The Ghost

This is fed in 2 core 4/6mm (not positive) SWA. No earth except a bit of 2.5mm (blue sheathed with earth) on pirhana nut to earth bus bar. An atrocious install technique all round. The landlord did it. Swearing heartily at the spark who did not finish the job. Wrong MCB for the 2.5 on two of them. All radials serving a kitchen (commercial) Was called to inspect (not EICR) to give an opinion on the state of the installation. No certificates by the Landlord or Electrician who put the supply in (of course) This type of wiring evident throughout by the way not just the kitchen I was looking in. I mean a Landlord who cannot and should not install electrics commisioning ccts with no tests. How may laws is he breaking. Where do I begin with the clients? I am speechless at the moment. Ideas? I just can't decide wtf to say to them. Did Zs and RCD tests all met regs, tested all the points. You can see 32a mcb on 2.5 and 6a on 2.5 supplying four double sockets feeding 2 x 2kw induction hobs, bain marie and so on. I'll stop there for now.

Well yes and maybe no, I hope. If yes then all my hard work and experience and qualifications can be dismissed as nothing. Or if no, then when I or anyone achieves membership of a scheme, it can be regarded as bona fide proof of my ability to operate electrically. It is such a shame that this is brought into doubt. But you do hear of this more than we should. /Sigh!
Don't do yourself a misservice mate youre one of the good guys.

Do the dwellings and commercial shop share a common supply? If the shop has a separate supply Part P does not apply.
Yes shared supply, one main board with others fed off same cut out to sub boards for the flats, was one of the things I checked when there. Its quite common in Bath to find the upstairs flats sharing the cutout with shop or offices below. Comes from all the conversions back and forth over years, slowly they are being put on separate cutouts.
 
Wonder why the original spark didn't finish it? Bet it was because the landlord wasn't willing to pay for a proper job.
