My house has a fuse box, no breakers of any kind. What would you
do if
I
asked you to install a shower?

I would do the job to the IET regs as per my quote for the job.

Be more specific. Would you fit a breaker of any kind? What if I told
you not to bother?


I would do the job to the IET regs, that would probably mean RCD
peotection.

If you told me not to bother then I would not bother to turn up and do
the
job as I am not a DIYer electrician so I have to follow some rules.


Tough, you lost a customer then. Do as the customer asks or bugger
off. My house is fine with fuses now, just because I want a shower
doesn't mean I want the rest of the house changed.


Nothing tough about it. Electrician choose which customer they work for,
and one that wants work done outside the rules will get passed by anyone
wanting to retain their NIC membership.

And probably punch an apprentice in the ********.

I suppose I could let you do that for me if you caught him on Facebook
instead of working.


I have a vice in the garage.


I doubt you have vices anywhere else.
