Bathroom fitter , not an electrician

Had a customer who had a bathroom fitted, many faults, including, but not exclusive to no IPX on towel heater 60 cms from shower, without competent electrician, took feeds from spaghetti cables within the loft.

My thoughts on bathroom fitters...

As far as some of the work I've seen them produce... that's actually not too bad... there's not too much exposed basic insulation and not too many exposed live parts. The spaghetti nest, granted is a mess... but most of it has that grey stuff on it

Sorry to any bathroom fitters who don't do this... in general, I have a very low view of them because of exactly this kind of nonsense... and that's not factoring in any non-compliance/safety issues that could exist because well... who needs an RCD... I'm sure that BS3036 board will keep you safe

I'm sorry, but I have to completely disagree.

It's an absolutely brilliant job.

When it comes to doing electrics bathroom fitters are quite often in the same league as kitchen fitters the only difference is the amount of water in a bathroom can make it a lot more dangerous for the homeowner / user

The single insulation and choc block connectors floating in free space gives good heat dissipation.

What do I think...? . I think I love bathroom fitter / kitchen fitter / Dave down the Pub electrical work

As it keeps me in very regular work, sorthing out tripping RCDs, flickering lights, fans not working, dimmers not working, burned out sockets, cables fizzing in the walls etc etc

I spend at least 2 days every single week putting right sh!t electrical work , so keep it coming boys ( and girls )

Clipping doesn't look quite right

Ive seen gas and electrical work carried out by "qualified" people that has been terrible and dangerous ....

You can't blame the bathroom fitter for that! He didn't use any.
