Just a note on drilling through the corner. I'd try and keep it within the outer brick leaf and cavity zone, so a little closer to the corner. Otherwise you run the risk of breaching the inner waterproofing layer. As you noticed, this house appears to be timber frame with a brick facade. Behind the brick there will likely be a 50mm cavity then breather membrane on OSB board. Lovely neat install.
Your work is looking fantastically better on every job, Nick. Keep it up mate, also you need to raise your prices; if people are going to get this level of service. Thanks for sharing with us.
Great video! Powerwall 3 supply cable can be 16mm+ data and 12v 1.5 if customer wants the full 11.04kw discharge. Between the gateway and the location of the powerwall
hi nick, i have been watching you for years im currently a welder but ou have inspired me to go in to electrics so i have payed for a corse to do my electrics and i cant wait !
From the external brickwork, it looks like there is a big space under the floor. Much neater to run them under the floor. My pet hate is cables tacked on to the outside of buildings!
I live in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire. We had a Net pond at junior school, used to have them all around our ponds so it’s weird when people say they’ve never seen a Newt cause we saw them daily😅
Are those cable mounts plastic, if so does a metal cable tie actually help as won't the mount melt in a fire in the same way a plastic cable tie could?
(Though in a loft when you're fixing to wooden rafters I think even plastic cable ties will likely outlast the wood anyway so you won't have any real risk of premature collapse!)
Looks good that, maybe consider putting up a fake drainpipe to hide the drop on the consumer unit side, any reason you didn't drill slightly higher up on the charger side and go rear entry into it to lose the visible cable underneath it?
Fall pipe removal is something I'd do on my own property, but not for customers. If it leaks or comes loose, you're going to get the grief. Nick, please wear a mask in the loft, other than the one you usually wear!!!!! Voiceover the video if needs be.
Good work on the cables. Having lived with an EV and a solar/battery for awhile, I'd be very hesitant to recommend installing EV chargers into the main consumer unit for the house. I can see why you'd so it from an installation perspective, it looks great and is very neat. However, 'Smart' tariffs like Octopus Intelligent Go and Ovo Anytime make this really problematic as they can charge the car at any time and it make dealing with batteries a pain in the proverbial as the battery sees the load and fills it which is not what you want. Ideally you would want to also charge the battery at the same time on the Octopus tariff as all your electricity is 7p/kwh when the car is charging. As the car can charge at random times of the day, you cant manually schedule it as Octopus changes it dynamically. I'd always recommend people have them installed so the battery system is not covering the EV charger. For the Powerwall, that means wiring it between the meter and the gateway so it can't see the load which can be messy. There are software workarounds but they are complex and not for 'normal people' who just want it to work. The main option is home automation software called Home Assistant which is free and open source but you have to host it yourself and not all equipment has integrations. You can set it to monitor the charger and adjust the battery settings automatically (e.g. to charge when eh car charges). Some 3rd party services that can also do this over the internet with some equipment but its usually a paid subscription (yuck). P.S. Powerwall 3 can draw up to 11kw so you'll need a bigger cable than 6mm.
Superb, tidy and aesthetically pleasing job!👍🏻 If only all tradesmen adopted the same pride you put into your work! I just wish you covered the area where I live.
Inside the garage or rear garden would be my preference for powerwall location. You can add a camera in any location easy enough, and surely the rear garden will be fully fenced off and thus more secure than on show on the driveway?
The guy at 5:20 top left window hiding from the camera 😂😂😂😂

The meds are doing you wonders, would love an update since you started from a fellow electrician with adhd
Had no idea he was on meds but he’s looking good. What’s he on? And is it a recent diagnosis
Surely these companies should be putting in the cable for EV at build stage
And future proofing the property
I thought the same mate
Great video! Powerwall 3 supply cable can be 16mm+ data and 12v 1.5 if customer wants the full 11.04kw discharge. Between the gateway and the location of the powerwall
The green" insulation " are called Fire Socks. They're meant to prevent the spread of smoke and fire in the cavity
Hi Nick, thanks for making this video and many of us do care about nature. Have a great Christmas break
Very neat work.👌
The most important thing you did was get to the football for your daughter. They grow up very quickly so make the most of it..👍🏻
hi nick, i have been watching you for years im currently a welder but ou have inspired me to go in to electrics so i have payed for a corse to do my electrics and i cant wait !
That is awesome!
Cracking job there Nick...
Excellent shot with the angle drilling. 😊
That's very neat and good angle drilling! 👌👌
Nicholas my brother in Christ please wear a mask in the attic!!
VERY Nice Job Nick, ~You put Artesan to shame with your Precision Angle Drilling
Not watched you for a few months, ur looking good, very slim
From the external brickwork, it looks like there is a big space under the floor. Much neater to run them under the floor. My pet hate is cables tacked on to the outside of buildings!
Nick… super tidy job again. Wow drilling that from both sides and at the correct angle.👍👍🙈
Great Video, very neat. Was you on Top gear yesterday BBC3?
I was lol

Same as a metal clip in some plastic trunking, screwed to the wall with a “red” plastic wall plug.
By the drain pipe work you've done you've added plumber to your electrician and plasterer skills! 😂
Looks good that, maybe consider putting up a fake drainpipe to hide the drop on the consumer unit side, any reason you didn't drill slightly higher up on the charger side and go rear entry into it to lose the visible cable underneath it?
Why not just use No.6 or No.7 cable cleats to fix the Ultra-EV cable in the loft?
Brilliant job, so neat.
Nick you have to admit the Milwaukee m12 over the m18 just works size weight an not far behind a m18 on performance
Great job.
Good job as usual, what's the extension your using in the 12v drills?
Hi mate I love your videos and you do a great job please do not keep hammering raw plugs in with your drill batteries use a hammer please my friend
Yes, damaged batteries can cause fires!
Nice new build boot wash in the drive way
Crackin work dude
I actually emailed through your website, desperately need my DB moving and an EV charger installing.
Fall pipe removal is something I'd do on my own property, but not for customers. If it leaks or comes loose, you're going to get the grief.
Nick, please wear a mask in the loft, other than the one you usually wear!!!!! Voiceover the video if needs be.
0:15 a 'new' estate, where apparently they recruited some OAP's with Parkinson's to do the cement work on the ridges 🙄
Roof looks like its made of scrap wood. 😱
Nice ladders mate
Why would you put a drip loop in one side and not the other or just not put one in?
Brand new property and a split load board - must have cost developer all of £60. Sale price of house?
You can spot penny pinching all over that house.

beautiful property
What model of Little Giant ladder is that please?
Pointless putting metal ties in plastic mounts. 😂
That house has no soffit boards or insect protection 😮 There is absolutely zero chance that would pass Scottish building regulations.
And surely it won't even stop squirrels or anything to get inside?! 🤦🏻♂
It doesn't need to as it isn't in Scotland!

Split load board in a new property. Madness
Alright Nick, thinking about buying a Spit gun but you still used plug and screws on this job, do you think it's a good investment?
Inside the garage or rear garden would be my preference for powerwall location. You can add a camera in any location easy enough, and surely the rear garden will be fully fenced off and thus more secure than on show on the driveway?
The volume on this video is so poor! My volume is super high then makes me jump when an advert suddenly comes on lol
Ever notice , when you,re standing , thinking some people assume , you dont know what you,re doing....? / few options at the drilled corner
I think it’s time you ditched the camera magnet holders . Is it 3 you’ve lost now ? 😂
Great job but Houses today look SO UGLY and no windows.
Can we have a van tour
Audio is a bit low.
Your work is outstanding very inprest with that hole
Boot situation is terrible
How do you mean
It's a shame you can't hide the ugly drainpipes! 😂
Buy a hammer for goods sake.
First view and comment 🤩
I never understand why people support electric car which very bad effects make live delay and make some people big business man !!
Wtf?
