Congratulations this is the best video iv seen for ages no sponsor speak no discount code just good old fashioned sparky work.
40-50 years time, some young spark is going to love you for that conduit.
You’ve just made him a good profit on his rewire 😁
not if they decide to renovate the house an move walls build extensions on the place, they may even decide in a few years to tear the place down an rebuild, real shame sometimes when they favour building new houses instead of ( if possible ) save the older houses ....
You're genius. I just watched you again on this video. People don't realise how hard it is to keep the camera rolling on a job like this and keep to time. You do it brilliantly, thanks.
Thanks mate. Its the editing which kills me.
@@MyTrustedElectrician Yes, it holds me up too. Just spent about 3 hours this evening on the new video. Cutting out all my "um"s. Then got bored of it and just speeded the footage up by 1.25!! I have so many snags with my set up, the most annoying being losing lip synch quite randomly and often.
Top notch Luke, keep em coming... I'm sure I don't need to tell you but remember to provide two separate 13A single socket-outlets for the WM and DW, I came across a job where the installer had fitted one 13A double socket-outlet both the WM and DW. He/she obviously couldn't see a problem with it, two appliances two sockets 😂😂😂
I didn't know this. Thanks mate.
Great vid Luke shows us non sparks the thought process to you craft and some appreciation what it is like to go to a job and work out how its wired up. Tommy reminds me of one of those poor sods they stuck a uniform on back in 1914 and threw on the front line.
Poor tommy
I remember looking deceased as an apprentice.
me too
I always use 48mm KO boxes and I've used conduit in the wall a lot too. The only thing I can see against it is where the leaf is only 100mm thick, cos theoretically according to building regs you're only allowed 1/3 depth in the leaf as a chase. Thanks for the video.
1/3 vertically 1/6 horizontal
You must really love chasing if you always fit 48mm KO boxes 😯
@@ashmanelectricalservices4318 I'm feeling a bit battered from some quite justified slagging off of some not very neat job I did in a basement in the comments of my latest video. Do I love chasing? Yes I quite enjoy it, I've got the metabo kit that Nick Bundy had for free. Having said that last summer I got the most horrendous hard engineering bricks in this bungalow kitchen, which was a total ball ache and caused some real wear and tear on my tooling.
@@johnbrain6790 I've been reading part-A of the building regs and struggling to find these measurements. Can you let me know where you found them as it would prove really handy for future reference material mate. Cheers ears.
T/E in conduit was always a big No No when I was a lad...... but I love it, protects cables and future proof for rewire 👍 nice one 🤓
No harm here as it's all straight runs, no bends and as you said, makes it easier for rewires, additions or alterations.
For long screws and deep holes, I use 'cut to length' plugs which come in 300mm lengths (Blue, Green, White and Red for different hole/screw sizes). They are also more robust than normal brown or red plugs.
Conduit in the chases - nice touch.
Great job and great video Luke and Tommy! This had bits of everything in it, something for everyone. I love that consumer unit install and have done it a few times myself. 👍
I see this kind of property and say to myself "Oofftt, J Beck would have a field day." 😉
try using a spray bottle with water before sweeping up any rubble etc to help keep the dust down ...
Good shout
Brilliant video Luke, full of information and also explaining about the mistakes. Super stuff ! 👍
Nice to see round conduit. Proper job.
Great video, please keep the updates coming. Your apprentice looks like a good lad and hard-working.
#TeamAwesome Great work mate, nice to see that you are only human and don’t mind showing your mistakes. We all do it and it’s great for others to see that 😎👌🏽
Nice video luke as always!, nice to see tommy getting stuck in.
Just found your vids - cracking!!! - great work and appreciate the time you must spend making and editing these - keep up the good work and keep teaching the Lad - he's lucky to have a good Boss - Cheers
Great video. I normally have the downlights 650mm off the wall above kitchen units
Nice to see those cables going vertical not like some other electricians on here .
Cracking video. I’m a plumber, love your vids. Tommy is a lucky lad. Amazed to see sparkys with a brush 😂👍
Trial & error ? Your not a car mechanic- use a meter🤗🤗 Tommy has a good teacher knowing when to use old tricks(my dad taught me cable measure 65 years ago in yards) and mark lines so you can plan layout . As a homeowner I wish it was all in conduit for changes without destroying decor. I would have complete rewire but cant totally redecorate.
From hence forth I shall be a 'Double Plugger' ... great tip
am looking to get into electrics again worked on the rail but not like this so this is amazing stuff
You don’t get “into electrics”. You “get qualified” before you kill someone
Brilliant video. Thank you.
Can you not bring the main supply though the back or does it have to go through the gland
Happy New Year Guys 🥳 Really great vlog, throughly enjoyed it, perfect length, loved the snip it’s 😁
thats a great first fix . that capping rubish makes for a poor install . the conduit in the wall is a top job .
Great idea doing the trunking behind the consumer unit.
What sizes do you use, and what make?
Electrical Testing Contractors
Good Old Days !!!
Nice work as always, or as you would say pukka
Your apprentice needs some vitamin D supplements I think
Ha Ha Ha - he probably knows but doesn't give a monkeys.
Keen to learn and become better he is no doubt.
I think he just lives in the UK...most of his work is indoors ......Casper be a good name for him....
Hi, excellent video!
Quick question: I am having a periodical electrical checks done by my local council. I have some heavy furniture with lots of stuff covering some sockets which will be a pain in the proverbial to move around: Two of the sockets are permanently off and the other two sockets have extension cables running behind the furniture. Will I need to remove to furniture to access the sockets I use, or can you do a test just using the sockets on extension cables? Thanks
If it’s done properly then yes, they will need access to every single socket in the property.
However as it’s being conducted by your council I highly doubt they will do it properly and will probably only need to access one socket on each circuit. Source: I sub-contract a council and sometimes have to smash out 4-5 EICRs a day..
Nice work
Good
Hiw nuch u charge a day where do u get work
Hi what was that you were doing @30.40? Any tutorials?
No idea. That was my stunt double, hence why his face was out of shot.
@@MyTrustedElectrician ahhh understandable. Good double!
Luke, at 08:05, what size is the trunking you're using to run the cables to the consumer? Does that oval cut hole in the trunking lid come already cut or did you cut it yourself?
50/100mm. The hole was cut by hand mate.
@@MyTrustedElectrician Thanks bud!!
Keep up the videos they're great!
why not rewire the place, just as quick and a lot safer
The customer wants to sell. The cost of sparkying would likely not be much more to rewire the gaff but they want to avoid the excessive decorating.
I prefer this guy to tom nagy who is arrogant and believes his own hype
This guy is down to earth and it is what it is
Nagy won't be back to work yet after xmas lol
I remember putting my hands in my pockets as an apprentice..... The fucker cut my pockets off my trousers wi a stanley.
😅😅😅
Tommy would make a great undertaker
I know it’s annoying but keep wearing masks with all that chasing and that dust in the air it can’t be good for you or Tommy. Btw well done for taking care of Tommy patience is the key make it so he feels comfort asking dumb questions often you will realize as you did here that doing something one way is not the only way or the best way. Thanks for the content.
Is your apprentice in college now or has he finished his course
🤔 Owner should have demolished whole house. Grest education
21:46 Thomas Nagy's grandad!
😅
Nearly threw up on my self when you showed those MK RCBO's . Utterly unacceptable to show such filth on a family focused platform shame on you next time try Hager or BG
