Hi all not posted for a while been busy and going through a divorce:hurray:
been to a job today to fit alarm system, in a new build just been finished,
opened c/u to find neutral tails done in 10 x 2.5mm singles all crammed in and earth done in about 6 x 2.5mm singles,
these run for about 6 meters from isolator at the front of the house then through the house to c/u, can't see where or how they are run.

Then i go into the detached garage to find a 2 way c/u on the wall with 100A main switch, but i didn't see anything at the house c/u for garage, so after a good look around, finds the swa from garage going into an adaptable box at back of house connected to the back of a socket on the downstairs ring, and where the swa goes into the garage they have bent it at that much of an angle all the outer sheath as split,

so i asked to look at the cert for the house and they can't even get that right got the mcbs listed as 10ka instead of 6ka, so i am guessing everything else is made up,

the owners have had a word with the site supervisor and he is getting 1 of the electricians to come round and have a look, because he can't take another electricians word for it lol
