Snowed under at the moment, I've got 12 months of work lined up! Been turning down 2 jobs a week since the start of January. I think it shows how the market has changed in London, teams of trades doing renovations and no-one wants to touch the smaller jobs.
I did just take and pass the exams for Part P and BS7671 though, that's why my electrical fu is strong atm.
Light sockets throw most people, the colours don't mean what they usually mean and half the time they're not sleeved to let you know they could be line conductors. Never assume that a blue or black wire in a light switch is neutral.
There is also twice as many wires as there should be.
I actually want to get into some sort of trade, would love to renovations and the like. I have an interview for a plumbing course at a local college this week but I have a feeling its for youngsters.
Any tips on how to get into the field?
