@@NBundyElectrical can you keep track of man hours and material for this job? Would love to know your profit on it, if any, job seems cheap mate, good luck!
Switch feeding is always the way to go now lad. Especially when clients pick those delightful pendants/wall lights with sod all connection space in them. At least you'll only have a maximum of 2 cables in there. Plus means you can add smart controls at a later date if you install 47mm deep boxes at the start. Smokes on apex need to be 0.5m down from the peak bud 👍
When I worked as an Improver, I worked on a small new build site; 4x 3 storey houses. The developer wasn't in a hurry & with only a very small trade team on it, I spent a long time first fixing on my own. Loved that job, even getting snowed on whilst drilling joists for runs as no windows were in. Look forward to seeing future videos on this Nick!
LOVE when people aren't in a hurry, reminds me of my training, take your time and do it right... being snowed on sounds like hell tho, cables get less flexible when it's cold lol
Wow, 4way switching sounds like voodoo to me, interesting job. Just found you via plumberparts etc. just subscribed, looking forward to increasing my electrical knowledge. Cheers 🍻
Nick on bathrooms I always feed the fan isolater saves a joint box in the ceiling feed the fan iso 3 core to fan lamp wire and switch line easy makes a nice tidy job.
How I’d do the fan feed, would be a dual 25mm back box at 1200mm, the left side a 1mm feed in/out, plus 3 core for 2 way, a little 3 core link across to right hand side and out of the right side in 3 core to the fan. Assuming your looping at the switch.
Looking good nick! One thing that i always do is bring a main to the fan isolator, and take a twin to thd light, twin to the switch and a 3 core to the fan. Saves having a joint above a light? 👍👍
Love your channel mate. Just a little point that would help me and maybe others is when you’re explaining the route the cables are taking could you please post a drawing of the route.
Great videos 👍🏽 would be a nice job for a home automation control 4, not sure if you have allowed for led strip lighting on that job would be great as feature lighting in certain rooms my want to talk to your clients about that too,if you do use 24v strip lighting,I always use that on jobs not 12v, keep up the good work 👍🏽
Speaking of home automation, it's worth talking to clients about having neutral conductors at all of the switches in case they ever want to fit fancy home automation switches.
Do the switch wire for the bathroom in a 3 core and earth, then wire that to the fan isolator and then off to the fan, less cables above the first light and much easier to put away!
Stop apologising for not filming "work" - the planning and prepping is as much work as anything else on the job and it's useful to see, especially as it's rarely shown. So thanks for this, it's very informative.

The commando socket must be a TT earthing arrangement, were they moor there boat it has to be treated as a marina , so you don't export the earth .

What joint boxes will you be using above the ceiling? I just done a similar wiring method and installed JCC V50 lights, trying to fit a wago box in the ceiling with the celotex into a 70mm hole was tight!

if build high standard how law say make all. good. ewery cable need be in plastic tube, ewery cable need be 3 wire, hotline, zero, and ground. then have right and perfect. and ewery water point near NOT have socket etc elektric point, need be far minimum 1,2 meter out of all water point,tap, pool, sink. not newer nearest. and ewery outside socket and bathroom socket need be safety break 30mA fast automatic circuit breaker.
@@mattivirta Rules differ between countries. UK doesn't require conduit (tube) but yes it's a good idea, if possible. 30mA RCD's are required for almost everything in houses. Unless there's a shower or a bath in the room, we're allowed electrical points anywhere, but the recommendation is minimum 300mm from sinks/taps etc.
Wondered what the voltage drops were with those long runs. In US we are recommended no more than 5%drop it’s a performance rather than safety issue and as you say I doubt your LED lights would have any issues even if they were greater than 5percent. Of course the 5percent guidance is somewhat moot in USA where long radial circuit runs are the norm in our larger houses. Also did you re-test the temporary board just in case there were shenanigans in between your visits by others?
Wouldn't be a Bundy episode without his trusty sidekick Adam making a load of noise in the background 🤣🤣 poor lad! He's just trying to clip his cables!
In jobs I worked on , when they dot and dab a block wall you should usually chase the backboxes if they are 35mm about 15mm , the amount of boxes sticking out of new builds when they used 35mm boxes on this . Also I would use metal capping for when it's being dot and dab because it's thinner and makes the drywallers job easier
@@itsalltheothers in some jobs if the wall is small like for a kitchen for example I used 35mm straight to the wall but just because I knew the drywaller , some budget newbuild flats we used all white sockets and switches we put 25mm backboxes without chasing everywhere but that was agreed by the builders to drive costs down

No Quinetic switches Nick?

@@NBundyElectrical 👍
Had a lot of respect for u but buying that hairy thing on a stick no spark should ever buy one or use one
Client: "hmm 12k huh? I tell ya what I'll treat to a couple pints at the pub instead what'da say?"
My nephew, a builder has lost count of the number of times he's heard this.
It usually ends up with the client trying to deduct the cost of his "friendship" from the the quote when the bill arrives.
He's lost money in the past over this and "while you're doing that, could you do this?" add ons.
You have no mates when it comes to business!
That’s a days money down here 🤣
Cory's daily snack budget
Ffs 👍😂😂
At Artisans daily rate I’m not surprised.

Bathroom lights should be fused down for fan .This is a requirement.
Hence the 3 pole fan isolator having a 3 amp fuse in it
@@NBundyElectrical Nice one mate no flies on you .Keep up the good work bud 👍
Let's hope he got a deposit.

I need a job pleas you hairing me on a assistant
Only cleaning for the camera, I'm not a real electrician, I clean up.
Made me cringe to see Adam on the ladder next to that big void 🤮🤮
£12k is cheap tbh. That’s a £20k job all day long, depending on Spec. And for that sort of money, metal boxes are a much better alternative to plasterboard boxes, hate those things. If you don’t fix them 100% straight you get no play on the faceplate on 2nd fix. Plus flat plate accessories look terrible with them

@@mattivirta and it’s that attitude which has the industry screwed. What a ridiculous statement to make, the job costs what it costs, if you start telling people that houses shouldn’t cost more then X Amount, they expect the world. Unfortunately like most sparks I don’t have the time to source cheap material from anywhere other then a Wholsaler. If your happy to work for wages essentially and not make a profit, that’s the wrong way to run a business. So many other overheads as well as wages need to be accounted for and as your company grows and the jobs get bigger, so do the expenses.
Leasing vans
Vans insurance
PL insurance
PI insurance
NICEIC
Safe contractor
CHAS registration
All these things you need to have now to get bigger jobs.
We are sparks who’ve done hard 4 year apprenticeships to earn good money, what’s the point in earning the same money as someone stacking shelves who doesn’t have the stress and worry about bills, workload, materials and overheads? No, we earn good money to cover all those things and probably still lose money on jobs and somethings got to pay for our big houses and flashy motors.
£20k in labour cost?
little vhouse not can newer waste 1200 $ this house, or need all build double and gold and diamond ewery place. not newer cost, im has build elektrician engineering, plan, draw,build ower 300 house last 30 year and newer not has cost 12000 $ or more.normal small house this have, cost 3000-4000 $ maximum all parts.

£ 12000 + ? 😳 seems a bit over priced to me
A lot of stuff going on outside
£12,000 overpriced? Behave, I’d say that’s underpriced, the amount of man hours and return visits to jobs like that, £12k is going nowhere and the cost of materials these days, the builder has themselves a absolute bargain!
At least insulate Britain won't be glueing themselves to your front door!
