125a SWA JB! there a bit of polystyrene in the back of box and lid to stop it going bang

Not sure why the person who installed the fan didn't just loop the cable over the ceiling and through the hole in the back of he fan.

Called out last night, a toilet upstairs had leaked and come through some downlights. Removed the downlights to help them dry out and safely isolated the circuit. These downlights were only fitting last year and were not Fire rated, someone had also set up a nice beam for them to burn on and left all the splints of wood next to it in the ceiling to get a fire going. GU10 lamp, red hot.

Also no connections to the earths, all just cut off.

Done by a local spark.

That's not clever, he obviously didn't want to recalculate to get the down lights looking even.
He obviously didn't hole test with a pointy screwdriver either.

Ah that's one of them new fangled, Air insulated junction boxes.
Don't think they'll catch on myself

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Advised the customer whoever they get back to come back to refit the downlights and re energise the circuit to at the very least move this. But to redo all and swap to fire rated.

Surely this is compramising the building structure aswell, good 1/3 of the beam been taken out I think!

All photos sent to insurance company as procedure when carring out a job for them, so if they ignore my advice and god forbit they have a fire then they will have void insurance I guess.

This is exactly how they do it in the states. Would be considered normal over there. Granted they used a type of screw connector block on this job I was on but bolting lugs together wouldn't be frowned at either.

That's neatly done, even used colour coordinated tape.

No problem with the lugs being bolted to get her, as you said that's the way the Americans do things.
Seen it done over here too.

Just doing a quality check for a client at a bungalow "rewired" by other parties a few months ago.

 

[DPG]

Nice!

 

[SparkyChick]

Nice shades of blue and brown, where can I get that cable?

 

[DPG]

Out of interest, why were you asked to check it?

 

[westward10]

It is for a client who provide support housing. They have just taken it on and wanted a check on the rewire. That ring final is a figure of eight with various cabling dating back to the mid sixties at its oldest point but the rest is actually okay why they left it who knows. First impressions of board I thought this will be okay.
