Nice bit of bodging going on here, what a mess, Kitchen Fitter's work??

Strange that they couldn't find a rubber grommet that shape

it is an established and reputable local builder I've worked with before. just can't see how he can get it sooo wrong.
yeah my fault, I only left him 20mm gromits.

---- sake, hope this isn't gonna turn in to one of them jobs.



I even left them a drawing of where the down lights were going.

I remember drilling a load of holes to pass conduit through brick internal walls one cold weekend in a stinking fish processing plant.

When I returned the next weekend, some wet pants had used them for his push fit plastic.

Push fit pipe is so easy to take out...

Do you know I actually thought someone had gone over the top with earthing, then my brain woke up, crikey that's awful

when you leave the builder knock out boxes and gromits.

I've seen this sort of s..t loads of times, its a case of the builder/plasterer can't be arsed to contact you about disconnecting the cables so they can be passed through the appropriate grommet holes (assuming the connector block was on before they installed the back box)

Forward thinking by another trade as usual! hence why I do all the trades myself these days!

Wondered what the other light switch was for in the hallway. Looked in the porch and there it was! Double socket fed from the 1.5mm feed which presumably fed a wall light originally. Also, only one fixing screw, no grommet, and thin flex to the socket itself. Lovely. Daz

Tut tut, no ferrels.

And the socket is broken in the top left corner . But hey ho at least they remembered to earth the soc..... and the sleeving doesn't cover all the cable.

 

[DPG]

I didn't think it worth mentioning about the broken socket but good point yes. The plug that was plugged into this also didn't have sleeved live and neutral pins - just to top things off Daz

Landlord had a satisfactory EICR carried out the week before I went to install a fire alarm. Nuf said
