Just arrived at a job today to change a CU, after bit of testing found N-E fault on upstairs ring, went up stairs and found this!


this was installed by a bedroom fitter, last week, the lady asked for some extra double sockets and one had to be moved in her bedroom which the fitter done before plastering, then was coming back to fit the bedroom units afterwards

he told the lady he was also a registered electrician(was part p elecsa), charged her £200 cash for this and it took him all day apparently!

i have not altered any of this before the photos this is as was installed!

he left the blue tape on the back box as he cracked it and said he would change it later

i ripped it all out and re installed it for her afterwards

it doesnt even look like he used new kit, i think it was old stuff from another job

Cant believe he didnt get the cable under the floor at least, and what a way to extend a ring circuit

Holy ----, Wait till trev see's this , another one for the Campaign
 
That really is shockingly bad. How does the guy sleep at night :mad:

Probably quite easily!.
I think the thing is, sometimes you can't see how dangerous something is if your not an Electrician,so therefore leaving something like the above doesn't register on a pet mongs conscience.
 
Biggest problem is the bloke who install it, thinks he`s done a good job....that`s were the issues start.

Which is what I tried saying in #5
If they don't know what they are doing,then they clearly can't see that what they do is dangerous!

Trev just saw it and yes you're right.

I may start adding one each week to this thread, its becoming so regular
Welchy, don't just stick them on here as al they're good for here is giving us a laugh at what people think is acceptable. You know where I want these and the story behind them mate.
 
Possibly the biggest fool is the client surely anyone can see just by looking that somethings not quiet right. Not trying to be ofensive here but surely no one would payout (to one of us) if we had asked for money for that taped up shower of S**t

This is another example that can be sent to Elecsa along with the photos taken by UK Sparks on his thread. Don't suppose he issued a certificate?

Certs in post apparently, i dont know what its gonna say cause i was there to change the board and until then there was no bonding or rcd protection

It will probably be His 100 yard swimming certificate!
