Been called to a property today as cust has had her house rewired by a cowboy (issued a paper NICEIC cert, couldnt/didnt actually reg the job as wasnt even reg with them etc...).. Loads of things wrong, however a couple of items I would like a 2nd opinion on 2 points please as not 100% certain.. (Think I am right but cant actually find a reg to support??). Want to make sure 100% as cust and NICEIC will be trying to take action against last so called sparky.
1. Shouldnt Earth electrode/clamp have a cover box to protect connection/warning label (Earth electrode is currently installed under lounge carpet (Wedge of concrete taken out and underlay/carpet layed straight on top of). Surely this is not bloody allowed..
2. Also Shouldnt Main Earthing conductor run directly from electrode to either MET block/Consumer unit? (Currently conductor comes from earth electrode to gas meter then to consumer unit.. (Using main earthing conductor as bonding conductor for gas?) surely this isnt allowed)
