Another great video as always. I liked the fact that this video was carried out and shown in a real life scenario, it helps to give people the idea of what it's really like to work in an occupied living space rather than working in the comfort of a workshop. Well done and thank you!
This video was very informative; as a non-electrician it's good to see how much testing and time goes into a 'simple' job. Often we consumers don't really understand why a quotation maybe so high, but watching this video really shows the importance of having a good competent person do the job!
Certainly also shows that having everything clear, tidy and all the cats tied up would help. Also a nice piece of gluten free cake and hot cup of tea probably helps a lot.
Nice tutorial video. Thanks for taking your time to show people what we do and come across in a day to day situation. Some customers think we have a magic wand In the back of our vans. 👍
Great video as always. Nice this time as well to see a 'real life' one. We all know that its more often like this than on your own! It was an electrician that came to my parents house when I was about 6 years old that sparked (pardon the pun) my interest in the trade all those years ago.
Good video Matt. Hopefully customers will watch this and see that even a simple job like adding a spur needs quite a bit of testing, there are various regulations that need to be considered, and there the practical aspects as to how wires are routed and fixed, and how accessories are fitted. Really pleased to see you used a spirit level to check that box was mounted level.
Great video Matt, it’s good to see you gaining more confidence in front of the camera. Also important to remember any electrical installation certificate weather it be major or minor, should only cover the work carried out by the electrician, there may have been a higher Zs reading for that particular circuit elsewhere but Matt’s work was focused at the low level double socket and the tv double socket, if there was a reverse polarity fault at another socket, the electrician could not be held accountable for this.
Hi. The video was over 2 hours and in the edit we miss out the pre test, dead testing, find the redundant spur etc. Thanks for your input and watching as always 👍 Gaz
Good work man 👍 I like how you care about things and that you do it correctly. Remember guys to tighten the screws very tightly without stripping the screw or strands. when it stops turning at medium force, then STOP. Loose connection can cause arcing & overheating & melt the socket & fires. Some people even recommend using ferrules for stranded wires, to not damage or strip the strands of the wire. From what I know that stranded are better to prevent the skin effect etc... BTW, I'm not electrician just a hobbyist.
And this is what a lot of diyers or non qualified don't understand or appreciate! there is much more involved than just simply connecting wires together and just because you get the circuit working does not necessarily mean its safe! Unfortunately with electricity you don't know its gone wrong until its too late ie someone dies or buildings burn down! Just leave electricity to the professionals who are properly qualified is the point i'm trying to make. Great video btw👍
In the kitchen, I have a standard double gang socket for kettle and toaster. The airing cupboard in the hallway on the other side of the kitchen wall, I have a washing machine. I would like to take power from the socket in kitchen, drill hole through wall into airing cupboard and wire a spur socket from the one in kitchen for the washing machine in airing cupboard. So basically, 1 washing machine on a single gang spur, kettle and toaster in kitchen from socket that is feeding the spur. Would this be ok please?? Thanks
Good helpful video ,domestic environment never as easy as class room .not a criticism but a bit off handy trick is to poly bag the socket front incase of brick dust into the switch on the socket ,No1 killer of switch is fine brick dust
Out of interest, if one wanted to come off a mains ring cable (by interrupting the cable) in order to add a few sockets as a radial spur, would one need to fit a FCU, and could that be a 13A FCU?
Can I ask about how many times in an average house ring can you safely fit spurs,i mean one on each double socket,assuming all the testing is safe ,could you put say 3/4 spurs if you need ed too,great tutorial thanks for video,
GSH Electrical I need 2 double sockets fitting in my loft for my cctv setup and a double socket installing in the corner of the main bedroom,,,,how much am I looking at and could you recommend anyone in the Manchester area 👍
Hi, do you know the two live tests, zs and Rcd, can they be done with equipment connected on the circuit or can this be damaging or provide a inaccurate reading. Thanks
so you just push three separate wire ends into the terminals on the ring socket, dont have to twist them together or anything? every video i've watched doesn't cover how exactly to ensure the three wires are all in one terminal. seems like you once you get to three wires you'd need to at least twist them together or something?
Another great video! just one question... the socket height doesn't comply with Part M, am I wrong in thinking that new additions should comply with current regs?
Hi. Is the work covered by building control? Is the installation going to be used by someone of limited reach? Is the room going to be used by someone of limited reach? There are other reasons why this install is correct... many thanks for commenting and watching GSH Electrical 🙌
Not questioning the work :) my tutor has always said to us that new additions should be within the 450mm and 1200mm so was just interested on your view of it. Mainly because I'll eventually put a high socket up for my TV and want to make sure its ok to do so.
Thanks for the video. I noticed that there were 3 line conductors in the original socket signifying a spur and you added a fourth. I thought that you could only take one spur off a socket (unless it is on a 13a fused spur)? Grateful for any advice or correction.
Hi. Matt shoot over 4 hours of footage and lots of it badly... the original spur was removed, it was traced out and cut off.... but this footage had kids and a dog in it and couldn’t be used. Only one spur was taken from the ring circuit and the original was removed before connecting the new one. Hope this help thanks for commenting and watching Gaz
My plug socket has no earth. Theres nothing plugged in to it but does that matter? Ive got to leave it untill tomorrow unitll i can earth it. I wont have a fire will i?
Gaz can you tell me in which situations you would use 3 lead low, 3 lead high, 2 lead low and 2 lead high? thank you! the videos are doing what my teacher hasnt lol
@@GSHElectrical thanks mate, i only ask because i've got my am2 soon and i've seen people do 2 lead high 3 lead low etc i guess i am overthinking everything :) appreciate your videos mate
Please can you help me I would really appreciate your advice as I’m stuck on what I should do. Can I connect both my fridge freezer and duel fuel cooker to a 13A switched fused spur on a double socket or would it overload it? Below I have taken the time to get all the technical spec for each appliance from the manuals American fridge freezer BEKO Pro ASDM241PX 230v voltage 50hz frequency 150w wattage 0.85A current The fridge freezer has a standard 1.5mm twin&earth cable with 13A plug on it Duel fuel cooker (gas cooker, electric oven) Kenwood CK305-1 230v voltage 50hz frequency 2270w wattage The duel fuel cooker has no cable or plug on it but the manual saying to add 1.5mm twin&earth cable to the feeder cable connection which is on the rear of the cooker and the other end Must be connected to a 13A switched fuse spur outlet. In my kitchen where I want to place both appliances I have few normal non spur sockets plus I have a 13A switched fused spur outlet that is connected to a single socket, I’m thinking to change that single to a double socket so I can add the cooker and fridge freezer to it or could I add just the cooker to that and just plug the freezer to a normal non spur/non fused spur socket? Hope this all makes sense...
Hi. One of the point in your kitchen should be for a cooker circuit possible controlled buy a red switch. Only this circuit would I connect this cooker to. Sorry without seeing the job it’s hard to advise I recommend you call an electrician all the best Gaz
Hi thank you for your reply, My kitchen does have a isolated cooker circuit switch with red light however I have been told it doesn’t need to be hardwired to that as it’s for powerful electric cooker upto 30a and has a 6mm twin&earth connected to it My new cooker only requires a 1.5mm twin & earth which Must be connected to a 13A spur socket Could you put a less powerful cooker like mine to a isolated 30A switch? Or would it exceed and overheat until it reaches 30a before blowing the fuse
Hi guys, in a ring circuit is it good practice to twist the conductors together prior to connecting up ? We were encouraged to do this when I started out ( 14th edition days) but have read conflicting comments on other forums.
Sometimes its worth using the softer plastic impact proof surface back box's intended for plastic conduit they can save you a lot of trouble are easy to drill good thing to have in the old van!
Great video as always. Just out of interest, when you did your dead tests after completion, do you test your r1+r2 from the existing socket to the new spur or from the c/u to the spur? Thanks
Hi. As it’s a ring final circuit Matt confirmed the circuit was a ring using this test ua-cam.com/video/nfevb8EzL1I/v-deo.html He recorded the spurred sockets R1 + R2 however we always we add way more details on our minor works than required. Zs value recorded was the one for the spurred socket outlet. Sorry we didn’t show everything the original footage was over 2 hours long. Thanks for watching and commenting GSH Electrical 👍
The R1+R2 reading would be taken at the low level double socket and the spurred double socket with the highest reading being recorded. The figure of 8 connections made at the consumer unit.
Hi I really enjoyed this video. Very professional. Can I ask where you are based please and if you have a website. I am looking for someone to do a few jobs in my home
Good vid. I'd like to think a lecturer knows how to count, made a couple of errors there lol. seriously, when installing the mini trunking did you fit the metal retainers (as per 18th edition) so the conductors don't fall off in the event of a fire?
Hi. This video was shot many months ago I have a backlog of 14 videos to release... the supports are covered in this UA-cam video ua-cam.com/video/LpFOtdmnyoc/v-deo.html Many thanks for your comments and watching 👍 GSH Electrical
Hidden warrior, the 18th edition doesn't come into force until January 1st 2019 so installers can still work to the 17th edition amendment 3 until then
Jake, I know the 18th doesn't come in until 2019. As part of the GSH Electrical team, they have decided to take the new changes into effect now. (as described in a previous video). A simple follow up visit with some SS fixings and job done.
I don't think metal retainers would be required in a cupboard regardless? Because the cables falling down in a cupboard would not really present a risk

Chewing out a 20mm knockout using a perfectly serviceable vde screwdriver and repeatedly smashing the end with a hammer was shocking to see! Other than that...Great video!
Good work. Shouldn’t the spur off the ring be a single socket only as potentially you could draw up to 26Amps off that 2.5mm cable. Unlikely but you never know.
I thought a socket had to be 450mm vertically from the floor.Is this the latest British standard,as this house ain’t new and was probably built to whatever standards existed at that time.
Good instructional video for showing a real life situation. Its only a shame that for all the effort put into the job, it all looked a very low quality installation overall. Surface power socket, surface TV point and cabling, externally mounted wooden board for TV bracket, all very basic. But if that is what the customer wants to pay for then thats all you have to work with. I would hate to do a job that way. Im sure you do as well.
The surface power socket is behind a TV. The surface TV point was already there. The Wooden board and bracket were already there. Did you watch the vid at all ?
Hi. As stated in the video text the socket had a redundant spur on it which Matt traced out and removed this footage was removed in the edit. The original video was over 2 hours long so I cut it down to less than 20 mins hence some stuff is missing. You cannot take multiple spurs form a sockets on a Ring Final Circuit unless you install a fuse connection unit (fuse spur). Sorry you missed this information in the video presentation thanks for commenting and watching GSH Electrical 👍
GSH Electrical it was in no way misleading gaz. It clearly stated that the old spur was removed. The fella who made the original comment obviously cant read 🤷🏻♂️ great videos keep it up!
@@GSHElectrical I work in a college too, so I see the benefit of 9f the working environment its in, away from the world of simulation and saying, 'imagine this', 'imagine that' etc... excellent clear explanations throughout, and I'm not a sparks.
@@HealthService or every Tom. Dickor Harry wanting to have a whack at anything they can and electrics isn't something a yone should be trying to dabble in when something as simple as a loose connection can cause a fire
Mark Keane you could say the same thing about most things, if someone wants to do it they will. diy jobs are often the worse things to test. But I doubt this video will make anyone go and rewire their house.
What it does do is arm us laymen with enough knowledge of his things should be done so as not to be conned by cowboy ‘electricians’. Looking at things that were done in my house by sparkies years ago, I wish I knew then what I know now thanks to these videos. A bodger sparky will never carry out substandard lash-ups in my house again thanks to these videos.
A big thanks to Matt as it’s not an easy task to film yourself and give a running tutorial on the work he is carrying out 👍
Doubles the job time almost sometimes so takes real patience.....appreciated down here in New Zealand!
