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

This is what happens when a kitchen fitter jams four 2.5 cables into a single socket! It didn't blow the 30 amp rewirable fuse, just kept going bang from time to time!

That's similar to what I said!

had one the other week. kevin fitted a wall cupboard in kitchen, drilled int socket cable directly above socket.bange in a rawlplug and screw. ....

"screw is live , love. i've stuck some tape over it so it's safe"

FFS. took me 2 hours to remove cupboard, cut and joint cable, refit cupboard.

"now it's safe" sez me. "£90 + £10 materials. knock that off kevin's bill".

It’s only a TV point. And someone’s marked a new place for it, on the wall

Not a tv point. It’s a flex outlet plate. (Controlled by sfcu above)
I moved it over and changed it to a socket.

is cable still in a prescribed zone? if not, chances are kevin will miss it with his drill/nails.

Chasing a bloody IR of 0.08 all day. Eventually found this, boiler had nicked the neutral when fitted aswell. Sorted it out and then had a reading of 0.14 ? found a RCD spur shortly after. Now 999MOhms all good. Had to do a joint in the old yellow insulation in shorts, looked like I’d been swimming when I came out

I think there's been a few of these posted, one from this morning's EICR:



Plumbing on this recent second floor flat is all in plastic, but it would have been a shame not to connect the bonding cable to something ...

Went to fit bathroom downlights this morning... plumbers there doing the wet stuff.

“joiners been and put up the new ceiling”....

one of those easy clean plastic board things. I have a quick look.

“so where’s the cables?”

“in the attic? The joiner poked them up”

Right..... so they’ve been without lights in their bathroom all weekend..

I’ve pulled them up into the attic. They were jammed between ceiling and plastic
