Fused spurs


Recommended Posts

Hi all

 

I was wondering what you one man bands do with regards to fused spurs

 

You've just sold a texecom wireless system to a domestic customer and what do you do about the power?

 

I'm interested as I'm starting to enter the domestic market and wanted to know the accepted solution

 

I know you registered boys will say spur always and it's down to the customer, which I agree.  But as I'm feeding the grudge purchase bottom end of the market I can't afford to be, that's how it has to be. 

 

Interested in your thoughts

Have it agreed that the customer is to provide unswitched unindicated FCU with 3A fuse, if it's not there come installation date provide a plug top and document as a temporary measure.

With long lead perhaps in some cases?

Are you PART P registered? You can install an additional socket or FCU without any need to notify the works. I always provide a U/S 3 AMP Spur myself included in the price of install. If there is any major chasing involved I fill the chase and explain it will need to be re-decorated by the customer. Suppose it depends how much time you have allocated to your job.

You just have to be a competent person to fit a fused supr providing it not in a special zone such as a kitchen of bathroom.

You need a test meter to check for earth fault loop, rcd test, insulation test etc, and have to issue a minor works cert for the spur.

Tavcom in Southampton do a day course for it.

You don't need to test the full house...

If you adding a new circuit to the consumer unit then you would need to carry out a full installation cert for that one circuit you are adding.

If you are adding a spur to say a ring main then you can carry out a minor works cert.
