So a well respected local bathroom company takes over £20K off a local couple to refit 2 x bathrooms.
The well respected local bathroom company subcontract the sparking and from what I can see they:
1. Installed a new circuit to accomodate a couple of sockets, in the adjacent bedroom and under floor heating in the ensuite. The circuit is protected by a 32A type C RCBO and also has a RCD FCU "protecting" the underfloor heating.
2. A MWC was issued for the above but no notification and it took months of hassle from the client to come and test/ cert it.
3. New lights, a fan and an pumped shower were installed in the ensuite, which also had a wall moved and the switches/cables for the fan and lights are in the new wall. No RCD protection on this circuit. No certificate was issued and surprise, surprise, no notification either.
4. I've attached a "redacted" copy of the MWC protecting the customer and the numptie spark - who I don't think did the install, as I think the bathroom fitter did the install
I'm in the process of helping the customer word an email to the well respected bathroom company asking them to explain the shortcomings of their installation!
