State of that gaff man, don't people do any cleaning

And the bonus is that the light fitting will hold the ceiling paper up in the bathroom!

I'm not a spark. I just find it interesting to see how you guys work. I love how Delroy keeps cheerful, never gets in a flap and I reckon he could do voiceover work! Great stuff.

I think that house needs demolishing instead of a fuse board.

Great video Del ! Keeping it simple and giving us a real world view into a life as an electrician. Not like these insta posers who spend 5hrs on a mains board🤦🏼‍♂️

Strange priorities. You'd think they would get the bathroom ceiling replaced before they start worrying about changing light fittings.

Always amazed to see how differently electrical work is done in Europe and UK vs North America and, specifically, Canada. Always some cringe worthy and shoddy work to discover, though. Poor workmanship and corner cutting is a universal thing. Keep making things safer for your clients! Good job Delroy!

I thought the ceiling paper was going to come down on top of you when you removed the bathroom fitting - It looked like it was the only thing that was holding it up. Had visions of Delroy being attacked by angry paper !!

I am just suprised how only few fuses has been used. Here in Serbia fuse box contains between 12 and 48 fuses. Lighting always has minimum 2 fuses ( one is for bathroom/toilet), every 2kw+ device have its own independent fuse and every circuit with few sockets

Do you think they could have at least wiped down that grimy kitchen wall before you came in to install the cooker. People can be such pigs.

Wouldn't accept a cup of tea there would you 😂

06:18 To glue something lightly so that it can be pried loose later, you might try rubber cement or a tiny dab of contact cement. (At least that's what they're called in America.) If you use contact cement and *don't* follow the instructions -- don't apply 2 layers, but just one small dab -- you get something that will stick to anything but can be peeled loose. Handy for many purposes.

Brilliant work!!

I really like the sound of your event; good luck!

Delroy, it’s hilarious that Delroy the spark is hosting a live event. 😂😂😂😂

Nice light fitted in the bathroom but that ceiling doesn’t look like it’s gonna stay up for too long!

Excellent work Delroy I could listen his voice all day. The Knipex ergostrip Jordan sent you is perfect for slicing the sheath of those meter tails 👍.

Great finishing work

Nice job. Well explained. Appreciate the vids

Another Great job is done,Del

They don't need a sparky as much as they need a decorator.

I just fitted one of those LED bathroom lights - took me about 5 goes to get the diffuser on!

This fella knows how to put it across so people can understand what he is doing ,

Good work Delroy-👍👍👍

Trunking work looks great . But the fuseboard itself looks so messy brand new board change should look so much better 😩

Love your Posts mate...

Another great video!!!

That box fresh Polo shirt in the intro, still got the packing creases in it. :D

real world electrics Delroy good job

Jesus that place needs to be condemned state of the ceiling in the bathroom

5:23 I love the photo of Kurt Cobain they’ve hung up to monitor the fuse board

Very good points , i would like to see a external single channel program switch for combi boiler wiring up , have you got a video clip ,thumbs up

Watching your video you never mentioned nothing about the Earth clip round the incoming supply. It looks like a typical installation where the dno have not provided an earth. Where somebody has placed adjustable Earth clip round the lead cable. If the dno have not provided an earth then this earth clip is not acceptable. Does this installation meet the current edition of the regulations.??

Great content as always Delroy! Always got a smile on your face even when it's been a pain of a job. Wish I could pop down to your live event but it's a tad to far away for me. Keep up the good work 👏 🙌 👍

Great video. Shows you can't fully plan out a consumer unit change until you get the old one off and see what you have (or not) to play with

Crisp straight out of the packet shirt in the intro their Delroy.. ;)

That gaff was a bit of a state Del! Oh my days! I thought the load-bearing cobwebs on the kitchen wall were bad until I saw the state of the paper on the bathroom ceiling! 🙈🤭👀

Another good job delroy 😁

Those Ip65 round lights always have me putting the defuser on two or three times before it seals correctly. Top video Del 👍

What’s the best fuse board in your neck or the woods

Very neat trunking and a neat job all round del. was that the woman asking when is the sockets going to be on? Unbelievable. I haven't seen one of them old mem fuse boxes for years, I think they tried to copy wylex as wylex had such a monopoly years ago. Some of them old mem fuse carriers used to be lethal because the coloured caps would fall off the front and expose the screws that were holding the brass teeth on the fuse carrier and would be live.

Well done Delroy- from another Auld Spark

I noticed you said you have to use d clips in trunking for escape routes........I think that has been updated now so you should use it in all trunking escape route or not............correct me if I am wrong good video by the way

Bit of a clean and some refurb needed in there. Was it a rental?

Wheredo u get work from

Might be a bit late to the party but I've noticed that you didn't use ferrules at the oven end of the stranded oven cable. Does the oven have special clamps that don't require ferrules? I've had quite a few connections come loose without them, so now I always just put a ferrule on the end of stranded wire even when I just want to put it into a Wago or something like that. What's your experience with that stuff? Of course, not putting on anything is still way better than tinning the end with a soldering iron like some DIYers do... Most don't realize that the tin is just going to flow under pressure, which ruins the joint after a few weeks or months.

Any reason to strip outer sheath from main tails? Wouldn’t tape be a better option? Asking for advice more than anything.

Love these minture rcboes brilliant

Trunking top job ! , should u not use crimp connectors for that hub !!? , it’s a must on flexible cable ( in my book ), take a lot to post ur job online… nice to watch as always.

Nice sharing bro

That bathroom is sickening

Nice work! thanks for the video. 🍺🍺🍺🥃🥃🍇🏌🏻‍♀️ Stay safe. Retired (werk'n) keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses!

Still gets me that The DOE have up graded there stuff and t he electrics haven't changed.

The way some UK buildings are planned out are sometimes very odd. Was that a kitchen or a corridor? 🤷‍♂️ Good video as always, interesting to watch!

I hate those connections on the back of cookers,those flimsy back panels do not inspire confidence.

Del why don’t you use the knipex ergostrip tool Jordan from Artisan gifted you ? You was struggling with that cooker wire… would of made that process a lot easier. But all round nice job 👍🏻

That place is in need of some repair. Especially the bathroom ceiling

16:05 Couldn't you have just got some screws from a hardware supplier, like standard self tappers of the same length? It's a huge outlay for another switch just for the sake of 2 self tappers.

Was it a concrete floor or did they just want the fastest solution which was the trunking? And OMG... I was going to moan that the light in the kitchen was a bit wimpy and then I saw the state of the bathroom!

I will do my best not to be disrespectful to anyone's electrical work because I'm not there to critise. I'm there to do what's required to resolve the issue. Respect to All ❤👊❤

No need to try and get screws from Wylex, you can buy screws of any type if you know the thread measurement and length. Also, I think that customer was fibbing, no way did that pendant work before you touched it! (also, what madman wallpapers a bathroom ceiling?)

I haven’t heard that old saying for a long time one way to skin a cat😂😂👍🏻

The wylex isolator is not to current standards, if I come across these on a meter exchange I have to replace with a proteus 3mm hex double screw in them,the wylex is the clamp style that normally work loose over time

I hope that is not a BS951 on supply intake

5:45 v rare long screw gas pipe jointing technique spotted.

How come you didn't rip that rotten ceiling lining off Del? The whole house needs some serious renovating eh??😉

nice to see a spark who takes pride in his work, too many cowboys these days!

Didn't think it was advisable to drill into electrical safe zones

why you didn't expose all the cables first then fit the CU ? Loosen the meter board to get access to all cables and arrange everything properly. Pulling cables like this is not good practice.

16:05 does that CU look crooked or just my eyes ?

I hate not using an SDS.lol

First for tom Nagy's bucket truck

Good Lord that house is a mess... Is that the plasterboard sagging in the bathroom? 😳

Honestly I would of redone the tails from the head to the meter, out the meter and to the CU. Also get yourself a proper ferule crimp tool you'll find ferules done with pliers do actually slide off after awhile.

Nice job Del despite all the shite "landlord quality" fittings.. for the missing screws just measure the ones you have (Vernier guage is useful) then look on eBay, you can buy any size and shape of screw in small quantities there... Better than buying 100 from the factors and using 2.

House was a dump

Before the "Internet", how did "SPARKY'S" VENT ? I mean the "DUMB" Installations ! Beat the "WIFE"??"

Delroy, you need an oscillator to help you identify cables. It will save you heaps of time.

Why the gloves?

Looks like you've done this before 😉

How about some free tickets to the screening Del Boy?

Do the job properly 8 way.

Just so your aware Del that bonding clamp as a main earth is a c2, should be a Hepworth or constant tension, DNO should be notified👍

You need to invest in knipex ergostrip, instead of that knife all the time. So much quicker using one.

Bit messy

Please invest in a proper crimping tool for ferrules, seeing you use pliers just makes me cringe.

you're so lonely, just like me

Use a drill motor pops instead of a screw driver, save your hands so you can keep making videos

I find Del that if you want wire shit up to a modern RCD type fuse you best to upgrade the internal wiring.. with grandfathering applied to electrical standards would not comply today's safety standard.. whilst you might get away with a lighting circuit running 10-20 daisy chained lights you really shouldn't do this on power point because the rcd can't deal with current overload not the old fuses were designed back in the 50's60's used up until the early 90's.. It is a quicker to double-quad gang power point/light sockets (fly by night cowboy/home owner) instead of the proper way to run it to a 50-100 fuse board panel.. current practice in the UK it seems to use 5-6 fuse boards dotted around the home of may be 5-10 fuses per board as they have expanded or divided the home space it is cheaper to be an idiot sparky pay dollar to do an install however cheap out and cut corners and keeping you in business fixing stupid mistakes looking at old council estates now in private hands.. sadly old wiring practices tend not to do well on modern rcd's and as typical what should realistically have 1 double gang on it has several and overloads the fuse personally del if it were me I would of yanked out the whole lot reused some of the components if plausible to do so Personally starting from a blank slate is the best practice in these situations as it a guarantee what is in place is likely fine in a domestic situations in a retail outlet likr a cafe/diner/restaurant application more industrial setup is a warranted install to be in code because it is a guarantee there likely over loaded circuit in play on this site

How are electricians justifying not fitting SPD's when installing new consumer units? It's very hard to justify not fitting them when they're readily available for £20-£30
