Chances are those double surface sockets are actually extended singles! Strange it's had a board upgrade but not much else he been. Nice walkthrough Craig 👌.
I thought singles to start with but they are doubles. Yeah nothing to go with the board though which was odd. Appreciate you watching the video. Hope you got yourself a cuppa before you started to watch 🤣🤣
@@JBE lucky you - would have loved a GEL mug but not sure Craig would be happy sending it across the pond. Ah well will have to do with my Mr Messy mug.
Thanks for the video, most bungalows I check end up with a ton of insulation added on all the cables in the loft resulting in a 101 installation method for all or most circuits leading to a few cable rating and protection problems 😂 clipped direct would be a nice sight indeed.
C3 with all class 2 fittings and appropriate label on consumer unit but if any class 1 fittings it is C2. Just watched the video to the point regarding the lighting cpc, he as issued a FI (further investigation) required as he believes it’s a possible joint cpc problem as cpc present at all lighting points. In this case I would inform the customer and issue the customer with a danger notice if metal fittings aren’t earthed so until instructed by the customer to rectify the problem I wouldn’t need to do anything else.
Thanks for watching. As ice man has stated I did indeed code it as FI. Cpc’s are present at every switch and light fitting but only the metal lights actually have continuity back to the board. The rest of the accessories are all plastic but as I said there is a cpc in every fitting. I have advised the client accordingly, they have bought the property to live in rather than rent but have provided a quote to investigate and resolve.
@@GiffordsElectrical I think the CPCs even on the plastic scwitches need to to be continuous as you have the screws which are are connected to the back boxes.
@@daron8982 that’s why it’s an FI, it requires further investigation! There is obviously some break in the loft as all light fittings have a cpc as do the switches.

@@GiffordsElectrical I did indeed, I like a good walk through vlog.

Good video Craig, great for learners

This bungalow is practically untouched. All cables clipped to the top of the joists and the almost no insulation in sight. Thanks for watching Iceman
Great video. tHanks for sharing 😎
Excellent video, I had to pause for a second brew..... :)
Yeah it’s a long one. Thanks for sticking with it Peter
Beautiful
Great video
How did you code the non cpc's at the lighting points?

Your Facebook page link does not appear to be working Craig.
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. It should now be working.
Is the loft radial on a 32??
No that this is uncommon.
Just out of interest how come you link lines on the shower for IR but not cooker?

IR test first?
