I've lost the job, Dodgy electrician gets it

[Ib≤In≤Iz]

I had a call from a commercial landlord about 6 weeks ago who rents out a unit. There's a mechanics garage, hairdressers and hand car wash there.

He wanted the existing supply split up so every business had their own meter. So I told him as I'm very busy it would be a month or so before I could look at it and gave him a rough date this week.

Anyway I turned up today to have a look and it's already been done. I noticed this straight away.

Annoyed that he didn't have the courtesy to tell me and shocked at the work that has been done.

This is just a bit of it.

I dread to ask but what sort of connections lurk under the black gaffer tape ?
That's looking like danger notice time.

I wasn't happy at all.

That's what I was thinking at first "oh no"

Henleys, with covers taped on.

Turning up to "look" a month after the call isn't going to assist you ......

I'm busy but I go and look within a few days .......... unless the customer wants the job done next week!

I asked the mechanics if they noticed him testing anything "No nothing at all mate" I asked if they had an EIC "Not yet"

Why taped on - suspect he's broken them?

It looks like it.

Makes you wonder how much the "electrician" charged for that work and did the landlord only care about the amount on the bill? with no thoughts about safety or work quality... afterall the landlord clearly thinks in £ signs as he wants to be able to bill each unit the right amount... you get what you pay for

Could the OP go back and remove the black tape ?

We ALL want to know what horrors are concealed beneath!

I would like to but I think I have fallen out with the eastern europeans at the car wash by calling their electrician friend an incompetent idiot.

Oh yes I forgot to mention their electrician turned up 5 mins after I started criticizing his work.

Did he hear what you were saying?

Only if he can speak Cyrillic.
