Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Just think of them as forward facing ventilation holes. Another thought, it also allows you to probe them without removing the cover, convenient.

most of my work is in industrial control, I see so many contactors, it took a moment to realise that they were accessible to "normal people"

I must admit I also had to look at the photo several times...

The photos below were taken last week inside the attic of a property in Glasgow. These atrocities are typical of what I expect to find, and usually do find, whenever I am called-out to jobs where Barry the bathroom fitter or his fellow muppet Kevin the kitchen fitter have been let loose beforehand. Barely a week goes past where I don't come across such poor workmanship.

How did you get into my attic, JK?
I'm sorry...I should have colour-matched the insulating tape to the conductors...

Looks like they kept the CPC though...

Ap[art from the lack of stand-off brackets, the poor termination of CPC, and the lack of any strain relief or other clipping...
not bad really!
Did you remove the insulation blanket or was it cut away by the installer?

They never bothered fitting an RCD either.

This is a tenement building. I don't think there was ever any insulation here to begin with!

Sorry, I thought I saw remnants of loft insulation in a couple of the pics!
Still, access looks quite good...
carry on!

You're quite correct ..... you did indeed see bits of loft insulation. I didn't notice any loose sections adjacent to the downlights which is why I think there wasn't much insulation up there to begin with!

Some thieving bastid stole it then!

When our place was built, they forgot to install the spec’ frost & pipe stat.
Young sparks turned up to install it. He was on the phone a lot, apprentice think he was struggling how to connect it. I was gonna help, but the mrs told me to keep my nose out. He was pleased as punch, when he left. Heres the end result (cant rotate the pic on my iPad).
