New Electrical Install Question

[Asosoon]

Hello,

I have an electrician installing a new light and ring circuit for a loft conversation. He has joined the cables using block connectors which are in turn covered with electrical tape. Some of the earth cables are exposed. Could someone please tel me if this meets UK regulations.

Kind regards

Asosoon.

P.S. I'm not an electrician.

That is absolutely disgraceful work and is not the work of a competent Electrician, as westward just said stop them from going any further and get a decent guy in while it's at the 1st fix stage.

but if lights are b&q and manufacturers instructions say choc blocks and tape?????????

The guy is clearly not an electrician.

 

[Asosoon]

I feared it was the case. Thank you for your advice. I will try and find a competent electrician.

Totally agree with Westward10, the people that did that work need prosecuting scandalous work, he sure as hell ain't no Electrician, or if he says he is he needs to give up PDQ.
Stop the work and get a decent Professional in, may be able to salvage some of the cable, I hope you haven't paid this guy any money.

I'm in Mitcham.

as above. that is totally beyond the pale. bodged and dangerous. you need a qualified.competent spark on site immediately to explain what's wrong. stop any further work by these cowboys immediately.

Ok any members interested in helping out, please Pm Asosoon and come to some arrangement. Sooner rather than later by the look of that wiring.

That is shocking workmanship (if you can even call it that)

 

[Pete999]

I would be willing to have a look, but time and distance have taken theit toll, sorry

I think there is a few of us who like to be near Mitcham tomorrow to help, sadly I am not.
