Typical farm install.

Just to replace a socket.

First time I’ve walked away from a job. I’m not touching it until they agree to some upgrading.

Bet it was a nice one install originally when it was done.

I would be more worried about being invited to a place with that bottle of 'Superlube' in the foreground 🤣

Got a phone call the other day. I’d repaired a cable which I think I posted in this thread a while back. It was next to a gas boiler and had exposed copper.

Anyway they had a plumber out as the boiler needed replacing.

Said plumber told the tenants that the repair was dangerous as it should be in a junction box. 🤔 So they rang the landlord who then rang me. Spoke to landlord and said I’d go and take a look but can guarantee it wasn’t a dangerous repair.

Photo attached of the repair I did.

Each conductor individually crimped, the cable is double heat shrink covered. And it was clipped back, I just pulled it forward to check it (and get a pic) and clipped it back again.

Can anyone explain what’s dangerous as I’m at a loss? 🤷🏼‍♂️

I did tell the plumber to stick to pipes and leave the magic to me. 😂

He's probably assumed it's just been twisted together and taped/sleeved. I suppose it's good to be on the safe side. As long as he listens to you and updates his awareness then all is OK I suppose.

As long as he learns and doesn't presume that every in line joint is done to that standard and can recognise so.
