Hi.. Yes safe isolation as always !

I assume they just put 3c and earth there and left it until the fittings arrived then realised they did nit need a core..

So is that still safe?

You say you will perform safe isolation, then say you are to assume certain things. This is contradictory.

No qualifications listed on profile, but says he will carry out safe isolation, I wonder.

I assume as I was not the electrician ?

How do you intend to carry out safe isolation? do you have the appropriate test equipment to do so?

Sorry wonder what ?

I thought this was the DIY forum and posts where supposed to be helpful? I am not a fully qualified spark, but work in the industry, and have just completed my level 2.. I know how to safely isolate a circuit to be able to work on it.

Yes

My point was that assumption has no part in safe isolation.

I agree, but there was no assumption regards isolation.. only what the Electrician had been thinking regards using 3c cable.

as OP has completed level 2, this is the sort of small job that is beneficial to his progress. think useful advice is preferable to negativity.

Perhaps if you had mentioned you were training and had just completed your level 2 instead of just putting "none" as your qualifications you would have had a more responsive reply, I personally don't believe in giving DIYers tech advice, and when you said safe isolation of course, judging from your profile it looked to all intents that you thought safe isolation was just switching the circuit Off. I wondered if you knew what you were about to attempt.
