Either use a metal extension box or replace backbox with a plastic plasterboard back box!

it's taped not locked off at fuse box. That's my big issu

Stay strong, you can resist the temptation to switch that MCB on ;-)

If you don't think you can, ask the electrician/builder back to lock it off correctly.

FFS,this post is now getting like a murder on the orient express .

Havent read the whole thread, cables look 2.5, couldnt care how bad the plasterboarding is nothing to do with the electrics or NIC. I would connect that socket up, test it, certify it and take the bill before i left, you sound a nightmare.

Thank you for all your feedback. Now we've established there is a clear problem with the gap around the plaster board and the work is not finished.

I can now take this to my defence solicitor for the electrician's court case against me who is sueing me for the whole contract. Yes you heard that right. The builder/plasterer is sueing me for £5000 for unfinished work. The total job only cost £2000. Goodnight thread over and thankyou

I think you will find that the general consensus is that there isn’t an issue with the gap as you call it.

Where's that thread about nightmare customers?

Take a look at my post #71, I have already given you on advice of what to do.

 

[hoitytoity]

um, about £130 to get another electrician to finish the job properly. £130 I've already paid yep so it is a problem

 

[hoitytoity]

And just be clear I'm not a domestic customer if you are going to be that rude. This builder/electrician was contracted in at short notice forming part of an ongoing project. I'm an estate agent on the rental property market and they won't be used again and certainly not after the court case. The rest of the building work has been condemned by the surveyor.

 

[hoitytoity]

I personally think it is a poorly fitted back box plus it looks as if those conductors will need extending.

thank you

the builder is the electrician. I've said this about 4 times in the thread

That’s not the question I asked. I’m not stupid and have already read that the builder is the electrician.

um no, i have not said the builder was kicked off. I haven't said that once in my thread

More likely he’s walked off after having the misfortune of working for you.

but as a NICEIC electrician, he should know better and knowtheplasterboard is incorrect. Very worrying indeed

So now part of being an electrician is knowing about plasterboard. At least you’ve made me laugh once tonight but that is a pathetic statement.

Might not even be connected internally.

Probably doing them a favour tbh.

Estate agent, I’m out.
