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:

That looks like the socket was there first and they've introduced "period" style skirting boards and never thought of the heights.

That almost makes more sense. For a certain definition of "sense".

But if the socket was there first, why so low? The skirting board is only about 20cm high.

Commercial Kitchens

Nightmare for dodgy electrical work.
Ring someone different everytime there's a breakdown or they need something changing, usually don't care who it is.

Yeah not too obvious from photo.
Singles in flexible conduit which crosses other conduit, and serious lack of saddles, also 3 routes to same place. 4 circuits running through EM light too.
Basically it couldn’t be tidied up without removing most of it and starting again.

Ahh i see thanks for the heads up, always good to be pointed towards details that most miss.

Yes that is either 1mm or 1.5mm in the socket, no we won't put in a spur for a 2KW water heater

Is that a worm in that food jar near the socket????

It is made of glass if it is!

“We don’t want the board changing. We just need the safety certificate for it.”

Short of missing a cover, I can’t see much wrong. ?
A sheet full of C3’s but there may be other things lurking behind the cover.

Is that white flex connected?

You mean a shower on a 5A circuit?

I suppose it might just be a turbo pump with its own RCD...

I'm sure it is just "resting in the fuse box" and anything else would be an ecumenical matter

It's not resting,
'E's passed on! This flex is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'im to the CU 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-FLEX!!

Flex still live, shower cable is live too so not sure what that’s connected to yet. But there’s a 7.5kw shower working off something ?

I only nipped in to see what I’d be dealing with as got the call on way to another job and was passing.

Told them I’d be back to do a full EICR as that’s the only way I’m putting my name to any certificate.

 

[littlespark]

Flex is live???!
I hope you stuck a wago box on the end of it in the meantime.
