Does this conform to Building Regs

[telectrix]

it appears that the feed is from the right hand wall. i would have dropped down from the hole in the wall to a s/o directly below, then horizontally to the other points. cables would then be in prescibed zones.

This is probably another example of a job that's easier to get right than bugger up

Hi,

We are having an extension built and was wondering if it conforms to building regs?

You have had enough good advise about the work,now your turn

It is your responsibility for the work to abide by building regs and the procedures for doing so

Have you enquired if the electrician belongs to a scheme where self certification by that spark can mitigate your responsibility?
or have building control been informed that the work needs to be tested and inspected

Dependant on whether full plans approval has been gained and incorporates the electrical work,fees for the electrical inspection will need paying for that inspection
Be warned,if inspection was required and the cable is not visible for that inspection,the routing would have to be exposed to allow that inspection to go ahead
It would be a shame if near completion the building inspector asked for this to be made available

2 options.

1. get him back to put it right.
2. sack him and get a competent electrician in.

Hi,

We are having an extension built and noticed the electrician has laid ordinary wiring that will be cemented over. I have attached some photos and was wondering if it conforms to building regs?

It is crap. Get him back to rip it out, and redo it once the cement is in. He can then come out of the existing wall, run horizontal to the sockets across the walls. Then it will be compliant.

Cheers...........Howard

Tell him to stick a socket next to the doorway too, because where the cables come through from the house its not a prescribed zone at the minute.

What wrong with clipping or capping it to the wall?

Dot a dab will cover it so no chasing needed.

Its as though he was short on cable too, --- the cables look a little tight at the bottom of the drops.

Give us all a laugh and tell us his name HA HA!!!

 

[ezzzekiel]

you really shouldnt be telling him how to do his job - get rid and employ someone who knows what theyre doing - if hes done that whats everything else like (especially testing wise)

 

[needasparks]

I bet its not the first time he's done it like that either or the last. If it was me i would wait till its finished hold payment then call his governing body and make him put it right. But then i'm like a dog with a bone when stupid chancers try to have me over.
I bet the OP is paying a whack for it also. Only way to teach them in my book.

oh well....never mind..! hehehehehe!

 

[telectrix]

can't see anything wrong with it..... in romania, albania, croatia, outer mongolia, but over here, where we don't eat dogs and read regs.......
