More part P quality installation

[Welchyboy1]

Just arrived at a job today to change a CU, after bit of testing found N-E fault on upstairs ring, went up stairs and found this!


this was installed by a bedroom fitter, last week, the lady asked for some extra double sockets and one had to be moved in her bedroom which the fitter done before plastering, then was coming back to fit the bedroom units afterwards

he told the lady he was also a registered electrician(was part p elecsa), charged her £200 cash for this and it took him all day apparently!

i have not altered any of this before the photos this is as was installed!

he left the blue tape on the back box as he cracked it and said he would change it later

i ripped it all out and re installed it for her afterwards

it doesnt even look like he used new kit, i think it was old stuff from another job

Cant believe he didnt get the cable under the floor at least, and what a way to extend a ring circuit

Don't use biased sites to search for competent persons use Competent Persons Register | Home as this covers everyone and is not directed toward any specific organisation. (although I suppose you could use http://www.electricalcompetentperson.co.uk/ after 30 June 2014 for just electricians)

Unfortunately doesn't seem to list BSI registered competent persons , mind you I have always had plenty of work without being listed on such sites.

I have had three different ELECSA inspectors and they have all been knowledgable and helpful. The last one was very particular and went through EVERYTHING I had done on the job, CU move/change and lots of new sockets. He even crawled into the space under the stairs to look at the connections (Wagos on DIN rail) in a box where I had extended the circuits. I had removed the stairs to do the work.
