The first post is 2006!!

Think you need to be re-trained FaverFred, a split load board won't meet 17th edition regs! Need at least dual RCD with some extra ways for RCBOs (for smoke alarms etc.). Not got your 2382 then?

While we're at it - your post is as close to spam as you can get! We aren't allowed to advertise here & you aren't the only Leeds based electrician here on MSE mate!

Hi !!!!!!!!...........................this site is not for advertising...........it says it quite clearly.

And while im at it, in your own words, you are not qualified to carry out domestic installations but you still advertise yourself on here as a "fully qualified elctrician". Hear this.............YOU'RE NOT. You are a cowboy and everything that is wrong with the industry in this country these days.

Your information is wrong and if you have any qualifications, there are way out of date. Go elsewhere to mug people off mate.

And as for you "buildhome", you've spent the last few hours spamming (in what i think is English!) so dont throw stones in glass houses pal.

Firstly apologies for bumping this rather old post, but the last 2 post to this thread where bothering me.

a split load board won't meet 17th edition regs

Yes, but you could just use rcbos on the non rcd side where required and it would be fine.

with some extra ways for RCBOs (for smoke alarms etc.)

See point 1, But mains powered smoke alarms with a battery backup, are fine on an RCD.

you are not qualified to carry out domestic installations but you still advertise yourself on here as a "fully qualified elctrician"

A qualified electrician be it one who mainly carries out industrial or commercial work or someone who wires houses all day can carry out part p work, without being a member of an approving body. as long as the council are notified.


A last point, how is farverfred adversing? I mean hes left no web address or phone number, (unless its been edited which would be fair enough) other then mention what area hes in which is entirely relevant to the thread as prices vary so much on geographic location.

I have had a quote from two people to replace my fuseboard and do other work.

Edit:

Quote 1 is £450 has been to see the job and quote 2 is £150 and has not been to see the job.

Has anyone recently had this type of work done in the London area and if so could they recommend anyone local to me?

I would very much appreciate it. I am a litlle scared now after having 2 wildly differing quotes and would like to go on recommendation now instead.

Thanks.

Hi Claudia,

This is a very old thread.

I have someone who I use on a regular basis for some properties I own. He is an independent and based in London. I am not at home right now but can dig his number up and PM you maybe? I dont want to post his details on an open forum.

He comes highly recommended by fellow MSE'ers on another related thread on here which I cant find now (thats how I first contacted him) Either that or try NICEIC.com to find someone local to you and get more quotes.

Goodluck for now.

We had a fuse board put in under our insurance with homeserve and got no certificate issued by electrasmart for the work carried out was not even tested! is that legal ?
We now need it made bigger as the board they put in is not big enough to include our shed and garden electrics which the old one did!This should have been done when they replaced our old board but wasn't!:mad: Electrasmart said they would fit a bigger board for £450 without VAT cash ... All a bit annoying as this should have been done in the first place costing us nothing as insurance paid. What would you all do?? We need the electrics running ASAP. Electrasmart have now said they will come out and test the electrics and issue a certificatevafter a bit of fuss! but no mention of a bigger board so looks like we will have to pay someone!:mad:

If you got no installation certificate or Part P certificate following a fuse board change then Electrasmart are not acting as registered electricians and you could have an unsafe installation, plus problems when you come to sell. The whole 'cash' thing sounds well dodgy.... steer clear or report them to ELECSA who they purport to be registered with for this type of work. It says on Electrasmarts website:

"f the work you’ve had done is affected by Part P, your contractor will notify ELECSA of the job done and you will receive a building compliance certificate from ELECSA."

Hmmmm...
