Glad you like them!

Lol IP

Hi Ian, I've just finished my level 3 electrical installations course in college do you know any companies that will take on apprentices?

@@LolLol-gd7ly as I retire in august I use to take on 2/3 sometimes if it was 3 only 2 survived . Same as 2 only one stuck at it but that was the 80s different now .. you need to write to companies. With all your details , I am sure you will find someone to take you on .. good luck.

thanks dude

Exactly what I was thinking

Thanks dude 👍

Plenty of decent dependable Electricians in Wexford.

@@williammartinculleton5875 ♥️ ..prob should have said Dublin instead of Ireland 😉 and domestic...

Few more videos to come mate, you will just have to wait and see dude 👀

@@NBundyElectrical oh you such a tease 😂😂😂

thanks Henry

lighting circuit mate, took a feed from the switch across

@@NBundyElectrical Yeah mate I watched the vlog again & you said you'd looped in & out of the switch - sorry pal. Always enjoy the vlogs & your honesty.

I find 16ohm very difficult to believe. Never ever had one that low or any where near it. One wonders exactly how that 16 ohms was measured?

Could also be due to wet ground

Then his price would have been a lot higher. I would have quoted both ... Or discussed with the customer options on that before quoting.

@@eric4709 obviously, just saying it would of been nice, nothing more

Kip Hakes did an awesome job with it!

as other have said mate, I dont think I've ever exported a tt arrangement and forgot to install the timed delayed rcd at mains side, a good learning curve

If you're coming in at the same price, but not VAT registered, then you must only work 80 days a year. Either that or you're a cash-in-hand spark that's not paying your taxes.

So what do you charge labour per day ? 1k ?

@@Marco-mg9tv I am on my own so would take me about 2 days.. Probably about 700-800 parts, so about £300 per day... Leaves a bit on the bone incase of any problems..

nahh

@@yacinehachani9754 You clear arent an electrician if you think I am wrong. A metal clad surface box is an exposed conductive part as it is 'exposed'. If for whatever reason the socket was hanging off the metal clad box and was 'live' with no earth fly lead to the metal clad back box this would cause there to be a potential difference between the two.

ive missed off the time delayed rcd, didn't realise you needed one while exporting tt to be honest, learnt something new today

@@NBundyElectrical ya learn something new each day as they say, good job though

Very wise words, too many arrogant tradesmen around. Which while work is about fine for them.

Couldn't agree more. Return the call even if it's to say you don't want the job. It's a pity that those who screw you around give the whole trade a bad name.

@@paulprescott7913 or maybe they don't exist just for your benefit. Maybe they're overwhelmed and just can't find the time. They're not beholden to you. Just like you don't have to use them. Doesn't make them arrogant... Get over yourself.

@@no_short_circuit and if there is 17 calls? And one of their kids is sick... Are you still more important? You don't know what other people are dealing with. So suck it up. Call someone else princess.

Yes they did mate

@@NBundyElectrical that’s been a helpful one. I’ve just priced something similar, was a bit more but I’m supplying the swa 👍

Too true mate 😂😂

Good to know thanks bud , I’ll make sure we pop back and sort it 👌

Totally agree. PME you’d be fine. I’m surprised he hasn’t TT’d the garage supply. Could of ran 2c in and probably saved some money.

@@yrification customer realised that after buying it mate, defo would have been cheaper

I tend to fit 100ma type S rcd on the tails before it gets to the consumer unit, Wylex do one relatively cheap and then buy a wylex rec 2 isolator and swap out the isolator with the 100ma type S rcd, with metal clad consumer units its especially important with split load boards where there is single insulated cables that would not be protected by the RCD's.. TT RCD's are being used as fault protection as well as additional protection..

Yes mate 👍

270 for parts is too cheap

You're doing something wrong.

@@mohammedmunir6622 if its what they cost, the price is the price surely?

@@sunthroughtheblinds £270 will be what he pays the wholesaler. You don't sell goods for the same price you pay for them do you?

@@markrainford1219 i think the question is more what the mark up should be. there's so much discussion about how an hourly rate should include all your overheads, and then the question of whether you charge for time to collect goods, and then what mark up should go on. lots of bites of the cherry to choose from, but when customers see people quoting eg. 50% plus vat markup, as well as time to the wholesalers, as well as high rates, they start to ask questions.

Not fun with no signal mate

@@NBundyElectrical 😂😂

16 Ohm Earth Z ??? I find that a bit difficult to believe - 16 ohms is a pretty low eth Z from a rod ? Even so... 16ohms still only gives 14 -15 A prospective fault current without taking into account the R1+R2 contribution of the SWA cable at the far end ( ie Zs) .... so rendering any adequately sized upstream breaker ineffective in protecting the SWA distribution cct ( unless due to a direct fault L to N )

@@eric4709 hence the need for the RCD.

@@eric4709 He probably did a Zs at the house and not a Ra. Overall its a pretty poor job

@@johnhoward2104 - Exactly. That is why I showed the reasoning behind it. I didn't go on to specifically mention an RCD as I took it that: most would "see" the reasoning why an RCD is necessary in this case where - the supply is TT.

sadly not this time mate

we work on price per point mate, not day rate

@@NBundyElectrical thats interesting, thanks Nick.

See my reply above to "sunthroughtheblinds"

I dont have an hour rate dude, we price per point

@@NBundyElectrical So if customer only wants one point you charge say £100 even if it’s going to take you a day ….?

@@Marco-mg9tv It wouldn't though would it?

@@sunthroughtheblinds one socket to log cabin with 100m of swa clipped to wall every 400mm …? The point is even if charging by point, which clearly he didn’t, it all comes down to time whether that’s an hourly rate or daily rate or even by point it will be based on an average time per point.

Exactly, even if Adam was getting half (he's not!) that would be £9k a month each (less quoting time). Van payment and tools not taking too much out of that..

@@sunthroughtheblinds Pricing jobs is not always straightforward. If one is going to run a successful business, then one needs to factor in all overheads - and indeed think about what you want to earn as in "take home pay" ( ie less income tax+NI+ pension payments) What would you want to earn as a "decent wage"? if you said say as a minimum £45,000 as gross income then - assuming you "effectively" work "on your own" say 44 weeks of the year and 40 hours per week - then you need to be taking at least £25 per hour every hour JUST to cover your wage! - now add in the apprentice, and overheads ...... ..... That is - out of that £1400 has to come VAT= £233 (less VAT paid out in materials so the VAT element cost will be circa £180), the apprentice wage, +all overheads not forgetting income tax, NI, Corporation Tax if Ltd company, depreciation, maintenance, mobile phones, provision for bad debts, accountant fees and of course vehicle costs - and also ..... subsistence even meal breaks have to be paid for also.

@@eric4709 All your points are accurate in themselves, but don't acknowledge what that job earned! Less vat and parts the job probably paid about £850. Apprentice wages (unless Adam gets more than standard rate) were £60 tops, leaving ~£800. Very generally, even if you only work 3.5 days a week to take into account quoting and paperwork, that's still £2,800 per week or £128,800 per year, including 6 weeks holiday. Even with 10% pension, 6% NI, £500/mth van lease, fuel, etc etc, thats still a good £6k *take home* a month. If Limited company, likely to be a good amount more via tax benefits. Not begrudging it, and obviously not all jobs will pay that, just saying that it was well paid considering Adam had his assessor there, they made a video, and said they weren't at it solidly for every hour of the day.. Crazy that other quotes were for twice that.

Varies all over the country mate

@@NBundyElectrical just an average a year? £40k?

1 million dollars

@@DaIIen holds pinky finger in mouth

I’m £40/hr so £320 daily take home so where I am at I should be at nearly £85k a year for my area (outside of London) I work 6 days a week and only have a Sunday off currently.

they are clipped direct mate, and visible. not zones require here dude

He’s only ever purchased one roll of 4mm. Can’t say u blame him with copper prices atm

can't be arse with 4mm mate

@@NBundyElectrical Nick please explain … what’s the hassle with 4mm? You’re better than that. Smart sparks don’t install rings these days 🤨

@@Marco-mg9tv I 100% agree Rings in a house is a pain and I never fit them unless the customer has specified for one, But in this instance being in a workshop where all the cables are visible my eyes is very easy to locate and spur off if ever needed, And on top of that it is what the customer asked for I can see the benefit for a fitting a 4mm radial but can never trust that someone will come and fit loads of 2.5 mil spurs off it

@@NBundyElectrical yeah know where you are coming from mate, but a load of 2.5 spurs off a 4mm circuit arguably better than a load of 2.5 spurs off a 2.5 rfc. And you can’t dictate what some dickhead will do in future. Did an eicr the other day where a “used to be qualified “ type had rewired his house- 4 rings- only one of which had full continuity R1/Rn/R2

that's a fact
