It is an such a credit to the Artisan Team that Ruben (apologies if I’ve misspelled your name) has really taken onboard everything he is being taught even down to the tiny details like chiselling the edge off the brickwork to ensure the cable is not compromised. He is going to make an awesome tradesman he already exceeds the workmanship of some of the “professionals” I’ve worked with. Lee is also a credit to the team I’m pleased he passed his probation period 👍 well done Lee 🙌🤝

Great comment thanks!

Another great video. Lee has turned into a natural in front of the camera. A great addition!

what I learned from this video is if you pop a brick, fit a big enough Wiska box to cover it ;)

Really nice to see Rubin expanding his skills and getting more camera time. He has come so far so quickly.

Lee and Reuben work well together .

I'm addicted to this channel. As a non tradesperson I'm thoroughly interested in what goes on when I task someone to do a job. I'd be really interested in seeing a video of a complete rewire. a few years ago I had my 3 bed semi rewired and was shocked (from a good point of view) that it was completed in 3 days including re-plastering any chasing out. I admit I completely emptied the house but all the same was quite impressed.

10:26 Have you noticed it's always the cameraman who comes up with the best ideas 😆😆😆

Lee is a good sparky, and Reuben is well on his way to being one too 👍

I vote "tool of the day" the spade. What a fantastic shovel it was and well done to the guy who was operating it. Reuben works well with Cory, Jodan and Lee. He's great little entertainer too. Fantastic work guys 😜.

well done guys, two professionals at work!

Great Job Lee and Reuben.

Come on Jordan sort Reuben with a tool kit, he is worth every penny you spend on him. You have a gem working for you.

Fantastic great to see how you’ve evolved and not frightened to put your name out there ! Well done .

Good job Lee! And you too Ruby 😉

Nice job Lee & Reuben.

Jordan, Please buy Reuben a tool bag 🤣🤣

Nice to see you around my hometown. Great job as always guys!

Another great vid, great to see Reuben getting to do lots more - very neat work 👍 I like the new wee Artisan Electric sticker on the charger too!

Another great job lads.Tidy,neat work.

Too be fair you wouldn’t expect two young guys to do such a good professional job :)

Great team work again

Nice job, love the look of those chargers!

Another nice job from the team :)

Don't forget the 150mm zone either side of internal and external corners. It's easy to forget and drill through a cable.

Crackin' good job lads!

Awesome video !

Nice work!

Soooo, are we going to talk about those sunglasses? 🤣 Great video as always gents!

Great video again .... still scares me using a hacksaw without gloves ... I've still got the scar when mine slipped while glanding ...it's there to remind me ha ha

Reminds me of the time a group of 5 of us pulled a 185mm 4 core armoured. 120m in the roof space of a slaughter house

Great vid as always. What's the reason to not install a mini cu/Henley blocks in the meter cupboard (assuming it's outside on a new build). Seems the easier option?

great vid as always, where did you get the little label heater, any links please. cheers should have made it tool of the day 🙂

Hey, thanks!

Think I would have terminated the SWA into a wiska box on the outside of the house then ran NYY cable in the trunking, make life a lot easier and means you dont have to have a stupidly sized wiska box. Also has the added benefit that you say the bigger trunking gives future routes however if there was wago connectors from SWA to NYY the cable could be pulled back through and another hole drilled without worrying about hitting your cable.

@arcadia1701e

2 жыл бұрын

NYY cable has no British standard and isn't recognised by BS standards, it shouldn't be used. A twin and earth would of been sufficient.

Where does everyone get their linian super clips from?

So I am a electrical trades student here in the USA. I have a question, why wasn't the cable buried in some parts but other parts it was covered up, and would that be up to code? I don't know really anything about that in the UK so I just wanted to ask.

9:36 I bet Cory would be though 😆😆😆

What brand of work trousers do y'all wear?

Any reason why you decided to take the armour all the way to the board? Wouldn't it have been better to gland into the box on the wall and take a flat twin and earth to the board using a much smaller trunking size?

Slightly surprised you did not put the cable through the wall at the charger side so no cable visible? Or is this not possible with the Anderson?

So how come you having to put "type A rcd" in?

Cool, we've left the food channelcrisis and came back to an electricians channel.

Would it not have been better/neater to bring the cable in through the rear of the Andersen?

Shame to have to use trunking. But I guess OTT to either chase it or hide under the cupboards

What pants do they wear to work ?

Such a big box for only 7 kW? It was not particularly beautiful to look at either. Had much rather gone for a Zaptec. Less than half the size and the possibility of up to 22kW and of course possibilities to put on more if needed.

10:10 should never stand on top of ladder. Need bigger step ladders. Great job though 👍

If the brickworks dodgy you have to match that because they’re not going to get the wall rebuilt just for the EV charger so it’s better to have it look right than say your bit is level but the actual overall install looks like shit

You can’t run cables in the cavity these days (BS7671) as it would (should) have insulation in there which would de-rate the cables, plus the cables may be out of their prescribed zones so if someone were to drill through the wall in the future then there’s the risk of hitting one

@@kevy427 where do you think all the cables for the property run into the consumer unit? I'm guessing in the wall in capping going back entry to the consumer unit. Had Lee decided to fish the sea down the wall and someone did indeed drill the wall on on the other side of consumer unit they have more to worry about that one SWA wouldn't you agree?

That external clipped cable is horrible! I would not be happy about that. I'm in 1st fix and have routed 2 x 6mm cables from consumer unit coming out the wall perfectly through the back of the car chargers. (I havnt even bought them yet I just downloaded the instructions so I know where to put the hole.) I was going to put them both put a hole at 750mm to start with but then I would have to have external clipped cables on my house!

Why isn't there an industry standard / regulation around where the fuse board is located when the house is built? Seems completely random most the time. If it was standised with a bit of thought in mind it would really help future proofing additions and alterations down the line, especially with the world needing to be more climate aware (eV, solar, etc)

How come you guys seem to be constantly popping bricks out like this? Mark the wall thickness on the bit with tape, and just turn off the hammer for the last little bit while drilling more gently... yes it adds 2 minutes to the job but I thought your USP was high quality work! :/

Why the hell aren't new builds putting 6mm cable in by default to a position on the drive for a charger. Honestly madness.

Maybe drill on spin not hammer ...

Hmm, lots of basic mistakes IMHO that shouldn't have been made by a premium supplier. Worst being brick blowout *2 (Unnecessary box used to conceal entry into house because of blowout). Cable could have been concealed in trench around the wall. Use of hacksaw near customers worktop - cutting should have been done outside where there was more space. OTT trunking.

Brickwork by a blind person - no pride in workmanship and the site manager should be sacked. Learn something from Artisan Electrics at the top of professional standards. Good work guys.
