Non Registered Spark wiring NewBuild

[LED Lighting]

Hi all
Went to a Newly Built Granny-Flat last week on behalf of MK's Switch Exchange Program
Opened the CU to find

• spaghetti Junction,
• No Labels,
• Tails half out of Main Switch,
• 16mm SWA on a run of 50m
• SWA Armor not earthed
• PME brought over from main house
• 50A MCB and RCD protecting SWA
• 3 x 8.5kW Showers in Granny Flat - (Don't know why 3)
• No Bonding anywhere

Certificates:

• No Property Name
• Customer was the building company
• Ze results mixed with Zs results
• Non-Body Certs
• No Signature on bottom of Certs

Gave the Electrician a call - details found in designer section only - asked for his registration number - reply "C&G 2382 and C&G 2391 I think!"

Asked for NAPIT, NICEIC, etc - reply what are they!

He recalls wiring the house - he didn't know he had to be registered


Called LABC - their reply:

• No Building Control Certification
• No Building Control Notice for Electrics
• No Building Control Notice for Gas
• No Building Control Notice for Insulation
• No Building Control Notice for Windows
• No Building Control Notice for ANYTHING!
• Only thing they could find was Planning Permission which the customer applied for

Customer spent £85,000 for this build

Electrician is from Manchester Area - Worked down in Pembrokeshire, Wales on this one job
I don't know if I can post the name of the construction company or Electrician - MODs advise please

Lol who changed his name to spazz?

I have no idea lol

Another thing not apparent from that old thread, was that Trev was winding him up about the local officials at his (Nicholas's) Fire HQ, he had looked up their names on the net lol, we knew, but watched him bite.

A couple of posts appear to be missing/moderated.

It was funny at the time to watch him try and squirm his way out.

I actually quite liked Nicholas, as he meant well, just he was a bit Walter Mitty, and he had a bit of a thing for RCDs and Part P/ESC.

I’ve read some boll0x on here. This takes the prize!

Are all electrical contractors from Pembrokshire full of it?

I remember your identical twin brother Nicholas Owen also being from that neck of the woods.

This is on the home page of his website "Our Basingstoke Office covers the East of England including London and Leeds." I always thought that Leeds was up north!

 

[telectrix]

leeds was up north until recently, when glenn hammered in a huge earth rod, so huge that it altered the centre of gravity of the earth and now leeds is sub-tropical. all this because he wanted to wear his new burmuda shorts for work.

He has is location as Wales and also the address on the website is Pembrokeshire.

just reading through this little lot...:

the electrician doesn`t have to be in a scam membership...

its the property owner`s responsibility to ensure the LABC have been notified....

 

[GLENNSPARK]

and just reading the O/P....i got a distinct whiff of `you cant extend a PME`....

another slice of twaddle

 

[telectrix]

morning, glenn. :waving:

He sent it to me....


Some interesting data on there but I'm not into the personal pictures at all!...

 

[VoltzElectrical]

Like I said he is a retired electrician - Even he was discussed with the quality of work
He agreed to Isolation


Napit, MK and LABC also Advised Isolation until it had been fully tested by a qualified electrician

​disgusted?

 

[DPG]

​disgusted?

Careful, you'll be receiving PMs !! Daz

 

[GLENNSPARK]
