It’s good to see you and Adam back on the job. I thought that you were working a couple of days a week together. Great content with nuggets of info ⚡️👊
Just used 10kg bag of jointing compound from Screwfix for chase filling at it's a winner, doesn't slump or shrink and finishes smooth with one fill, no need to top coat. Worth giving it a try 👍
You can set the boxes intp the wall with bonding if you wanna get them all level makes it easier or you can’t get screws in. Sometimes the boxes are sunk too far into the wall from the chasing so as a tip you can set the box with bonding straight to the wall it’s solid! That way nice level boxes and flush with the surface. Nice tidy work 🎉
fair play for the bonding. Not my preference as when the plasterer rocks up the new white points will be covered in plaster. Typical clients who can't wait for the proper plastering.
Hi nick, is there a reason why you dont put capping over your cables. Im not criticizing your work, you come across as a conscientious worker and I allways find your videos interesting, Its just Ive allways been told that you need mechanical protection plus the plaster can sometimes affect the outer sheathing of the cable. Let us know your thoughts.
@@paulroberts-qr7qt Yes but any professional electrician will still use capping or better still oval tube . When I was an apprentice it was drummed into me time and time again the line below. Don’t forget the regulations are the minimum standard required. After all if you got time to make videos and can’t be bothered to spend a little bit more time doing the job professionally that says it all.
@@paulroberts-qr7qt Hi Paul thanks for the feedback. Im concerned not so much with the plasters effects, although I have allways been told that the plasters properties can dry out and crack the sheath over time, but moreso im worried about the effect of the PVA glue used to bond the plaster to the walls. May have to have a chat with my NIC assessor. think I'll stick with my capping or oval tube. cheers, allways like to get other sparks opinion on things.
PVA...yeah...also stops the dry blocks sucking the moisture straight out of the skim or bonding plaster.../ just a query , is there anything in bonding that reacts with galv. back boxes ?
nick I'm in the damp industry you should use sand and cement and not plaster as plaster will act like a sponge and if the wall is suffering from any rising damp issues the plaster will act like a sponge and keep absorbing the damp and wont dry i have seen this multiple times and its just advise
Your better off just dusting down chases even maybe hoover them out and just use water not p.v.a. Pva can cause problems if chases still have dust in them because it just seals the dust to bricks and has no key.
Sliders/ flipflops really on a building site typical of of kids these days. I work in engineering & my daughter works on cnc machines with no overalls or safety specs but they know better
Just out of interest, not a criticism what so ever just curious, is it okay to coil cables and leave them for a prolonged period? Just thinking in relation to leaving extension leads coiled up and then over heating.
I always use oval tube, and when someone hits a cable you will be hoping someone put something on the cables to save hacking the whole wall out. I look at a job like that with nothing on the cables, and it looks rough, there's no debate, we cover cables to protect them from getting damaged by thick plasterers, and I assume a metal trowel is being used so they should have something on them.
@@uddaside of course its not, i never said it would, if you read what i said you would see my point. its to stop cables getting damaged by metal tools used by plasterers, which is what you use to fill a chase, unless you have a plastic one, which i have never heard of.
@@uddaside and another thing that 80p oval tube will do is save your customer around £500, because on a recent job I did the customer hit a cable putting a picture up, the wall paper was £230 per roll, plus a decorator for the day, so around £500. I was able to get above it, pull the leg up and join another piece of cable, for less than £100 including vat.
Not really due to the possibility of Amy The screw directly through the live conductor, at least with split con or SWA. The live conductor is surrounded by other conductors.
@@NBundyElectrical Yeah, it's interesting to see. In Lithuania electricians put in the boxes, plasterers usually don't do it. Normally the cables get routed, holes for boxes get drilled then the walls get plastered and electrician comes back to put the boxes in and then painters finish the wall. So electricians do use all sorts of plaster/glue pretty much all the time.
Nice to see the new Superdry safety sliders used by Adam
Yeah
Nice PPE on Adams feet......sliders for the win
I recently did the same myself with splitcon when a supply moved. The equivalent SWA was 10mm bigger in diameter. I quite liked it.

Con sen trick.
Noticed Adam has fully embraced the easy life of wearing sliders while working, 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice to see you and Adam back together. I notice that Adam was sporting the latest in safety footware.
lol worst thing is I didn’t even notice until I did the video

I am 12 and when I grow up I would love to be like you and have you as my boss because of the way you treat adam
Split concentrate it's good cable easy to use
Adams footwear !!! Self employed life is suiting him.
Nice one Nick great to see Adam back
split con cable is not armoured so will require to be greater than 50mm in wall or rcd protected
Love spit concentric cable is brilliant
yes, it's one of the few cases i disagree with the regs... it to me is a fully protected cable, L-N short will pop the breaker or fuse
I'm certain you have done the plastering wrong. You are supposed to fill the back boxes with plaster aren't you?
Ah sh*t I’ll have to go back and sort it
And cut those annoying long cables back😅
oh no plaster is wrong who cares they stich us up daily
oh no plastering wrong who cares them crack heads stich us daily😂
No that's the job of professional plasterers, very technical leave it to them bud 😂😂
I hope you and Ad had a cuddle in the van for old times sake, and off to his mums..... Sorry, Ad who? 😅😂❤
Weird house. It looks quite modern on the outside, but 50 years old on the inside.

As a plaster u don’t need to use pva be for bonding but in some case u mite need to do it but not all the time
Thanks mate, rather be safe then sorry 👍
Contryentric 😂 Concentric meaning circles with a center. Loving these member videos and your smashing the uploads.
Thanks dude
I love your boots where did they come from
Brilliant vid great bit of banter between you all. Nyyj instead of the split concentric fairly flexible and uv for external?
Adams wearing sliders 😂😂😂😂😂
Been using concentric cable for years👍🏽got a video on my channel on it
Hope those coils under the floor aren’t being made live until kitchen is done because that will get hot. Better call your mate eddy
Glad you're enjoying it again. Didn't see you as an MA fan!. Did he send you the Tee? Rewiring his new house?
No mate brought me and the kids some stuff a while ago 👍

Cowboy springs to mind.
Capping isn't needed, it's a personal choice to protect cables from the plasterer not plaster. It's in the regs.table 4A2 reference method C

What is Adam doing with flip flops on lol
And Bundy Sunday continues😂😂
Haven’t seen the vid yet but is the answer, posing again? 😂

Only a issue for external solid walls (no cavity). I'm sure this house has a cavity

How is Adam wearing slides on a building site
Just out of interest, not a criticism what so ever just curious, is it okay to coil cables and leave them for a prolonged period? Just thinking in relation to leaving extension leads coiled up and then over heating.
I would say the differences and extensionally is tightly coiled around a plastic drum, my cables looped around nothing and arnt tightly wound bud
How you getting on with the Kewtech tester ?
Really like it mate, easy to use and doesn’t give me false codes
Bro you ever worried about asbestos working in old houses? I think about it all the time.
Everything gets tested before hand, mate
It’s a requirement I asked customers to do before taking on any project of this age
Big hands...Happy wife
Happy Adam’s mom
is that a matt armstrong t shirt then?
Yes mate
What do you think about covering cables? capping etc? This debate goes on and on. I dont use it unless theres a specific reason
I always use oval tube, and when someone hits a cable you will be hoping someone put something on the cables to save hacking the whole wall out.

Could you have used ho7?

Seems weird to use PVA diluted with water when there is a special primer for plaster, it's not more expensive either...
True but I’m not a plasterer mate, only doing what I’ve been show in the past 👍
@@NBundyElectrical Yeah, it's interesting to see. In Lithuania electricians put in the boxes, plasterers usually don't do it.

I've never PVA'd my chases, and the 'bonding' never falls out! And sorry pal........but that making good is rough!
Might be rough but it’s getting skimmed over
At least I tried
@@NBundyElectrical Fair enough…👍
Why do you wear those bloody great boots
Better than Adams sliders 😂
Because it makes me look cool
Why do electricians insist on doing the making good plastering?! I just don’t get it
He explains in the vid.
Beard Transplant update?
Filming it in a few weeks mate 👍
@@NBundyElectrical Glad to hear it 👍
TIN TIN .. don’t even mention MA your not worthy
lol why can’t I be a MA fan?
