cheers, i made a point of returning home to grab the regs..!!
543.3.2
last paragragraph!!!
you want to know the reason now dont you!
well my parents are having the bathroom refurbed and the plumber (hate plumbers who think they know electrics) has fitted 12v spot lights (which i obtained for parents ip65 90min fire ones) a ceiling fan (once again i obtained) a shaver point , spur for underfloor heating and also smashed a hefty hole to fix a back box for thermostat....
so far
no earth sleeving to any of the earth where it has been terminated on any of the items
no grommet fitted to metal back box of shaver socket
cable sheath stripped back WAY TO FAR and is not terminated inside the back box of the spur or the thermostat
cable for them items not proected from mechanical damage nor are they 50mm deep (impossible) and he has not even considered a 30ma device!!
shower currently has NO isolator other than the main switch at CU (it is however 30ma protected)
i upset my parents by telling them that i will report the person if he does not correct my findings so far! (think he is working under another guys registration number interesting to see the certificate name)
after getting parents to see my side of the argument they now fully back me and are going to confront him tomorrow..!!
WHY DID I NOT DO THE WORK??
as im not a fully registered part p spark and i belive the laws are there for a reason i wont touch it,
and plus i work a job as well i would not have the time to do work around the plumber! really wish i took it on now!!!
any ways rant over what you think!!! oh and my Elecsa Site assessment is now scheduled for 5th FEB!!! good old cancellations!!!!
