Cowboy electrician

[Bob Geldoff1234]

I was called to a house where they said the fuse for the sockets kept blowing.They had kept replacing the fuse until it didn't blow anymore but now the sockets have no power!.

When i arrived to have a look they said another electrician had come out and in order to fix the fault had replaced the consumer unit! The sockets still had no power to them.
Anyway i had a look and found the house to wired in rubber cable.Obviously the blasting had totally destroyed the conductors blowing apart the fault and now was sat there with no power.

I turned my attention to the consumer that the 'electrician'(and i use the term loosely) had fitted.
Heres what i found.

He has used the old cotton covered tails and fed it through an unbushed hole with the red clearly digging into the consumer unit.

Also the main earth cable looked like it was only 2.5mm!

No earth bonding to gas or water.
Heres the inside.

Needless to say there was no certificate,no labels,no part 'p' notification etc.

I am gob smacked at the incompetence of this so called electrician.

What do others think?

why would you want to sleeve a neutral with earth sleeve, what is he using for the neutral then.

Blimey...I think whoever it was wasn't an electrician.

Fitted by a chancer just wanting to make some money the calling card of a real cowboy.

I think even a cowboy could have made a better job than that, should be strung up by the b**llocks for it. That puts someones life at risk.
