Why on earth didn't he A- check the dry lining box cutting area with a bradawl first to check for timbers behind or B - just fix the plasterboard back with a couple of screws and make the double box cutout an inch and a half higher- or lower ??
Instead of butchering the timber frame and making extra work.....

He hacked the wall to bits, when you can see the cable could have been easily fished.

I wonder how many people think that a Bus bar is called Buzz Bar because of the likes of David Savery, I did actually ask him a while back "whats a buzz bar" his reply was something to do with putting it in a**es.

Another one who bans criticism.

I did think he was a decent spark, but I've seen a few of his jobs that were far from decent his latest one where he thought it was fine to have no rcd on an outside light.

I personally don't think cutting into a noggin for a backbox is such a big problem in the grand scheme, if it gets the accessory to where the customer wants it. A lot of newer builds don't have noggins in their stud walls anyway.

He cut one more hole than was absolutely necessary, but you saw the state of the wall anyway, hardly a big deal when it all needs patching up.

The cable route in the vid possibly raises an eyebrow, but perhaps it will be >50mm from the surface.

I thought that , but once the wall is re-boarded with 12.5 mm board and tiled the cable will likely be 50mm below surface so no zone required

I also agree that chopping the joist is no big deal , more time consuming yes but he makes a nice job of it and the box has something nice to fix to...
