence. Found guilty.

what did he get slap on the wrists ?

To be honest I never asked, all I know is the maintenance guy lost his job.

I'll give him a call later and try and find out.
