Dodgy Dave has been doing the rounds again. These are all in the same place. Where do I begin can fit your finger through every one of the holes on the top surface no protection for the cables entering the bottom or the side dodgy set up where that 2.5 t&e’s nuetral feeds something else in the CU god knows why old heating box tails enter two different holes unused holes in the old heating box that you can stick your finger in random unprotected joint down below CU.
Oh and the MCBs etc haven’t been fitted correctly so there is half a device’s width at both ends of the CU with no blanks aaaand a lovely pokey up bit of uncapped busbar just waiting to zap you if you try and reset your tripped lights in the dark and put your finger through the hole. What a mess...

Wonder if it's one of those exploding fuses too ? (Item on Fake Britain today about fuses without sand that go off with a proper pop).

During a rather cut down condition report I noted one of the emergency lights wasn't working. On investigating I didn't imagine this would be the reason. It looks like someone has replaced the battery in it recently too.

That's classed as safe compared to most things we see and hear on this forum.

Just a good job it is housed in a plastic enclosure...

Maybe someone had a score to settle with the usual electrician?

Flex from a socket inside the garage, no fused spur protection and no earth connected in the flex, to this switch outside the garage feeding an outside light. The switch is mounted on a 1G KO box with no grommets and open holes. The neutrals were twisted together and wrapped in sellotape.
