Ohms
Did i just swear [emoji12]
Probably not, ironic you said that word as I joined the sparkies last night with an ohms question, lol
i see you met marvo and they labeled you as a diy rpm
Which I thought was fair enough Shaun as 1) being a newbie there and 2) no electrical qualifications, must say a mod was good enough to stand up and speak on my behalf when a little flak came my way.
So do you reckon I was just unlucky with the switched fused spur with a dodgy rocker switch?
In my world there are different trades for a very good reason!
I use them all from ground workers to roofers,floor screeners,steel fixers,and sparkies too .
I learnt a very long time ago that yes some guys can do several trades but they are normally big enough to admit when something is beyond them.
There are others who want every job going,they normally do a second rate job on all of them.
Agree to an extent but there is inevitably some overlap between trades. You wouldn't call in a chippie every time you needed to notch a joist. You'd just learn the requirements for safe / permissible notching.
Likewise, as plumbers / heating installers we should be able to install a shower or heating controls , or to move a fused spur without calling in a spark.
However, as electrics are notifiable, I see the need for things like the "defined scope part P" which allows you to self-certify minor works without being fully 17th Ed. qualified. As long as people don't think that makes them a sparkie, and as you say, are big enough to know the limit of their competence, it's better to have these training schemes than for people to just bodge it.
EXACTLY WHAT I BEEN SAYING
It's getting on my ti's people banging on about only doing one trade, and bleating on about regulations.
A heating engineer is a plumber but controls are wired. So you need to be able to do both. A shower pump a electric shower there is no need for 2 trades it not rocket science........ You would think
I am a plumber and have no interest in being a sparkie just want to be able to do my job!
Love how people seem to think that I am stupid and have no understanding

No one is against you tommy, I am just trying to say that none of these trades can be taught in a day or two.
Your comment about just doing a 2 day course is never going to win any friends on a professional forum where people have trained for years and are still learning (as I am every day).
So am I crazy wanting to do my own electrics
You just seem to think that electrical work is about putting a bit of cable from a to b, you are seriously mistaken, that's why we all train for years in our chosen trades.
No sparkie-bashing! What's happened to this forum???
I used to do elecs before gas.
Used to be with Big gash on esd (electrical services division)
And had their part p ticket.
I prefer gas but also been asked a few times lately for leccy work.
I think you would have been better just phoning up the part P scheme providers and asking there requirements then joining the one that let's you join with the least knowledge.
We have all given our advice but you have already made up your mind so good luck with it, I hope it works out.
Have to say - ive never seen a baddun !!! (c2002 - 2007 electrics)i hope your better than some of the installs/ coms swaps ive seen done

At least on eleccy side it was all good - but at that time we could walk on water amd treat like gods lmao - we were the most profitable part of the business and carrying the gas side !!
Hmmm funny smell with that one lol doesnt ring true.
Im not calling BS... but im not far off it.....[emoji12]
