Bad Word Filter.

I am looking at working for myself at the weekend installing domestic intruder alarms. I am currently qualified as an electrician and hold 16th edition. Do i require part p before i start to install a fused spurs, also to a need to be self cert.

More importanly what is the advice on setting up. Do i sign up for a limited company. I will be working at my current job during the week. Basically to put it bluntly what do i need to set this up

Hi,

I would recommend that you contact local alarm companies and see if you can get some weekend work, that way you can pick up experience and you will not have to go through all the hassle of 'setting up'.

Now that the "battering" seems to have subsided...

Most of us have done the odd PJ, in fact most employed engineers could get sacked for them or alternatively you could look more positively that most respectable companies were formed by someone "starting out" at the weekends.

I have, I pay my tax, I pay my bills with my suppliers, I earn reasonably good money AND I have a steady income from the other days at my regular job.

This financial year I shall turn over about

I've got more challenging things to be baffled by

Isn't the name a clue? Amateur DIY alarm installer, find the subject interesting and want to know more.

I've learnt a hell of a lot along the way, and try to give something back whenever I can.

I got a good welcome when I started, despite asking some pretty dumb (in retrospect) questions.

Nowadays the greetings to Newbies are rather more variable.............

Quite. This forum is not the place it used to be. Too many people so far up their own //.B.W.F.// it puts me off participating anymore.

not alot of sparkies that i know ,have even heard of induced voltage

Unqualified then?
