Outstanding video. The ‘Big red flag’ finished me 😂😂😂😂😂😂

"more crispy than a ginger at the beach" - OMG!! I nearly pissed myself!!

Its so good to see confident young professionals (you Cory) in the system who push the boundaries to do their best work. So well deserved Cory and good luck in your new location and wedding 👌

A very healthy reminder of why one should take great care when terminating connections. Yet an amazing ØY episode!

Hats off to you for having the bottle to up sticks when you have a network in Cambridge. You'll be back up to the same level again in no time!

I love that magic trick when you tapped the fuse out!n😅😂. Stupidly of UK installations without mandatory isolation switches makes electricians resort to magic tricks 😢

Great episode Cory. Good for you, doing what you want, when you want, where you want. Bournemouth will have loads of houses in need of bringing up to a more modern spec, and older customers that are wary of kitchen fitter sparks. Once the word goes out how meticulous and honest your work is, you’ll have a full diary in a few months. All the best, Ian

More crispy than a Ginger on a beach 😂😂😂😂

Congrats on the move Cory, you'll be fine ! Just had a thought, I hope Ted finds his feet, he looked up to you and you gave him his start. He was probably gutted when you moved on. Great little apprentice.

Your videos have been motivating me to do my own electrical business in the future!

Good on you for not reusing those awful splices! A lot of people would just to save money. I'm glad you realize that some things are more important.

Flippin' brilliant as usual mate. This sort of honesty & integrity is what our industry needs 👊

Many people no longer take the time to check their installation properly and that's what annoys me the most in this job. Our profession is one of the most dangerous in the world and can have immense repercussions on the lives of many people. Fire, electrocution,... so many things that can be easily avoided just by testing properly. All this just to save more time, money by playing with customers' lives. They make me hate my work 🤮

Great job and top banter as always! Good luck on the new start!

Hey Cory, you should start uploading some UKposts shorts. You deserve more recognition as you are the best electrical channel on here! ❤

Well done on everything you're doing you're genuinely inspiring good work 👏

Love Bournemouth and Poole. Good on ya fella! Get ready to enjoy the summer! Fancy a beer or two in September when I’m down?

The annoying thing about this kind of work is that they get away with it time and time again without being held accountable. It's the British way to let them carry on and just pay someone else to rectify it.

Bad place to pause 🤣. Respect the move man its something ive considered for a while. Definitely will be far happier as a result im sure + contracts on the wedding!

Given the increased loading being seen on domestic properties, due to the installation of EV chargers, solar and heat pumps etc, it is likely that burnout connections will become more common place. Working in industrial, it is already a fairly common fault to find as the higher currents tend to expose them better.

I assume this is way more common than we actually realise. The only reason it was found early enough is because the customer was on the ball! I can see the use of AFDDs becoming the norm for this type of install soon purely down to the amount of load they demand!

Hey Cory, welcome to the south coast. Your do well in the area as your work is 1st class. Hope you invited Jordan etc to the wedding evening lol. Good luck for the day and the new adventure. Good surf around too when windy.

Hey Corey! I’m just down the road in Southampton! So if you need a work contact get in touch! Fellow spark here, albeit boring domestic construction 🤩 you won’t regret being by the sea! Life is great

15:44 I love your silly humour just as much as I love your witty one!

nice move cory! 😊 you'll look back in a few months and it'll be like... god! i had such a quiet landing here, now im like busy beyond heck! 😊 thats bril! now off to the surf!! 😂😂😂

Great job love the work you do. Well done for fixing such a shabby job.

Another excellent vid, Cory - scary how bad they previous install was, esp given they charged top whack for it! Congrats in advance of the wedding! 🎉

Congratulations on escaping Cambridge!

Looks to me like that terminal was left completely undone. That’s one thing that frightens me, I check everything 3-4 times and even then it bothers me that I might have forgotten one.

That windscreen wiper transition 🫨

Great vid love the banter 😂 where did you get those tag/seals from?

Thanks Cory

i do like listening to ur rambles

Great work Cory. Many congratulations on your forthcoming wedding, she's a lucky girl.🍾🥂 I admire so much the fact that you happily just up sticks and make a change without any hesitation. Good luck with the new location, I'm sure you'll do well wherever you go on word of mouth alone..👍

I can confirm Cory that you’ve definitely said NOOTRUL correctly there thanks for the translation.

Flott video som vanlig :) og gratulerer! håper dere får et fint bryllup! 🎊🎊

I love the UK braker boxes, the metal ones. They are very good in case of melting brakers or bad contacts

Some top gags in this one Cory, nice work!

Great video! I also hate them tail clamps! We’ve had to start installing fire suspensions strips in Matt:E and EV boards due to too many poor installs after having fire in Matt:E box overnight.

The thing is how would a customer protect themselves from this. From the video Cory mentioned the customer didn't cheap out on the install, so you hope you would get good quality workmanship in return... Are there any tips a customer can follow to make sure the work they are getting is OK? It sounds like in this case the certificate had no test results on it, so that's one thing to look out for...

I think they have large circuit boards in Europe as they use radials which are 16amp at the breaker because a lot of their plugs have no fuses as we do in the UK.... I may be wrong, i'm a joiner, but that is how i understand it. I go to sweden and they sometimed tell me not to put the toaster and kettle into sockets next to each other, or not turn them both on at the same time 😮 otherwise it trips the breaker..... No such issues in the UK.

So, Jordan told you to get out of Cambridge 😅

We're moving into a place that had a fire in the kitchen, this was after we had put an offer in and the previous owner had it all "sorted" via her insurer, new kitchen, full repaint and new carpets throughout. Now imagine my surprise when it turns out that the kitchen circuit (just a 20A radial for everything including an electric oven) trips the RCD. Taking the cover off the distribution board shows a fair bit of smoke residue on everything, and really is something that should have been replaced as a just in case. Turns out there is a fault between the cable that comes from the distro to the kitchen and the sparky we got in cannot fathom where all the cabling is going (for example if you power up the circuit from the one side that will not trip the RCD you get the sockets that side plus the utility room working but not the cooker hood that's on that side). Ended up with the old feed from the distro being ignored and it being wired as 3 16A radials, left, right + utility and oven. There was also a mess of round junction boxes behind the oven unit and the kitchen sockets have been fitted fairly ham-fistedly, with filler/silicone used to fill the gaps between the socket and the tiles. Also interesting is that the utility room had sockets for a washing machine/tumble dryer yet it has a shower, that got replaced with a couple of switched/fused spurs. Also interesting is despite it being a radial there are two sets of 2.5mm feeding the outlets in the utility, though it's unknown what the other one is for as there is nothing else we can see that it feeds.

Freedom or Money? I'll take free money 😂 All the best Cory. No doubt you'll make a big success of the move.

Good lad for moving to my hometown! Couldn’t have moved to a nicer coast line. Enjoy the lifestyle and Bournemouth! Any local advice/tips gimme a shout 🥳

Hats off to you Cory is dose not matter where you are in the country you always do the Best job and congratulations on getting married in two weeks.

Nice Job 😄👍 I was just wondering do you have to use a Rcbo that switches off the live & neutral on a car charger installation?

Reckon you're doing the right thing Cory. When you're building a life together it's easy to focus on "sensible" career moves but in my view lifestyle is everything. We recently moved so we could be by the sea. I'm about twice your age and I wish I'd done this a loooong time ago.

"Don't wait. Do it now. Øy Electrical". I'd buy that t-shirt.

All the best Cory. I grew up in Weymouth.

Would it be worth going through the steps about getting the dno to come out and check/upgrade the main fuse? Just had a new board fitted and found out that the 100a service I thought I had was actually only a 60a 🤷 Thanks And good luck with your move to the coast 👍

Why isn't it mandatory for the DNO to install an isolator whenever they do any work on an install that doesn't yet have one?

That's bad work. I'm no expert electrician, but..... through the years, I've done electrical work on people's houses and never nearly set fire to someone's house through bad workmanship. I even got a bollocking for doing some electrical work on my flat even though the company that took the storage heaters out said the job was done better and tidier than their own electritions, lol. 😅😅. Well done, Cory saved the day.

Seems very common among EV and PV installers seen some alterations to the incoming supply that although I think it's too easy to pick fault with other peoples work just had to make the client aware of my professional opinion, great work Cory as always, good luck,

Nice work removing that rather haphazard installation, and making it good! Also, all the best for your wedding (although, its probably already happened by now), and hopefully you'll build a client and supplier relationship quickly in the new area.

Also cory potential issue with the choice of that fusebox RCBO is that it isn't a double pole switching, you need the miniature versions for double pole.

Ive never seen that type of tails tap in connection before.. Do we not use henley blocks anymore?

Don’t just say it Do it!

If you ever want to visit further south in Cornwall I live in Launceston, would be awesome to meet you as a fellow electrician 😎

I knew that trick....same old wise man😂😂😂

What a shocker! Great vid

Nice video mate, look forward to working with you now you are in the same area 😂

You could have put in an isolator during the fuse pulled period?

Great stuff. I don't think you'll have a problem and good luck to both. With in reason its better to regret something you have done rather than not done. If you have a non bs RCD protection in the charger which I'm lead to believe is the case, but one upstream what is the point of testing it. Possibly the PEN fault protection is the important part of the charger.

Lovely ukulele playing,good work also , noticed the cable cleats are upside down, the fuse box rcbo, is it DP ? Wishing you and your Norwegian partner a long & happy future together.

Great content Cory , Show this type of jobs & how dangerous it could have been and it not Something I could ever do . highlighting this on UKposts is spot on and Explaining this . l have lot to learn and it doesn’t help that some electricians are do this . they don’t care of the consequences., And all the best on your Big Day !! And could you do a in-depth video on your MILWAUKEE set up packout Storage,and tools , Thanks ⚡️👊

Could have ended badly that! nice work mate as always

Great vid Im also in Cambridge finishing my A-Levels and im thinking of moving somewhere and starting something cuz Cambs isnt that great XD

Just found your music gotta say defo someone I’ll listen to frequently 👍

Keep up the banter. Cheers from Holland. I mean The Netherlands, Eh Kingdom of The Netherlands of course (sorry Caribbean fellow countrymen). Norway sounds pretty good to me; lot's of (former Dutch) friends there (Bergen and Trøndelag area). Cheers, J@n!

Great VId. Looks like they might have put the neutral on the wrong side of the cable clamp, common enough especially with busbars, but your right 7Kw constantly will burn out the weak joint in weeks or months for sure.

Congrats on your move! Have followed you over on the other channel full of artisans. Hope everything works out over there. If you like Karaoke there is plenty of choice!

Nice vid Cory, glad to see you down here. Could be looking for a garage power and lighting upgrade soon if you'll come over my way, ust past Southampton.

Tlc electrical wholesaler next time?!?!😮😮😮

Awesome to hear your in Bournemouth, maybe see you in the wholesalers one day 😂

Great correction of some appalling work. Good stuff.

Isn't the SWA earth not connected at 7:00? I mean there is a ring connector and a bit of green/yellow wire but is the other end connected anywhere?

Good luck and best wishes for the new business in Bournemouth

You will do well in Bournemouth. Nice place to live! Blue rinse brigade there lol. Coastline around there is lovely. Fair bit of money!! Get down sandbanks.

Really interesting. Thanks!

Welcome to the South coast, you'll find a great music scene down here.

Welcome to Bournemouth mate! As a fellow electrician of 30 years, I welcome you to our area.

Great video mate, looking forward to the content in Bournemouth. Out of curiosity should you not have installed an AFDD due to it being a HMO?

Fantastic video, great stuff. It’s bad enough bodgers installing EV chargers as DIY, but when it’s a professional job a customer has paid good money for, that’s a magnitude worse.

Does the RCBO not need to be be double pole? I thought Fusebox only did mini double pole RCBOs? Great content as always! Cheers

You do seem like a coast type of guy. Its the chilled outlook you have. 🌊😎🛹

Another great video cory, congratulations in advance for your wedding, please can we have a short video of it or if not a tune of you on your guitar, really enjoy your videos keep up the great work and all the best at your new location

All the best mate for both work and more importantly with the wedding I am sure you will smash it on both counts.

Excellent job/ video, best of luck in your new home, bet you’re just as good playing guitar as you are an electrician 🎸👏👏👏.

We moved from Bucks to Dorset last year and we are loving being walking distance to the sea. We are renovating and extending a property that currently still has its original wire fuse board from 1970, as you would expect we have found some very poor additions over the decades. We will be going for a full rewire, adding Loxone and hopefully solar and battery.

Those blue black splices, looks like SLIW54, are meant to be installed on utility poles. That's what they're called - overhead line splices. Whenever you see these things installed in a DB you know a dummy has worked on it.

Hi Cory I am your big fan bro

I'm not an electrician but dam i can do better than that. When I moved in I changed all the face plates of my sockets and I'm glad i did cause there were a couple loose connections in the back. well having watch Cory from artisan and a couple other youtubers plus everything i learn from my late grand father who was qualified, I have learnt how safety and a proper job are so so important. Needless to say My heating wasn't working either and i was waiting for someone to come out and fix it. The heating guy came out and basically said there is no power to the fused spur... knowing how bad the sockets were i checked the terminals on the fuse box... needless to say it wasn't even done up... bear in mind the person who left it in that state was qualified and doing the EICR... that just the start of what i found! There was exposed copper on the tails into the meter so the only ting protecting me from a shock was the 60a fuse. So I may not be an electrician, i may be a DIY'er but the difference is making sure you do a good job but most of all making sure everything is safe. Top work as always cory. So glad it was caught in time!!

Just realised you can see the installers installation label in the top left hand corner of the door.

A classic case of “I got a cheaper quote”

Congrats on the up-coming event and im sure she's a lovely lady.

Was it you in haverhill i saw a artisan van parked there regularly. This is going back a year or so .

Is that Jack Johnson seasick dream I hear? great video as always

In a way it’s a testament to the safety regs imparted to the manufacturers that this didn’t end up being way worse.

Need to fit a miniature Rcbo I’d going fuse box as it need to be double pole ?
