Bloody hell, that's accurate! What did you do, print the picture and scale it off the door or something?
no but we could run a book on the nearest

Also given how its clipped, would like to see how that garbage called capping is fitted over it. No way has a spark done that work!
I'm no plasterer but I could cover up any track with cable in it without wrecking the cable. Anything from 1MM wide to 100M wide, no bother. Willing to try my hand at wider too. Not exactly the point though is it? That cable needs protection from the plasterer. Capping is garbage, I don't know how anyone can use it and be happy with it.Any need for capping in this instance? Whoever makes good isn't going to be jabbing their trowel into the chase (I hope!)
sadly folks this was indeed done by a fully qualified sparky... There were 2 of them who came. They were recommended by a local letting agent who sends them to all their properties to do jobs apparently...

Stupid thing is, it's really not far off being compliant!
If the vertical chase behind the door was about 3 inches closer to the corner and the horizontal chase above the door was 3 inches higher, it looks like it would be fine!
Ha Ha! I’d put a fiver on the centre line of the over-door chase being 280mm from the ceiling (ignoring the cove). Losers PayPal cash to the one winnerno but we could run a book on the nearest![]()

safe zones on walls is basic for any electrician qualified or apprentice. Good luck!
Well folks I have spoken to my local building officer who says the work is a shambles and does not comply with relevant regulations. I called the electrician and said I wanted the work re-done. He said he would think of a day when he can fix it and call me back which means he will ignore any future calls from me. Will need to get someone else in to fix the mess. What a nightmare
Don't forget about the option to use an earthed sheath, or earthed conduit or trunking.If the installtion is less than 50mm from any surface it must be either mechanically protected or have additional protection by RCD, looking at the picture that is posted some of the wiring is zoned some is not, zoning is vertical or horizontal the switch and 150mm from the ceiling and the angle of two walls
Do you know what scheme they are registered with? Elecsa, Napit or NICEIC.
If you do maybe you should send copies of your photo's to the appropriate one for their comments.
No RCD protection is only an option, if the cables are in prescribed zones.would still require RCD protection if outside of prescribed zones.
We should be mindful when we only get one side of a story.
