Terminating Kitchen sockets and Electrical Testing

In this episode: Luke and Tommy 2nd-fix a newly fitted and refurbished kitchen. 

The plasterers have created more work and so last minute, unplanned rewiring of the lounge sockets are rushed before the end of the day.

The kitchen ring circuit is tested and commissioned.

In this episode: Luke and Tommy carry-out fault finding and remedial work as per a recent EICR.

They begin work on a new kitchen. The first stages of rewiring is referred to as the 'first-fix'.

There are also a few mistakes which Luke admits too at the end of the video.

In this episode: I install power and a wirelessly switched lighting to a Shed and pergola.  

The installation will consist of a number of LED fixtures and a few rarely used double socket outlets.   

The switching will be wireless to reduce the amount of cable, damage, making-good and labour of the overall installation cost. 

In this episode: I install cabling, sockets and lights to a Shed. 

The installation will consist of a number of LED fixtures and a few rarely used double socket outlets.

In this episode: I attempt to core 6x 100mm holes without causing any dust in a customer home.  

In this episode: I install power and lighting to a new shed. A new consumer unit was installed within the house to supply the new 'shed' circuit.

In this episode: I install a handful of external lights via Galv Steel Conduit. The lighting will illuminate the external communal area of a block of flats. 

In this episode: You will see me core a 100mm hole for the new toilet and install an extractor fan. I also carry out a few electrical tests. 

Here's the 2nd fixing stage of my previous kitchen rewire video. 

Here you will see your Carshalton electrician terminating sockets and installing downlights.

I carried out another kitchen rewire in Coulsdon recently and here is the video :)

I was also very fortunate to be invited up to Tresham college to meet the GSH Electrical youtube gang and their Electrical Learners. 

This video is aimed at anyone coming into the industry. 

I know how scary it is trying to know what tools you need to invest your wages into in order to survive another week. I've gone though all the tools in my day bag and a brief example of what I use them for :)

Today I had the privilege of meeting the GSH Electrical team at Tresham College.

Here's some casual chat between us.

There are some amazing products available now in terms of switching your lighting on/off.

In this video I try the new Quinetic range of wireless/WIFI light switches.

Every garden needs a socket to mow the lawn and in this video you'll see me installing one. I also add some power for a water feature and some decor lighting outside the garage.

A rewire can sound like a pretty scary job from a customers perspective. I have made a video of the messy stage of a rewire (a first fix) so that you can understand what is involved :)

In this video I install additional sockets in a launderette using PVC trunking.

Due to the high demand of fire safety I have use metal cable grips within the trunking so in the event of a fire the cable will remain attached to the wall.

There's not many electrician's who will take on an occupied rewire.

Here's a video diary of my latest project.

Need a more convenient way of charging your phone, tablet or laptop at the breakfast table?

A USB socket may be a sufficient solution. 

Here's a short video of me installing a couple of sockets within a kitchen island unit. 

If you have ever considered upgrading that old fuse board under the stairs then watch this!

Here's a little video I took of myself replacing an existing fuse board with a new 17th edition amendment 3 equivalent.

a tidy little Consumer Unit installation.

An OCD sufferers dream come true.

I've always believed the consumer unit to be the mothership of any electrical installation. It can reveal a great deal about the rest of the premises' wiring installation
