Its so good to see confident young professionals (you Cory) in the system who push the boundaries to do their best work. So well deserved Cory and good luck in your new location and wedding 👌
Great episode Cory. Good for you, doing what you want, when you want, where you want. Bournemouth will have loads of houses in need of bringing up to a more modern spec, and older customers that are wary of kitchen fitter sparks. Once the word goes out how meticulous and honest your work is, you’ll have a full diary in a few months. All the best, Ian
I love that magic trick when you tapped the fuse out!n😅😂. Stupidly of UK installations without mandatory isolation switches makes electricians resort to magic tricks 😢
3:17 its amazing , all the elctrical switchgear crammed in that tiny space filled with rubbish and household utilities. Were are the 80cm mandatory clearence between frontline and the opposite wall? How you can do a proper job in that space?
from that camera angle it certainly looks like its not connected. there only using a 2 way wago connector one cable from the swa and one cable from the charger.
No, it doesn't look like it is connected, but it would depend on the PEN fault arrangement as having the armour of the cable earthed at both ends would potentially bypass it.
Great work Cory. Many congratulations on your forthcoming wedding, she's a lucky girl.🍾🥂 I admire so much the fact that you happily just up sticks and make a change without any hesitation. Good luck with the new location, I'm sure you'll do well wherever you go on word of mouth alone..👍
Given the increased loading being seen on domestic properties, due to the installation of EV chargers, solar and heat pumps etc, it is likely that burnout connections will become more common place. Working in industrial, it is already a fairly common fault to find as the higher currents tend to expose them better.
Congrats on the move Cory, you'll be fine ! Just had a thought, I hope Ted finds his feet, he looked up to you and you gave him his start. He was probably gutted when you moved on. Great little apprentice.
We're moving into a place that had a fire in the kitchen, this was after we had put an offer in and the previous owner had it all "sorted" via her insurer, new kitchen, full repaint and new carpets throughout. Now imagine my surprise when it turns out that the kitchen circuit (just a 20A radial for everything including an electric oven) trips the RCD. Taking the cover off the distribution board shows a fair bit of smoke residue on everything, and really is something that should have been replaced as a just in case. Turns out there is a fault between the cable that comes from the distro to the kitchen and the sparky we got in cannot fathom where all the cabling is going (for example if you power up the circuit from the one side that will not trip the RCD you get the sockets that side plus the utility room working but not the cooker hood that's on that side). Ended up with the old feed from the distro being ignored and it being wired as 3 16A radials, left, right + utility and oven. There was also a mess of round junction boxes behind the oven unit and the kitchen sockets have been fitted fairly ham-fistedly, with filler/silicone used to fill the gaps between the socket and the tiles. Also interesting is that the utility room had sockets for a washing machine/tumble dryer yet it has a shower, that got replaced with a couple of switched/fused spurs. Also interesting is despite it being a radial there are two sets of 2.5mm feeding the outlets in the utility, though it's unknown what the other one is for as there is nothing else we can see that it feeds.
Looks to me like that terminal was left completely undone. That’s one thing that frightens me, I check everything 3-4 times and even then it bothers me that I might have forgotten one.
I pull on every single wire after triple-checking all the screws. That way you can spot wires that slipped behind the terminals, I've had that happen with some brands of MCBs. You can tighten the screw all you want, the wire will still be loose. Many years ago I briefly checked a mate's 1970s electrics in Prague and found a wire in one of the MCBs that was completely loose, clearly the screw had never been tightened. Fortunately it was on the least dangerous circuit, there was (no kidding) a dedicated 10A circuit for the bathroom extractor fan and it was this wire that hadn't been connected properly. All the other connections were reasonably tight, even though the lighting circuits were partly 2.5 mm2 aluminium.
Great VId. Looks like they might have put the neutral on the wrong side of the cable clamp, common enough especially with busbars, but your right 7Kw constantly will burn out the weak joint in weeks or months for sure.
Reckon you're doing the right thing Cory. When you're building a life together it's easy to focus on "sensible" career moves but in my view lifestyle is everything. We recently moved so we could be by the sea. I'm about twice your age and I wish I'd done this a loooong time ago.
Cory its absolutely awesome to see a fellow trademan taking so much pride in the work they undertake! There will always be people who think they are capable of doing a job in all trades, these people are truly dangerous! So to all those that are looking for trademen and women please get references and don't always go for the cheapest quote.
Bad place to pause 🤣. Respect the move man its something ive considered for a while. Definitely will be far happier as a result im sure + contracts on the wedding!
Hey Cory, welcome to the south coast. Your do well in the area as your work is 1st class. Hope you invited Jordan etc to the wedding evening lol. Good luck for the day and the new adventure. Good surf around too when windy.
I think they have large circuit boards in Europe as they use radials which are 16amp at the breaker because a lot of their plugs have no fuses as we do in the UK.... I may be wrong, i'm a joiner, but that is how i understand it. I go to sweden and they sometimed tell me not to put the toaster and kettle into sockets next to each other, or not turn them both on at the same time 😮 otherwise it trips the breaker..... No such issues in the UK.
You will do well in Bournemouth. Nice place to live! Blue rinse brigade there lol. Coastline around there is lovely. Fair bit of money!! Get down sandbanks.
Great video! I also hate them tail clamps! We’ve had to start installing fire suspensions strips in Matt:E and EV boards due to too many poor installs after having fire in Matt:E box overnight.
Great video Oh no 😮so many issues there Cory 😢 thats one crispy install 😂 Them line taps are for aluminium lines dno overhead line taps big no no for using on copper tails been covered on efix while back
nice move cory! 😊 you'll look back in a few months and it'll be like... god! i had such a quiet landing here, now im like busy beyond heck! 😊 thats bril! now off to the surf!! 😂😂😂
I'm a gas engineer for a large company (British Gas). The number of emergency call outs I get regarding cowboys in the trade is horrifying. I attended a job one time where a bloke had not bothered to secure the boiler to the wall. He had simply covered the back with grip fill and pushed it against the wall. When I got there it had begun to peel of the wall and the main gas line leading to the boiler and almost pulled out causing a nasty leak. The boilers are supplied with a mounting kit which my 6 year old could install.
We moved from Bucks to Dorset last year and we are loving being walking distance to the sea. We are renovating and extending a property that currently still has its original wire fuse board from 1970, as you would expect we have found some very poor additions over the decades. We will be going for a full rewire, adding Loxone and hopefully solar and battery.
Good lad for moving to my hometown! Couldn’t have moved to a nicer coast line. Enjoy the lifestyle and Bournemouth! Any local advice/tips gimme a shout 🥳
Many people no longer take the time to check their installation properly and that's what annoys me the most in this job. Our profession is one of the most dangerous in the world and can have immense repercussions on the lives of many people. Fire, electrocution,... so many things that can be easily avoided just by testing properly. All this just to save more time, money by playing with customers' lives. They make me hate my work 🤮
Seems very common among EV and PV installers seen some alterations to the incoming supply that although I think it's too easy to pick fault with other peoples work just had to make the client aware of my professional opinion, great work Cory as always, good luck,
Hey Corey! I’m just down the road in Southampton! So if you need a work contact get in touch! Fellow spark here, albeit boring domestic construction 🤩 you won’t regret being by the sea! Life is great
Great stuff. I don't think you'll have a problem and good luck to both. With in reason its better to regret something you have done rather than not done. If you have a non bs RCD protection in the charger which I'm lead to believe is the case, but one upstream what is the point of testing it. Possibly the PEN fault protection is the important part of the charger.
Keep up the banter. Cheers from Holland. I mean The Netherlands, Eh Kingdom of The Netherlands of course (sorry Caribbean fellow countrymen). Norway sounds pretty good to me; lot's of (former Dutch) friends there (Bergen and Trøndelag area). Cheers, J@n!
Fantastic video, great stuff. It’s bad enough bodgers installing EV chargers as DIY, but when it’s a professional job a customer has paid good money for, that’s a magnitude worse.
The annoying thing about this kind of work is that they get away with it time and time again without being held accountable. It's the British way to let them carry on and just pay someone else to rectify it.
That's bad work. I'm no expert electrician, but..... through the years, I've done electrical work on people's houses and never nearly set fire to someone's house through bad workmanship. I even got a bollocking for doing some electrical work on my flat even though the company that took the storage heaters out said the job was done better and tidier than their own electritions, lol. 😅😅. Well done, Cory saved the day.
Lovely ukulele playing,good work also , noticed the cable cleats are upside down, the fuse box rcbo, is it DP ? Wishing you and your Norwegian partner a long & happy future together.
I like that we have nationwide wholesalers in Finland, like Sonepar, Onninen, Rexel and Ahlsell. So if I'm working 300km from home I can just go to a local Onninen and pick up stuff I need and at the same price as my local shop since it is one big supplier
Nice work removing that rather haphazard installation, and making it good! Also, all the best for your wedding (although, its probably already happened by now), and hopefully you'll build a client and supplier relationship quickly in the new area.
A lot of people don’t understand when working on 10mm cable size or above it has to be moved around and then torqued down I always find main isolators and meters are fitted by people that don’t really understand the industry or the material they are working with😮
Congrats on your move! Have followed you over on the other channel full of artisans. Hope everything works out over there. If you like Karaoke there is plenty of choice!
Nice vid Cory, glad to see you down here. Could be looking for a garage power and lighting upgrade soon if you'll come over my way, ust past Southampton.
Would it be worth going through the steps about getting the dno to come out and check/upgrade the main fuse? Just had a new board fitted and found out that the 100a service I thought I had was actually only a 60a 🤷 Thanks And good luck with your move to the coast 👍
Great content Cory , Show this type of jobs & how dangerous it could have been and it not Something I could ever do . highlighting this on RUclips is spot on and Explaining this . l have lot to learn and it doesn’t help that some electricians are do this . they don’t care of the consequences., And all the best on your Big Day !! And could you do a in-depth video on your MILWAUKEE set up packout Storage,and tools , Thanks ⚡️👊
Also cory potential issue with the choice of that fusebox RCBO is that it isn't a double pole switching, you need the miniature versions for double pole.
If I remember correctly, the miniature is as you say 2-pole switching, but is only RCBO protection on the "L". I think you can get a version that has protection on both L & N.... But forgotten where!!
Outstanding video. The ‘Big red flag’ finished me 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"more crispy than a ginger at the beach" - OMG!! I nearly pissed myself!!
Its so good to see confident young professionals (you Cory) in the system who push the boundaries to do their best work. So well deserved Cory and good luck in your new location and wedding 👌
A very healthy reminder of why one should take great care when terminating connections. Yet an amazing ØY episode!
Thanks very much! 😁
Great episode Cory. Good for you, doing what you want, when you want, where you want.

Hats off to you for having the bottle to up sticks when you have a network in Cambridge. You'll be back up to the same level again in no time!
I love that magic trick when you tapped the fuse out!n😅😂. Stupidly of UK installations without mandatory isolation switches makes electricians resort to magic tricks 😢
3:17 its amazing , all the elctrical switchgear crammed in that tiny space filled with rubbish and household utilities. Were are the 80cm mandatory clearence between frontline and the opposite wall? How you can do a proper job in that space?
Your videos have been motivating me to do my own electrical business in the future!
That’s great to hear bud!
Good on you for not reusing those awful splices! A lot of people would just to save money. I'm glad you realize that some things are more important.
Great job and top banter as always! Good luck on the new start!
Flippin' brilliant as usual mate. This sort of honesty & integrity is what our industry needs 👊
Isn't the SWA earth not connected at 7:00? I mean there is a ring connector and a bit of green/yellow wire but is the other end connected anywhere?
from that camera angle it certainly looks like its not connected. there only using a 2 way wago connector one cable from the swa and one cable from the charger.
I just noticed this too, the SWA isn’t bonded at that point.
No, it doesn't look like it is connected, but it would depend on the PEN fault arrangement as having the armour of the cable earthed at both ends would potentially bypass it.
@@three-phase562 thinking about it. he installed a new cu so if the armored cable is glanded to the cu it will be earthed.
Great work Cory. Many congratulations on your forthcoming wedding, she's a lucky girl.🍾🥂

I love the UK braker boxes, the metal ones. They are very good in case of melting brakers or bad contacts

All the best Cory. I grew up in Weymouth.
It's a shame that the old tramway tracks in Weymouth got lifted last year. It must have been about 20 years since a proper train ran over them
Hey Cory, welcome to the south coast. Your do well in the area as your work is 1st class. Hope you invited Jordan etc to the wedding evening lol. Good luck for the day and the new adventure. Good surf around too when windy.
Love Bournemouth and Poole. Good on ya fella! Get ready to enjoy the summer! Fancy a beer or two in September when I’m down?
Cheers man! DM me and if I’m about sounds cool!

Isnt that rcbo in that fuse box you've installed single pole. It's only the compact rcbo form fuse box that are double pole.
Great stuff. I don't think you'll have a problem and good luck to both. With in reason its better to regret something you have done rather than not done.

Hey Cory, you should start uploading some RUclips shorts. You deserve more recognition as you are the best electrical channel on here! ❤
Great job love the work you do. Well done for fixing such a shabby job.
Why isn't it mandatory for the DNO to install an isolator whenever they do any work on an install that doesn't yet have one?
Welcome to the South coast, you'll find a great music scene down here.
You could have put in an isolator during the fuse pulled period?
Good luck and best wishes for the new business in Bournemouth
Thank you Peter! 😄👍

Another excellent vid, Cory - scary how bad they previous install was, esp given they charged top whack for it! Congrats in advance of the wedding! 🎉
Congratulations on escaping Cambridge!
He just couldn't compete with Artisan! 😂
Fantastic video, great stuff. It’s bad enough bodgers installing EV chargers as DIY, but when it’s a professional job a customer has paid good money for, that’s a magnitude worse.

Welcome to Bournemouth mate! As a fellow electrician of 30 years, I welcome you to our area.
Thanks for that!
Ive never seen that type of tails tap in connection before..
Do we not use henley blocks anymore?

If you ever want to visit further south in Cornwall I live in Launceston, would be awesome to meet you as a fellow electrician 😎
Hats off to you Cory is dose not matter where you are in the country you always do the Best job and congratulations on getting married in two weeks.

What a shocker! Great vid
Great correction of some appalling work. Good stuff.
Just realised you can see the installers installation label in the top left hand corner of the door.
A lot of people don’t understand when working on 10mm cable size or above it has to be moved around and then torqued down
I always find main isolators and meters are fitted by people that don’t really understand the industry or the material they are working with😮
Need to fit a miniature Rcbo I’d going fuse box as it need to be double pole ?
I'm in a new build have done tiling in the kitchen and loosen off the sockets and the wires just popped out
😬
Congrats on your move! Have followed you over on the other channel full of artisans. Hope everything works out over there. If you like Karaoke there is plenty of choice!
Just found your music gotta say defo someone I’ll listen to frequently 👍
Flott video som vanlig :) og gratulerer! håper dere får et fint bryllup! 🎊🎊
I can confirm Cory that you’ve definitely said NOOTRUL correctly there thanks for the translation.
Could have ended badly that! nice work mate as always
15:44 I love your silly humour just as much as I love your witty one!
Nice vid Cory, glad to see you down here. Could be looking for a garage power and lighting upgrade soon if you'll come over my way, ust past Southampton.
Sounds great! Ping me an email when you need it :))
Excellent job/ video, best of luck in your new home, bet you’re just as good playing guitar as you are an electrician 🎸👏👏👏.
Thanks so much! Means a lot 😄🙏
Bournemouth was nice.. 20 years ago!
Would it be worth going through the steps about getting the dno to come out and check/upgrade the main fuse?
Just had a new board fitted and found out that the 100a service I thought I had was actually only a 60a 🤷
Thanks
And good luck with your move to the coast 👍
Really interesting. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Freedom or Money?
I'll take free money 😂
All the best Cory. No doubt you'll make a big success of the move.
😂 I didn’t think of that! Genius
All the best mate for both work and more importantly with the wedding I am sure you will smash it on both counts.
Thanks so much 🙏🙏😄
You do seem like a coast type of guy. Its the chilled outlook you have. 🌊😎🛹
Cory those frogs being so high and mighty forget all those old homes that have small electric cupboards with the gas mains right below it
😭👍🏼
Awesome to hear your in Bournemouth, maybe see you in the wholesalers one day 😂
Nice Job 😄👍
I was just wondering do you have to use a Rcbo that switches off the live & neutral on a car charger installation?
Great content Cory , Show this type of jobs & how dangerous it could have been and it not Something I could ever do . highlighting this on RUclips is spot on and Explaining this .
l have lot to learn and it doesn’t help that some electricians are do this . they don’t care of the consequences.,
And all the best on your Big Day !! And could you do a in-depth video on your MILWAUKEE set up packout Storage,and tools , Thanks ⚡️👊
I am pretty sure those Wago 221 push fit connectors are only rated for 21 amps maximum not 40 amps.
Don’t just say it
Do it!
💯
At 7 minutes what was that loose grey wire in the black box?
Does the RCBO not need to be be double pole? I thought Fusebox only did mini double pole RCBOs? Great content as always! Cheers
Correct chap the ‘talls’ are SP
In a way it’s a testament to the safety regs imparted to the manufacturers that this didn’t end up being way worse.
Good point
Arent those tall fusebox rcbos single pole ?
Also cory potential issue with the choice of that fusebox RCBO is that it isn't a double pole switching, you need the miniature versions for double pole.
Main switch is double pole so it’s fine
If I remember correctly, the miniature is as you say 2-pole switching, but is only RCBO protection on the "L". I think you can get a version that has protection on both L & N.... But forgotten where!!
Is that Jack Johnson seasick dream I hear? great video as always
Good ear!
Congrats on the up-coming event and im sure she's a lovely lady.
Is that just a double pole mcb as well?
