Well done bro doing a great job over there
That cable break above the switch sequence was hilarious…famous last words. Recently found your channel, loving the content.
It’s wasn’t funny at the time 😂😂. Thanks mate, appreciate it 👍🏻
Always these jobs that are the pain mate! Had a very similar job over in Pimlico few years ago, a full refurb. Two bed flat…
Honestly it was the biggest ballache like this! Routes an utter pain and about 30 years of shite above the plaster & lathe ceilings where the people above had obviously had work done & it had all been swept under only for me to find it when drilling out the downlight routes.
To make it worse it all had to go through the floor and there was a communal fan route so you had to get round it and it was boxed in with asbestos board!
Utter nightmare I’ve first fixed town houses quicker!!🤦🏻♂️🤣
More like this!!
Feel your pain doing my kitchen and moving the consumer unit joys of sparks
😩
Haha you tell kasper off for stepping on the top plastic tray, but it’s one below the highest metal run :D no excuses for slips, trips and falls, use the correct access equipment for the job in hand :P it’s like asking a group of sparks if they’ve ever had a shock….. every decent one have stood on the top and had a shock in there trade time.
You lads are hilarious if not hard-working. I can't bear the paper suit either. It makes me itchy, if you know what I mean. 😂
😂I do know what you mean 😂. Cheers mate 👍🏻
Mist system, they may want it on it’s on C type RCBO run in FP which is what I’ve had to do running them before.
Hard work and a lot of dust.....👍👍👍
Yep it really was
I did a mister system recently, they wanted c type mcb ,no rcd, and supply in fp200
Plasters cost less than Sparks...
SO - ALWAYS drop the ceilings, £500 in extra labour to dick about and end up with a poo finish, versus £80 in board and a £150 skim for a proper wiring job and a great finish?????
We don't do domestic, for many reasons, but moronic compromise being 85% of it!
Spot on mate 👍🏻
commercial & industrial.
much cleaner
Kasper can't be a true electrician/apprentice he likes hard work lol
😂😂😂😂true
@@RDavisElectrical a lot of apprentice get spoiled by working on new builds all the time. I did my apprenticeship with my local council. Rewires through the summer and outside lights in the winter and the communal outside lights had to be wired in piro.

@@louisemmett1999 no millennial and your only jealous I know a skill that is pointless these days lol
My old man goes mad when he sees me an absolute mess after a first fix… he always says “where’s your paper suit?” 😂
I’d be just a puddle if I wore a paper suit 🫠
A paper suit??? Nah man 😂😂😂
@@RDavisElectrical yeah mate… he’s obsessed with them 😂 bless him, he’s in the offices these days at the council so I say no more
I've done some jobs like this, making holes all over the place to get cables from A to B - only to find the builder takes the ceiling down anyway because it'll take too long to patch it up 🤦
I’ll be devastated if this happens 😩😂
@@RDavisElectrical fingers crossed 🤞 it doesn't! For stuff like this we've resorted to using the wall chaser with just one blade and the dust extractor on the ceiling. You can do 2 lines 200mm apart and you get a really clean, straight channel. Works great on plasterboard ceilings. Lathe ceilings on the other hand..........you demonstrated quite well all the crap that comes down 😂
Welcome to my world
That bad is it?
@@RDavisElectrical when you've done 45 years of it,then yes.
I'm having trouble finding videos by another UK CZcams electrician. I can't remember the channel name but I remember that it was shot vlog-style and the main guy is jaded, bitterly sarcastic and very funny. Anyone remember the name of the channel?
Good video.
I'm looking at your Bedroom sockets/switches and I never seen white t being used for cables.
Why don't you bring the white t all the way up to the socket. Isn't there no regulation regarding this in the UK?
Thanks mate, no regulation for it. Believe it or not, some people don’t do it at all
Hi I’m 16 turning 17 by September and looking to do an electrician apprenticeship. What would you recommend the best way to go around and find one
Just keep watching electrician channels on CZcams. You'll learn lots. 😅😂
@@raminybhatti5740 I'm an electrician and I'm here watching also, I might learn something new 🤣 I like work too much and this is like being at work but just watching 🤣
In regards to the apprenticeship Question, get a college course first then find someone local to take you on, experience will give you knowledge not qualifications. But stick to college unless you get enough money to pay for a course.
Apply to JTL see how they can help you.
i just got an electrical apprenticeship, its mainly industrial work but the amount of cuts ive already got from cable trays and the like is insane
Give me industrial over house bashing any day , props to those who do it , it can be a mare at times .
House bashing day in day out must be a killer. So boring.
Better electrical engineer
