Electricians day installing shower circuit and consumer unit find. 

Brilliant video, nothing better than doing electrical work all day they coming home and watching other guys do electrical work during their day ha

Fire clips are definitely not a load of old balls. I have a friend whose dad is an ex firefighter and he's told me stories about the times he's been caught up in cables that have collapsed. Scary stuff!

Great to see these vids from the likes of you and Nagy, unfiltered unscripted just told how it is in the real world. Excellent.

Love the videos, doing my level 2 electrical at college right now and just watching these vids helps me understand things even more, since it’s in a working environment.

I am literally mesmerized by the difference in electrical work just across the pond! Love the vids of you calling out poor workmanship. I do the same over here in the US......just not on youtube.

Love the video Chris, keep up the sense of humour 😂😊👍 great explanation on what you're doing as well.

Keep the videos coming pal I don’t know why but I enjoy watching people doing this job and your the only youtuber that I watch doing this work. Great job with the videos and the work you do in general 👍👍 thank you

Right video mate. Real life stuff just what I need 👍👍

Brilliant video mate. Thanks👍🏻

Never gets old watching you guys across the pond! Electric showers seem so weird coming from the US! We do have demand water heaters mostly gas around here but you will find an electric from time to time. Last one I saw was feed with 3 x 30a 240v circuits one 10ga (2.588 mm) run for each stage of the heater. Keep in mind this is a whole home unit not just one shower.

Another great vid Chris. Keep up the great work. Getting loads of tips. Cheers mate

Another excellent video, love the tips especially. Every day is a learning day ..

Really enjoyed this video and your others. Please keep them coming.

Tidy work, and a new screw tray 👍

Great idea with those ties. Will be looking into those

Thank you for your videos it helps me a lot for the future.

Nice job , shame about that dodgy pipe work , some people don't give a shit and get away with it......😡 Cheers.....👍

Loved the ( wire) cable tie above the fuse box!

Another great video - keep em coming!

another great video mate. keep them coming.

Hi there, I just discovered your channel and it's really interesting. Definitely subscribing. I'm a retired power station electrical fitter which is quite a different job so it's good to be able to see the domestic side of things! I'm quite amazed to see some of the jobs you are confronted with at times, ie botch ups! I know I would be tempted to walk away from quite a few of them! Keep the videos coming and keep an old spark amused!

Carry on! we’re enjoying 👍 great work.

Top electrical work. Shocking pipework from the plumber! I hope that was a handyman and not a tradesman!!

Ha! Fitted a Sprint last week and had the EXACT same weeping shower hose out the bottom of the shower. It was like dejavu!! Come on Toolstation!!

Great video! I've seen other electricians videos of them installing some sort of isolator that automatically turns off the other shower to reduce the current demand

Nice idea on the DP isolator in the cupboard mate. Saves getting in the loft if anything 😂

Good video! You can get a shower priority unit that would only allow one shower supply to be on at a time, works well 👍

A superb job sir. Well done.

Great video neat install

Good to see you used trunking this time 😊. Great video and great job 👍👍

I'm enjoying how you do electrical work in the UK. Especially the flexible stranded conductors in the cables. In the US we typically use a 5ma trip rated 120 volt GFCI receptacle to protect people. The 30 ma trip would be to protect wired equipment. The residential voltage supplied by the utility is nominally 120/240 volt with lights and receptacles supplied at 120 volts.

And great clean job by the way.

Just subbed to the channel, great videos. The plumbing in this video shouts out a DIY job, if he was a plumber, he should retire double quick.

Top work and videos 👍🏽

Nice work!

Fixing the cables is to protect fire fighters coming into the building from getting entangled, not people exiting. Nice job. 9.5/10

Top job Chris... Good to know I'm not the only one that leaves a few mil gap for trunking bends. I probably would have tried to persuade the customer to have a few lengths of perforated cable tray fitted to support the wiring in the garage.

That plumbing is criminal

Great tip for the neon I didnt realise that, thanks

interesting with that isolator box we have some similar trunking in the sates the only thing i would have drilled for a bushing instead of leaving conductors so close to that jagged edge. keep in mind tho im no professional and can take all day. time is money but workmanship is priceless

Great videos thank you.

Awesome video dude. :)

Nice one 👍

I love those magnusson wire cutter. Use it all day long for Stripping wires and 25mm meter tails - no problem.

Anything great video keep them coming would be great if they was longer as well love long RU-vid videos but definitely one of my favourite guys

great video mate could you maybe show some of the testing that you do

Tanx for the upload plz carry on with the video's and tips.

lovely 'push fit' fittings that won't be trodden on or bashed lol...

You could have offered the option of an automatic load priority switch for her to 10.8kW showers.

could you not install a priority switch for the lady with 2 showers?

nice vid mate i wish you was in Epsom all the best/Kev

Good job

It's a shame the colleges don't teach the City & Guilds Part C Electrical Installation courses anymore ! Great videos .

Brilliant!

Love this video, nice one mate. Keep up the great work.

Try use a miter box with a hand saw for the corners. I use mitered corners all the time and it looks mint.

Looked like an MK pattress and switch, you can chop them about bit - try that with a BG or LAP 😂 good video

Our consumer unit at home looks like a very similar model to the one in this video. The RCD looks (a bit) newer than all the other breakers, though it's still all MK. (though there is also the same hole at the top of the box)

Hi, this is my 2nd visit to this installation video and a couple of things sort of jumped out at me. The Consumer unit should have their MCB/RCBO Installed from the Greatest Ampere Sizes nearest the Main Switch to the lowest Amp Rated being the furthest away, large loads need to be fed first and a real bonus is that lighting that dims when these loads are being fed can indicate issues. Placing a 50A breaker near the end is not a good idea. Maybe also another good idea where it is not practical to re-configure the Existing Consumer Unit [short cables maybe] is to install a Separate 4 to 6 way Consumer Unit wired direct via a pair of 100A iscol links, Next to the Origianal Board, to then install a Main RCD Switch rated at 30mA/80A and then place a 50A Type B,C or D Series MCB Dependent upon Max Circuit Resistance. Interesting point here is that everyone and their dog selects a Type B Breaker without considering the value of selecting a more suitable one via the Tables in the Wiring Regulations I also noted an extraneous conductive part [Wall to Rafter Metal Tie] next to the Consumer Unit with no earth attached and I doubt that the Garage Doors/Frame had been earthed ! Also omitted was the check to verify if the Bath / sink had been Bonded, bearing in mind this installation appears to be old school regs not having a 2 x Main RCD Split M/C Board affording all circuits with RCD Protection, it needs to comply to the regulations of that time and sure as eggs are eggs this needs checking, also a quick check as to the type and Class of light fitting installed in the Bathroom.

Someone needs to tell that plumber that it's Work>Special Brew. Not the other way round or this happens!

Nice👍

Mate get a cordless multi tool. Will make cutting those larger squares for knockouts so much quicker and easier

everytime i see the top of GB panel boards im amazed we need to use retainer grommets for all of our wire runs you just leave them flopping around on sharp edges although you did add some puddy

You could install the 2 x 10 .8 kw showers if you incorporate a shower priority switch

Some tips on how to become a better Electrician like you. Otherwise, your really good, very good

Pipework looks fine. It’s not leaking.

2:37 .. plumbers pulled a really nice bend there -_-

Would love for you to show the testing parts and what you do there

13:49 In Thailand they use these showers too. But without special on/off switch in cable line, power cable direct to fuse switch. The shower self have a on/off button switch. Why do you need three switches in UK?

That Busbar extension kit is (or was) a kosher MK kit to do just that sort of job.

Brilliant as always ... didn't you feel a bit lonely without James 😂

It’s so when you put the lid on the switch lid the cables fold into the box neatly

Very professional job mate! Have to ask tho, what was that that you just installed? I live in Canada and I have a 30 gallon Hot Water Heater in the basement! Cheers

i being from usa wld have sleeved some pvc conduit thru the block and left not so much of a tight bend out of the hole i think you may have over done the clipping a little but maybe there are different codes on that side of pond. in my area its one clip every 1.2 meters larger cables like those i might go every 1 meter

New drinking game: 4 shots of tequila every time he says intramescent mastic. Great vid as always mate.

Enjoy your videos and seeing it done differently. From Texas. Not to sound dumb but is that a hot water heater/water pressure booster? We have nothing like that here I’ve seen..

Diamond drill bit for holes in pattress box.

Great video 👍🏻, shame the pipe work didn’t have a single fixing in it 🙈

Goodman, do you have to install a consumer unit for a shower circuit or can you use an existing one if it has space?

Toolstation coffee free :)

Question i am now on my 3rd isolating wall mounted Switch the previous one lasted 7 months the first one 7 years when the shower was fitted by a Qualified Spark i normally turn the shower isolating switch off when ive finished showering just wondered if it causes the switch to fuse together if you turn it on anmd off ? the last one i have replaced today the top wire had burnt out and caused the switch unoperable ,the second switch was fitted by another Qualified Spark but this only lasted 7 months i have now fitted a new 45 AMP switch myself as my spark said he was ogff till Jan 6th 19 thanks in advance any ideas

Great video Chris, lots of helpful info. Would like to ask why you chose an RCBO rather then just a standard circuit breaker to supply current to the shower. I am not an electrician but a plumber/heating engineer so I do install showers now and again. thanks.

The length of that drill bit looks like Derek Wilton drilling into Reg Holdsworths water bed.

Well done top of enclosure should have been IP4X from new

Hi Chris, What size trunking did you use in the cupboard? Thanks

8:14 omg that bus bar must be insulated!

Why didn't you run a earth leakage switch after the mains in this fuse box?

Would you still used the banding straps if the cable was covered by plaster board?

Feck me, that plumber is a bodger what a bloody mess, TOP WORK on the electrics though :)

Looks good. I need a connection and electronic shower installed. What is the cost for both? BTW I looked and I live in London, you guys are to far away. Not sure if you have locations or workers all over?

جيد جدآ انتى مهندس جيد استاذ

Desperately in need of some cable tray in garage for this cables . Shocking leaving them like that whoever the spark was who was their last .

I guess you could put a changeover switch between the supply cable and the two load cables coming from each shower, so only one at a time could be used, but I think that's a bit too out there for a domestic dwelling?

For your customer with a 2 shower request, could you connect them via a changeover switch, so only one could be live at a time? Yes, they would have to manually switch it, but that may be better than a no, or an upgrade to three phase?

Where do you get your led down lights from mate

Great video pal,where's Andy hiding??

That's a good little feature the MK shower switch has, how secure are the neon tails once you put them back in?

Hi, if i have a shaving light above the mirror with a pull cord but i want to change the light to a one that doesn't have a pull cord how will I do it ? i don't have a wall switch for the light is just the pull cord at the moment ? Thanks

Out of interest mate, did you cut the wood in the airing cupboard or the trunking to make it fit?

Pretty interesting seeing the hot water system IN the shower. Is that common practice over there? Not sure it would fly in Australia
