PIR done by an electrician from SELECT on 12 January 2012. Appears to have missed this as there was no mention of it in his report, nor numerous other defects I saw within 2 minutes of being in the property. Client tells me they watched him put the electrical tape over it to cover the fuse and I believe them. The report is shocking (no pun intended).

If that just a sample of the PIR, he needs reporting to SELECT, that's totally irresponsible.

Ouch!

A scan of the report would give us much amusement.

That person needs taking off the streets - you have no option but to report his work.

Very shoddy (he could have at least used silicone).

If you used white & were a master shaper if silicone u could make it look like the original fuse holder.

nah. a bit if mini trunking lid and one of those spring clips, like you clip screwdrivers on wall fixtures in your shed, round the fuse.
