Not necessarily have f the DNO judgement is that supply is ok for an EV charger they won't change it. It something that should have been sorted prior to the job . Now as it is a shared supply you should have consult next door prior to work beging done. If next door object to there supply being cut off to move the supply cable DNO won't move it. You need written permission from the neighbour for the work to be done.who going to pay the possible £5K to £10K bill to move the supply to next door , you can't expect next door to pay. This should have been sorted before works start. This could finish up be a legal nightmare. It the DNO move the supply who going to be the sparks to reconnect the next door CU to the new supply the DNO won't do it nor will they move the meter. As a sparks I would never undertake any works that may involve an a joining property in less the customer I'm working for legally protects me from the owner of the a joining property. Because if it goes tits up guess who there going to blame . And I would check will my insurance company explaining the situation to see if I'm covered. If next door do agree to the supply being moved they don't have to have you as the sparks to carry the work they can hired there own sparks and sent the bill back to you . I've had incoming supplies moved by the DNO just for the same property I've worked on the DNO move a cable joined a new cable on the old cable and a new service and that cost £5K , and I had to dig the trench. The work you want carried out is a bit more involved
Great to see a bit of house bashing rewiring. Always good when they leave you to it for a few days. Amy is everywhere these days..I'm sure I saw her with a couple of southerners last week? 😊🤙
great adding to team when needed must have help to complete jobs as i was a helper with my uncle years ago on bigger jobs that required extra help in a time
If you are putting an RCD upfront in the meter box, best to use at least a type A RCD as it becomes a problem fitting car chargers in the future. Keep up the good work!
the armeg square hole drill set are awesome to use, you need to use the template to mark the drill holes for the back box there's no need to stick drill the edges of the back boxes either, use the hard brick drill (round drill with TCT bits) to drill to the 35mm depth then use the square edge tool to square off the cut out simples
Amy should really take that bracelet off , accidents happen unfortunately and that would be a bloody painful one either getting stuck or belted from arcing
An electrician that doesn't like going into lofts, wow, you better get used to it Amy. I've subscribed Amy but your on trial. Keep up the good work Nick
us sparkies hate lofts lol but we all have been there in the dark depths of 🕷 🕸 spider infested lofts with thick black dust and rusty nails waiting to jab us 😆 🤣 send the young apprience up....👍😰😰😰🙃😂🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
What do you use for dust extraction on that wall chaser? I'm using a Vax but I need to bang the cloth filter out after each run. Is there a more suitable vac?
it's not Amy The Spark, it's Amy The Sparky haha, I made the same mistake haha. Nice box Nick!! Been using Tradify for about 6 months now from your recommendation, didn't know about the to-do list, cheers. Good video, look forward to the next
If Western Power are the same as where I work the cable to next door will probably just get re routed to high level right above the windows . BTW the services don't look looped just a the main abc conductor will be providing the main feed and the two services split from the gable end of the wall.
there should be a round masonry drill that comes with the box cutter.which literally drills out most of surface area of pattress and box chisel does the rest
Every time I see a British loft access hatch I'm thinking that the design must be the work of a sadistic person! Here in Germany, even in old buildings, the loft access is much more comfortable to use.
Honestly, if you're from central Europe, everything in British houses will feel a bit scaled down! The same is true for Dutch houses and quite a few other places in north-western Europe (parts of France and Belgium mainly). Sprawling Irish bungalows are a bit more like what we're used to. Just to give you an example, minimum width for stairs and halls has been 1000 mm here in Austria for a looooong time and most are at least 1200 (unobstructed width, i.e if you've got a hand rail screwed to one wall the actual stairs need to be even wider). Maximum acceptable pitch is also lower than the 45 degrees you find in many north-western houses. I think a fairly typical pitch is something like 15/25. Minimum ceiling height in domestic premises is 2500. Pre-WWI city houses, even the most humble working-class flats, usually had well over 3000, upper-class places often went to 4500, which is a bit ridiculous TBH.
@@Ragnar8504 So same as here with the ceiling height. In my 1950s house the ceiling height is 2.5m. In the house of my parents it's only 2.3m in the rooms of the ground floor. And they still installed ceiling fans in there. I said if someone's too long for it, he will be shortened automatically 😂
@@Marcel_Germann I don't even want to imagine spending more than a few minutes in one of those really old timber-framed farm houses in Germany though - I've heard some of them have ceilings as low as 1700! That's about my shoulder level. I think the smallest access hatches you can get here are 600x600 - a firefighter needs to get through into the loft in case of a fire.
Hahahah I can picture it!! Slow zoom, music drifts in from the background 'all around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces' Nick should make an edit of it as a short!!!!!
@nick Ellingham I'm really close to beginning an electrical apprenticeship at 34. Your comment is not what I wanted to see right now haha. I wanted something that pays well so I'm secure and looks pretty interesting. But you think it'll be a bad idea?
@nick Ellingham Thanks Nick. The financial part won't concern me I don't think. I was in college doing Music Technology for the last seven years ended up with a masters in the end but with COVID, the entertainment world collapsed just at the end of my academic journey.. I've learned to live on a shoestring in that time though. I'm still single, no kids. So the only way is up for me financially, even as a first year apprentice! At my age, I need security. Not for now necessarily but 20-30 years from now and being reliant in anything in the audio world will not be wise. I can still work on music and things like that outside of my work hours anyway. And yes, UA-cam has been great so far for learning the basics.
@nick Ellingham Based in Ireland myself atm, but you know I've been eyeing up Oz or England once I've the apprenticeship out of the way. Yeah I did a fair bit of signal path and would have done three modules over the years in audio electronics, so would have gotten a solid grounding (no pun haha) in the basic theory. And thats true, having an electrical background along with music tech is a nice combo to have I'd say, they cross over a fair bit and I'm sure opportunities will arise somewhere down the road from having both. I'm looking forward to it. A change is always exciting and the potential elimination of the financial stress and anxiety about the future (even before COVID) I've been carrying around can't come soon enough. :)
You drill a hole in the centre. then use the box attachment. It’s to me at to make it tidier but I’ve had to use chisel aswell to tidy it up. Not very sharp
I have the Armeg box cutter set. Never use it, it is a faff. You have a bit, kind of like a router/drill bit that you use to remove waste before using the box cutter and it creates more dust than necessary. Drill and chisel bit all day long. Nice one dude. Am I right in thinking that if you run armoured for the mains that it doesn't require RCD but if you used standard tails they would.
Tradify question Nick. Is the tradify app compatible with office365? Just with the mention of the ToDo lists which is also an item in the O365 environment.
Nick forget to say you need the rest of the box sinker. You are not using the actual drill but you don’t have it. Just google box cutter you’ll see what I mean 😀
More space for wiring though, It's always a trade-off. I do like to use round 60/70 mm boxes and just core-drill the holes in the walls but Italian (Italy uses the same boxes as the US, BTicino imported the whole design in the early 60s, including the #6-32 UNC mounting screws just to make things properly complicated) boxes are quite nice if you've got a lot of wires. I can buy Italian back boxes and accessories (including standard Schuko sockets) from an Austrian wholesaler and being a sucker for trying weird things I had to use some. Very modular but definitely not cheap!
Other than the seriously dated carpets, doors, wallpaper, kitchen from the 90' & dining room that looks like the inside of a sauna with all that wooden boarding on the walls? I suppose the master bedroom is okay if you did something to those wardrobes.
I got threw out of college because of a female spark. she was on course with me. She over heard me telling another student about me goosing my woman on the weekend. She said it traumatised her. Never got my hole for weeks after that
Bought the same kit do cut boxes out.. they are next level good and save so much time! Watched this video to find out how to use the kit.. 👌 ua-cam.com/video/UYfYxsbBmyM/v-deo.html

Great to see nice people in the trade who take pride in their work,house bashing is definitely character building
That's a crazy cool old house! Love it. Love the view too. Wouldn't mind living there myself. :)
Also: Amy has an awesome laugh. Contagious.
Amy laughing adds a new dimension to the vid. Loved it
Re. the shared supply, ISTR reading that if you tell them it's for an EV charger, they have to unloop the supply for free.
Thanks bud

Those socket cutters are fine for thick walls, especially block. No good for old single brick on sides in lime mortar in old houses!

Tell western power an EV charge point is getting installed Nick. They will have to unloop the supply and most delicious... its free.

It's an inspection hatch, not a loft hatch. Very common in the UK. Designed for surveying purposes not access.
@@JakeBM4 Ok, I've only seen such small hatches and ladders put on to get up there. And I thought wtf is this and why is it so small?

Amy. You have a new subscriber and it ain't the wife😅
You drill a hole in the centre. then use the box attachment. It’s to me at to make it tidier but I’ve had to use chisel aswell to tidy it up. Not very sharp
What's the name of that tool you're cutting with?
If you cut the tongue and groove first you can see exactly where the joist is 👍🏻
Hi. What are the areas that you cover?

You’ll need a cutter to help you with that two holes either side.
Then use the box sinker.

Is the tradify app compatible with office365? Just with the mention of the ToDo lists which is also an item in the O365 environment.
Box cutter only good for block work really not bad to use
Great video 😎
09:10 carry on sparking. Ooh! Matron. 😆
20:00 Is nicks right arm that much bigger?
Lol
DNO needs to unloop the feed and provide both houses with their own supply. FOC process
The box cutter is to square up the hole, u need the rest of the kit, but save ur money as they are 💩
i think they're ok'ish on breeze block iirc but yeah
crap on hard bricks great on breeze blocks
