Please Can Someone Tell Me if the Wiring in My New House Looks Safe

Deleted member 111456 · Sep 9, 2018

Hi everybody,

I have no idea what constitutes safe wiring but I thought some of the stuff around my fuse box looks a bit suspicious. Any thoughts, help and advice would be much appreciated.

This is an old thread peeps. Not sure it's going to help the OP replying to it. Mind you, might help other people who come across it. Clearly TG Gregory and Sons found it somehow.

lol

Come on @jasongregory . You have done 3 posts and 2 of them plug TG Gregory and Sons.
I'm surprised they haven't been removed for personal advertising..

We took a harsh stance on this kinda thing for too long IMO. Until we point it out to them more obvious than a line in the terms that nobody reads, they don't realise, it's kinda my fault I think.

I'm making an 'advertising on electriciansforums.net' thread as we speak. And we can link people to that then in the future. But right now it's not clear what our position on it is. Short of members saying they're all a no-go. Which perhaps was our position once.

So I'll let this guy off. He's only plugging a sparky business. It wont work the way he's doing it. But he wont know that until he tries? Dunno.

It's not hurting us short of pulling up an old thread. That's okay with me for now.

If he sold lights to sparks, I'd explain what the crack is. But he's not.

Thanks for the heads up though peeps.

Link to that in future lads. It's a sticky thread in all main forums.

That's the first draft. Pretty sure it's okay. Let me know if you spot something wrong in it.

I know it's an old thread but I can't see anyone pointed out the inc oming supply is going into a metal body. We had a similar thing and the DNO came out and replaced it pronto as they use insulated cutouts nowadays for safety reasons. This is not something the property owner has to pay for, as the equipment is maintained by the DNO.

There we go, that's why we allow replies to old threads.

If you spot a locked one (they were automatically locked at one point a year or so ago once they didn't get a reply for 90 days or something) report it and say 'open please' in the report and we'll get on it.
