Hello,

I have an electrician installing a new light and ring circuit for a loft conversation. He has joined the cables using block connectors which are in turn covered with electrical tape. Some of the earth cables are exposed. Could someone please tel me if this meets UK regulations.

Kind regards

Asosoon.

P.S. I'm not an electrician.

That is absolutely disgraceful work and is not the work of a competent Electrician, as westward just said stop them from going any further and get a decent guy in while it's at the 1st fix stage.

Totally agree with Westward10, the people that did that work need prosecuting scandalous work, he sure as hell ain't no Electrician, or if he says he is he needs to give up PDQ.
Stop the work and get a decent Professional in, may be able to salvage some of the cable, I hope you haven't paid this guy any money.
