I was thinking you would have screwd the tray to the roof joists. Still it's way better than before Nick you good job !👍

Good job Nick. I think your decision not to name and shame is the right one for the reasons you give.

22 seconds in I had to pause and double check what was hanging off of the wall lol. I like the tray set up in the loft. It's neat and tidy, it looks professional. High standards 👍🏻

Tray is absolutely ideal for lofts! Brilliant job. It keeps cables away from insulation. Good for shower and cooker cables which you don't want near insulation. Good for ring mains in bungalows too where you don't want to run in 4mm.

I think the tray is great tbh, keeps them all off the pipework, miles neater and for the sake of about £35 in materials it looks a million dollars 👌🏼 lovely stuff mate

Uni strut used everywhere in the states, end of the day comes down to the installer and how he wants to install the job! Nice one mate!

Thats a good idea with the tray in the loft, clean tidy and presentable. Great job guys

I'm not an Electrician but your videos have helped me identify some pretty serious problems in my own home that I'd have been completely oblivious to otherwise. Keep up the quality content Nick! and thank you for helping me keep my family safe!

Not sure I've ever had a tradesperson clean up after themselves, let alone hoover a loft Your workmanship is fanstatic!

Love a bit of tray work. Looks 1000% better than before

Seems like Adam needed tray for his portfolio? hahaha

Now the customer can Board the loft without screwing through a cable. Great way of containing the cables fella way better than strewn over the joists.

Hi Nick, Adam and Joe, What a fantastic installation! Nick you work to very high standards and it shows. Always there to help the customer! You are a credit to the electrical industry! Take care, stay safe. 👍⚡️

Looks good. Personally I would've fitted pvc trunking in the loft for the cables

Houses should be built with commercial cable trays, service risers and adequate access to replace/rewire later as home owners need to be able to customize/upgrade and have additional sockets equipment installed. Every house I've lived in has made this next to impossible without gutting the building first. Very tidy consumer unit mate. Again I'd like to see commercial Distribution boards in houses like they have in U.S.A.

that garage ceiling looks like aib be careful

Nice neat board Like the tray idea in the loft area and the re route away from the pipes in the bathroom I may use your tray idea in future jobs Keep up the good work Great to see 👍

No matter what the job, it's down to the installer, I think it makes the job tidy and neat, all round nice job once again Nick.

Super clean tidy job. Like the tray work, should be more of that I think. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. :)

Would love to see this used more frequently

Totally approve the use of the tray. Makes sense. It's one solution. For the mounting screws to the bracket, usually fir that small tray I would use gutter bolts. They have large mush head, rather than bolts (hard edge).

Good job Nick.. its only overkill if you think its unnecessary,i have no problems using tray in domestic, the fact your client has had a terrible experience and you have successfully put there confidence back in using trusted tradesmen is fantastic .. well done mate

If the trays work for you -- making the job easier and neater, then there definitely is a place in domestic for trays. Congratulations for being free thinking enough to be unconventional.

Nice to see Nick. Keep doing it your way mate. Nothing wrong with or expensive about a bit of tray in the loft. Keep going

Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

Good call with the tray, much cleaner job than lashing cables around the attic!

Top job Nick so much better and the tray looks great. We'll done on not naming and shaming too better to keep your head up high

The tray looks neat and does the job.

I've used basket in domestics in a loft, screwed to the rafters, just lay it in bing pot done👌 good man Nick.

We're in the process of stripping and rewiring a 70s Edinburgh house as part of a larger renovation. We chose to do basket on unistrut and ran straight, vertical runs of oval trunking down to accessories as much as possible with a view to making any future changes easier. So much nicer than clips to the rafters to be honest

Great job Nick, you can never go over the top with cable management.

yeah liking the tray and it does seem ott but so what its supported and neat and tidy. Nice job.

Tray looks good, low cost too. Ideally smash it onto the roof to make it quicker to install. Looks good and allows for full installation of insulation, without cable concerns 👍

1000% better congrats on excellent work

Ha ha ha love it massively over engined with the tray work, screw what others think I love it lol. How the hell did you get the customer to agree to the tray price 🤣😂🤣

Fantastic job chaps!! such a neat job kudos

Job well done and if anything Needs adding, the Owner will have you back in a Heartbeat by the looks of it. Very professional looking work with the cable in Channeling. I support your Thoughts on not Naming'n'Shaming in regards to a Employee maybe loosing their job, maybe a Different case if it was the Owner dropping the Name. Could be that the Sparky before just doesn't have any Pride in His job like you do and/or just unhappy Employees that Don't care either. Your offsiders look like they Appreciate you as a Boss and Teacher. I used to be a Trades Assistant (I can't Spell fridge but I can lift one) for a Sparky and He was absolutely Meticulous with his Work standard of making sure the Job was routed correctly and was done in one Run without Joiner-boxes. I had to pull out a 50+mt run of Cable once and find a better route as it came up less than 20cm shot of what He wanted. Tough Boss but He paid well.

Great idea on the tray 👍👍

In modern houses tray is completely the standard. At least near the board. Seen houses with around 50 cables going into the board and this was just a 140 square meters(but high standard house). Without tray that would have been a giant mess

Who cares if it's overkill. Like you said it's your job. Personally I love the stuff.

The tray work is for effect surely ive done hundreds of rewires never seen or heard of anyone fixing tray in a loft on a domestic job

I like the tray, and go that way when it's within budget

I like the trays, looks very good man!

Another top job 👌👍🏻😎 tray work in the loft is a great idea. Not only does it protect it from the pipes but future cables could be run on it. Totally understand about naming and shaming nick I had some really poor workmanship when we had new windows and doors fitted. Ended in him not coming back. Didn’t name and shame but I could of as I found out after we were not the first but I didn’t for similar reasons 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.

Fantastic! Great Job!

Cracking job Nick, be careful with garage ceilings and under stairs boarding - definitely looks like asbestos. Keep safe mate.

I think it's a great idea with the tray. It's in the loft, who else is going to see it? A plumber and another spark down the line and the customer . It's going to look way neater than spaghetti junction over the floor. 😎

You good job. Well done guys this is how you do rewire.

Should be used more often. Good job as usual. 👍

I would have used a bit of flexi, but I guess the tray works too. 🙃😉 Haha no really, looks great! Personally I like the look of the tray; Nagy did a few videos a year back of some tray work in this modern loft-style remodel and I thought it was a great look. But I'm also sat here on a Friday evening with a beer watching some electrician on UKposts, so maybe I'm not quite right in the head...

Hope you have done an asbestos awareness course. That garage ceiling was either cement or an insulation board that would likely contain asbestos. Quality workmanship 👍

1 million percent better well done The Bundy Team

God I wish all electricians put tray or basket in lofts. Makes adding circuits lights etc easy

T fuse board wiring looks neat 👌

Having just moved into a new build, I wish there was trays in the loft. Damn that looks neat, keeps it out the insulation and visible when I'm moving around. Did the ethernet myself with 40 ports being wired up and used plastic trunking, wish I had thought of and done this.

Well I was an electrician in Cambridge and London for many years and although not really cost effective I like it! Keeps all the cables tidy and out of the way, knowing what happens in lofts, wonder if rodents will still be able to chew on them?

Just screw the tray to the rafters or ceiling joists in future. Its all good!!

Like Fat Sam I've done a lot of metal munching. There's definitely a place for tray in a domestic installation. I personally think it's a great idea and you did a good job. Especially like the end caps on the uinstrut supports! The only thing I would pull on that is a few stainless steel cable ties on the tray would have made it perfect 😉

Nice job, tray is a good alternative I have used it in gardens on legs behind hedges where the customer does not want it dug in to avoid damage to the garden, also makes it easier to add to with additional outbuildings etc. Make you right about not putting yourself on offer with rogue traders cos that what that previous clown obviously is. Had similar where a friends daughter got took on by an NIC firm when opening a restraunt thought better of complaining as she could do without getting her windows stoved in one night so resolved it by other means.There are some proper shisters in the trade unfortunately

Look stunning in the loft and personally I hate the look of the PVC trunking 99% of the time so would prefer a bit of tray

Exactly, your job, your decision...👌 you good job! 😉

A young man with a very wise brain.... Slaggin off is a No no,.. Good on you Mate ... You know, Customer Knows... its enough... Back to your efforts.. : Very OTT in the roofspace using tray,... BUT , your job , your pride... Excellent work.

The unistrut legs as you called them are cantilever brackets , M6 bolts and zebedees (spring channel nuts)

the customer probably just didn’t want another shit job so he was happy to pay for him to go the extra mile and do tray i know if i turned up to a job looking like what it does now i’d be seriously impressed and to think how easy it is now to add cables

Always good to see alternative ways of doing things. I did wonder if it would have made things easier if the CU/DB had moved about a metre to the left, and then the cables may have dropped down from your cable tray straight into the DB, Obviously subject to the customers approval. Wasn't sure what other cables entered the DB. Loads of heating/water pipes did the previous electrician do the plumbing too? Great Video keep them coming Jeremy/Bullfrog

Agreed it looks really neat. And agreed it is overkill. My main concern is if the customer wants a loft conversion, working around that containment

Lovely job sir

I would love tray in domestic property. Would make it look a lot neater.

Tray is good in a loft like that as future circuit cables can be added easily and correctly

Look great! Compared to before.

Nicely done and a good looking job. I do like me a bit of tray now and again. For everyone saying that it's overkill. Yeah. And so what? 😀

Personally I would love to have seen tray work in my loft instead of the usual clipped to the rafters. If the tray work made your life easier/made for a neater job they it has every right to be in a domestic instalation. When it comes to name & shame, it's a very tricky one. You haven't actually been negatively impacted by the previous work as it wasn't your house, contract or money so its probably best to stay out of it. If the customer decides to name & shame, that's their perogative. The contract was between them and the company who did a subpar installation according the NICEIC. There is also a possibility that the company may be a pretty reputable one, but for what ever reason, whoever completed the work on this house fell well short of the standards usually worked to. Maybe a new employee who bluffed their way through an interview etc etc. Not making excuses for them - just trying to add a slightly different perspective. You have said yourself how you struggled with things when you lost your Dad and didn't do things as well as you could have. The spark who did this may have been in a similar situation but rather than poor customer service, they cut massive corners on the job. On the other hand, they may have just been a useless chancer who has no place rewiring a plug, let alone a house. Either way, i think it's probably best to stay out of it. :)

Looks great, but I know someone who sends a labourer up in the loft the day before and stops out the loft insulation and Hoover and cleans the loft to make life easier for them. Just one question could you have attached the tray to the joists at the top of the apex of the roof in the loft to make it easier for you to stand up, just asking as I know it would take a couple if extra meters but could it make it easier to work in. Work looks great and sometimes better to RIP out everything and then you can trust what you know and not hope for what they know. Great job

When forming a 90 degree bend for an internal corner make two 45 degree bends so it's not one tight bend . Looks better too

Another top job. Don’t see owt wrong with the tray keeps the cables tidy and out of the way if they put insulation down.

Good job

Also just watched the last bit of the video. We fit 4mm ring mains where they run through insulation. Did that apply here at all?

Nice work 👍 garage ceiling asbestos?

Nice job 😎

You can also get the cable tray in plastic too ...use both at work

Looks really good in the tray just wondering how much would tray work add to the price.

Another great video, I like the tray idea. What is your thoughts about when they outlaw gas boilers in a couple of years? Would it not be prudent to add extra wiring in rooms for the electric radiators and extra fuse ways for power to them , not much price difference in boards ?

Could you not of done all that in bundy conduit? 😂 looks great mate! Bundy10

You've done a nice & neat install Nick. The tray looks great.👍🏼 Personally I would've screwed the tray into the roof rafters but this way looks good as well.😊 I'm curious to know did you use any metal cable ties or were they all plastic?🤔 Over all YOU GOOD JOB - P.s. Have you seen Thomas Nagy's Storage/Office Unit?😂

Personally I think the trays over kill and it also needs bonding as its an exposed conductive part, I would've used some all round band through some copex screwed to the roof trusses with the cable fed through, then just clipped it to the brick work up the wall, neat job tho definitely tidied it up

Bit over board on tray must have put a decent price in to cover materials I struggle to get customers to pay for the basics

Nice tray job nick. Do you class it as an extraneous conductive part or not? Does it need a bond to it? Some will say yes others no. What do you think

that ceiling in the garage. the back side of it looks like asbestos

You good job

Have you pulled in new cables or re routed the cable?

I like it, The previous job was poor but I don’t think the loft help the previous sparky, weird shape meaning they ran everything down the middle. If they watch your video hopefully they can take those improvements onto future awkward jobs. Could you have not fitted some noggings and laid the tray flat across the beams? Thanks bundy10 always enjoy a Friday evening video.

Your allowed to run a 4mm2 radial off a 32A RCBO just limited to 75m2…. It’s in the OSG anyway lol

I think it looks smart

I wished they used tray or basket for new construction loft wiring. I expect the badger who did the original work charged a similar price to Nick too.😳

Videos are missing something!! Adam, come on Nick we need more from him.

Did you get that ceiling tested that’s in the garage? Looks a lot like asbestos board?

You should've run loads of kopex conduits to CU like you did before 😀👍

Everyone saying they would have used pvc trunking I completely disagree. Tray is the tits and it should be used more. All the cable is accessible and it looks a damn site better than pvc trunking that's gonna be yellow in 2 years

The only issue with the tray is the way it blocks access to a part of the lost. It looks great and I think it is fine for domestic. I am going to use some on my house. I think the access will be required sooner or later and someone might have to remove it.

Nice work but didn't see an earthing connection bond to any of your cable tray in the roof?
