First time I’ve seen someone other than myself using a Metrel, what do you think of it mate?
Anyway I can get a job with level 2 degree?
My wife put candles in the loft after Christmas and they all melted in the summer, that's probably what you found :)
ahahahahah
Lovely to see you working with your son Corey!
LOL
👆🏼This. So good!!
Haha
father son moment so nice to watch!
tip: if you want a socket and a fuse on the same faceplate, then Euro modules are an option.
Fuck me thats a good idea 🔥thanks for the tip I’ll defo be using that
Would look hella awful though & you'd have no switch/rocker to the socket 🤔
@@bellas_switch_adapted_toys Yeah, you'd only get one switch on there with the socket and fuse, so you'd have to choose whether the socket or the spur got switched.
It would certainly look unusual, but i'm not sure why it would look anymore "awful" than other electrical accessories do.
Another great educational video! You literally have the best electrical videos out on UA-cam.
Thanks so much
Another fantastic video to watch. Love to see time and experience being invested in apprentices to show them the right way of working and also explaining why you are doing what you are doing. Great work guys. 👍
Very cool long ranged plug tester, Ive done the same thing with plugging an extension lead in the socket and bringing it to the board where im working and plugging my tester in there so that I can see that the circuit is off and not have to run back and forth!
As usual, Cory, you are a joy to watch and listen to.
Thanks
I just completed my level 2 course in college last month and I'm now looking for an apprentiship in Blackburn . For the meantime I just watch you're videos and learn as much as I can ready for level 3.
Awesome
@@stk-lo9zc cool
Finished my level 3 in 2013 and I still learn from watching others. Great knowledge sharing space here :).
Hey man, I’m a sparky based in Blackburn. Drop me a message on Instagram and I can give you a few companies to ask for work. @josh_gard93
@@smorty1261 yeah definitely , already done my level 2 , just finished my level 3 and 18th edition , starting my apprenticeship in September and I’m literally just watching loads of videos but also working 3 days a week with someone on the side , always learning 👍
Great Video , As regards the waxy stuff found . It belongs to the Lesser Spotted Southern Wax Shrew . Its occasionally found in lofts and floor voids across Southern England although it can occasionally be found in other areas of the UK . They are a small nocturnal rodent with small frog like feet and they tend to live in Electrical back boxes and naturally prefers old junction boxes and flex outlet plates especially in winter . The waxy substance gets secreted from their frog like feet and gets used as simple bedding for this furry little Rodent .
Better than some previous videos because of less comedy and less food. Good sound quality, we can hear both of you clearly.
That new device is like having two electricians like you mentioned in a previous video.
We have a Redrow new build and have had major issues with the electricians they used. They have been back here a dozen + times and caused more problems so we got Redrow to bring in a different company. Since completion we haven't received any certs for works here apart from the original one at completion.
Some works done: termination and boxing of cables left on the floor, door bell in stupid position and moved from left side of door to right with plasterboard removal to route cables, two ovens running off a single line rather than a dedicated to each resulting in power problems (the master switch for the top oven was located above the oven 7 feet up at back of cupboard, to turn it off in the event of a fire you would need to reach over the oven and reach into the back of the cupboard, this was moved to two white (of different brands, these also flicker constantly) switches instead of the heavy red switch, no plasterboard damage but there is a new switch in the consumer unit that has now maxed that unit out (this will be a major problem in the future with electric car charging etc, is it documented that there should be slots left?), moving a light switch closer to entrance of door frame as it was several arms length away.....
list goes on but we have no certs for any of this stuff. Is that illegal? Major concerns over the electrics here, my phone has blown up, bare cables left on the floor at completion and ovens still not quite right with power. We have requested from Redrow an independent complete check of everything here but they claim as it's signed off by a certified company its not a problem, even though they have sent them back here dozens of times to fix problems and still have problems outstanding.
NHBC are throwing the same line out, if it's been signed off by someone certified then they see no reason to do a check.
Another good video, Cory and Reuben make a great team, esp the banter 😂
Haha thanks
Green wax could be slug as i have had that before where a slug shorted
Wow i was really amazed that the scantronic panel went off it was funny kind of and im an alarm enthusiast and a collector so yeah it was really interesting for me
yesss more Cory! LOVE IT
I don't count switches when doing testing only the lights, fans etc on lighting circuits.
Ruben always read the small print 🤣
Great vid good to see cory back 👍
What happened to Cory? Back I assume?
Got told last week to not count switches on for number of points but I always have and I argued about it.
Great video and a new double act in the making, watch out John 😆😆😆
Great videos with great information but I’d definitely recommend to your apprentice when live testing would be to connect the live last and remove it first. If he connects it last and the other Probe creates a short he might shit his pants 😂
Pure gold again. I was going to say the dynamic duo is back, but that's been claimed by Bundy 10.... Is Reuben joining Artisan full time? Hopefully so. That cheeky grin at 3:05 says it all. Rueben was in the right place to make a mess in his pants. Lol
Another excellent video from Team Artisan.
When you were counting points and counted the switches, I was always taught a switch isn’t a point, only load drawing accessories were a point so switch not being included 🤔
Happy to be told the correct answer here if I’m wrong tho.
Same
I was also taught this
I include switches and fan isolators as points as I just feel that it’s still a point with serviceable connections. Not sure which way is correct either really.
@@paulg9815 don’t get me wrong I’m not against either way, I also agree a point is anywhere to test from so switches etc included.
now I’m just not sure which if any are correct. Think it should have a definite answer somewhere
I’m the same, I was always taught that a point is a “Load drawing item” as in Spot light or a wall light, shaver, fan, socket etc.
A switch isn’t, so I don’t count them as such, asked the NICEIC about it and the assessor we have said he agreed, although he wouldn’t take offence to counting switches but said he doesn’t think you have to.
Gotta love a Scantronic alarm panel 👍👍
Best eicr walk through I've found on UA-cam. Nice work!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise. 😃👍👏👏👏👏
15:40 it was probably a wax candle that was in the attic and got too hot and melted dripping onto whatever was surrounding it.
Very good content, good to see the apprentice hands on👌🏻best way to learn.
Nice to see both of you respect the customer’s house by taking off your boots
hi bro I like your videos you’re so kind ...i apprentice electrician
I finished my apprenticeship and I got my degree and I would to come to UK to work...I am from France.....is that possible ??? to come and continue apprenticeship
Another awesome video.
lovely job, good on you both 💪🏻
Thanks!
a note on the bad eighties work
all the ones that have had problems have already had them and gotten fixed in some ways
so it could be an effect of the bathtub curve meaning that installations with poor workmanship have failed and gotten reworked
Well Ruben is a handsome little fella.What are the ear defenders for ?? Great video cheers lads
Quote. All the work in the 80s was done to a high standard. End result. Fail! No cross bonding 🤣.
Thanks for the videos.
Well done on Cory going down the electrician route rather than me choosing nursing over electrics.
Nurses eat there young 👎
Electricians teach them 👍
Artisan Dog Training. Any chance of training my two Springer Spaniels Corey 😎👌
I finished college and now I want to do what you are doing here. I love the idea of installing electrical charging points and other electronics such as doorbells, sockets, and lighting it seems fun but I can't find any similar work-related jobs as I have no experience and do not own a car or driving license I have a CSCS card and am revising for my ECS card. Also, I live in London. Do you have any advice on how to find work?. I don't really want to be working on LARGE construction sites but if I must I will.
Find a decent company,those that work on big sites will generally train you pretty well,provided you show you're keen and interested. If you haven't already managed,get yourself an apprenticeship.
have to agree with your 80's install comment
Could the green stuff be treated wood sap type mixture that's melted into it at some point?
Thanks guys
Green goo - not mouse/rat/squirrel piss onto brass/copper and oxidised over time is it?
Strange that you have switches for all the appliances. Here in the USA, for example, the oven / cooker as hard wired behind the unit directly to the breaker in the panel only. No way to turn off other than turn off the breaker.
In South Africa we are required to have an isolator within a meter of the oven/stove (that's what we call them), electric gate motors and also for hot water cylinders (we call them geysers).
Damn isolators burn out quite often on the 4kW 200 litre units.
Washing machine, drier and dishwasher are usually on a switched socket, but if hard wired they would need an isolator too (not common).
Which function on the metrel , do you use to do Ze test . can you please illustrate . Thanks in advance
What Multifunctional Tester is this? Can you share a link for it?
Another great video. If an EICR fails on say an FI and a c2, what is your remedial procedure and does another satisfactory, complete certificate need to be sent?
There is no remedial procedure unless the client agrees to pay you to investigate or fix. You can only give a quote but the EICR isn't inclusive of fixing C2's.
Great video
Hey guys, does a pir sensor count as a point in a circuit?
What happened to the IR testing??
What happened about the class 1 light fittings with no earth?
Do I assume c2 with it being in the loft and needing access equipment?
Good video, do you know where can I find a digital EICR doc. Thnx
Failing a test due to RCD’s, although regs aren’t retrospective? Seems a bit overkill
Why would you be counting light switches as a point on the circuit? The points are the current using points, fans, cooker outlets, cooker control switches (with sockets built in), sockets, showers, lights? Or am I just doing it wrong.
I do it that way too! Funny I’ve seen other sparks who do it like Cory but for me it’s always been “points of utilisation” which means anything that uses power so not switches etc.
Number of points is really a pointless excerise. I’ve never seen switches get counted on lighting circuits though. Points of utilisation makes sense but then I’ve seen difference of opinion e.g twin socket as two, cooker control with inbuilt socket. I personally go with counting anything that serves a neutral to switchgear/equipment, something I got told by NIC years ago
@@dannyboisparky Makes sense, I do it this way as well.
This is the my mentor taught me years ago.
Yea, I was thinking that myself. I would only count a point of it was current using.
How old is the apprentice? Nice vid!
He is 16
A “mini-me!”
Shouldn't Cory have isolated the cooker circuit or consumer unit before sending the apprentice off to remove the cooker faceplate?
No, we just believe in setting a good example for our apprentices.
what software you using on the ipad for your eicr?
How you count points, one pendant and switched from two locations is one point or two?
I would count this as 3. One for the pendant and one for each switch.
That rcd reset call out! Too many times!!!!
Does anyone know what multi meter Cory is using?
Your apprentice looks about 12, nice guy I'm sure, but it makes me laugh. Another great video and so glad I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks! He is young but good!
@@artisanelectrics Artisan TNG!
We don't have any kind of these test here. Never seen it.
Where’s Oscar been
Door plate “plumbing” 😂. Is it a bathroom or water tank though?
Just wondering what work pants Cory wears?
Wonder when test sheet will start asking for rn + r2 reading to confirm no loose connection
About time. Why does nobody test the Neutral? It is carrying current in normal use and arguably more important than the earth which does not . (heretic here. Test Rl + Rn )
@@JC-jv5xw putting a clamp meter around supply earth cable on a tncs system should also be a test carried out as well.
@@JC-jv5xw my thinking with rn +r2 is you could compare easier than with R1+ RN
Whats the name of the plug in tester
Kewtech
1min 15 - you charge people for that ?
Gets yourself a big Larry 2
Access to live parts is not a c2!
If they're ionisation smoke alarms, I'd replace them
Does every house in England have a alarm system?
No
Alarms used to be installed as a value add in a lot of new builds. Takes hardly any extra time during construction, lets you add a few grand to the asking price. My house was built in 2005 and has a load of 6 core data cable runs back to the loft for a potential alarm system, but it was never actually installed. They were handy for pulling in network cables to various points around the house 😁
How comes customers in houses dont hasstle u like delroy the spark?
Because we have classy customers 🤣
@@artisanelectrics so do delroy
Jordon manners pls
What trousers is Corey wearing?
his own 😂😂😂
Blaklader
His chastity trousers.
C1
Im only here to see rueben x
What a strange place for a alarm panel lol
So cute
👍🏾
No need to count points on an EICR
This is artisan.
Nice dog 😄
That would be late 90s not 80s
I miss Oscar...!
This kid looks about 12 years old
You's are like high school age
16:47 Gay!!
Their good enough electricians but also must have a large Gay fan base.
