I have to be honest and say I was expecting to see the nasties (having read the thread tile)however,there seems to be very little that would be overly concerning
There are installations out there that seem to have issues far outweighing what is on view in the pictures provided
I have read the thread and it has connotations with other fables I read such as "man did not set foot on the moon"or "the illuminati are hell bent on controlling this planet," (one world government)
Conspiracy theories abound and conspiracy theorists are ever ready to find motive where none may...
I notice the cables are run in slots rather than holes through the joists
The proposed burying of the cables,they are bunched together in a loom for plastering
There are possibly lots of procedures that may be questionable ( that may not be apparent in the video)but nonetheless they fulfill...
Registration to a scheme like the niceic will enable a person to self certify domestic installation for compliance with Part P of the building regs for notifiable work
Not being registered and doing the work differs in that the work is notified to the building control along with a fee before...
When I installed almost identical posts to the ones in that picture,they were secured to the concrete by drilling rather than being concreted in
I ran swa to a conduit box and flex up the post
Thomas,for future refer to your regs book for how to protect a cable when its outside zone,a example would be swa,metal conduit,greater than 50mm deep
There are ways and means to overcome all you are likely to encounter on domestic work
Reading the last few posts,it is not wise
I now fear the Iet will take up this combined fire prevention and power isolation strategy
We should be wary of giving ideas to the folks making up the think tank
There are different "accepted" methods for proving isolation for electricians
There is only one single 100 % assured means of removing all danger of never getting it wrong,its a little drastic so cover your ears
The person needs to earn a living in a different occupation
Its all well taking manufacturers instructions into account,that is as long as a linguist with expertise in English words for Chinese and Japanese infant school interpretations is on hand
He would need to explain exactly or even in most cases give some idea of what information it is they intend...
I don't think it has been mentioned but those cables may very well have been made safe by disconnection and the electrician be taping them up to stop corrosion
If that is not the case then the comments previous may be justified
I think solicitors check whether here has been a Part P notification
If there has been a notified job they then request the certification
If no job has been notified no cert request because its a unknown
Part P seems to be irrelevant except when there has been a notification made,no...
Its too easy to heap scorn on those electricians,they work their socks off for tight fisted companies
Given more time they no doubt would have less excuse for slap dash or be less informed on these jobs
I have to wholeheartedly agree with what was said by Leesparkykent
Commercial work with its inherent higher cost cannot be left to chance
Pricing of domestic and commercial has to be no comparison,a Quantity surveyor is a must as far as I can foresee
