I know mate, I liken it to an old style communist state where no one dares to contradict the official party line. When a training centre set up their stall on youtube I asked them if they would be prepared to have any of their trainees working in their homes. You should have seen the response, Stalin would have been proud.

hmm...the NIC `politbureau`...

Dear Forum – as previously stated send us the details and we will investigate.
There is no argument that the work is totally sub-standard but at present there is no evidence that this was carried out by an NICEIC contractor – we cannot investigate without details.
We have been honest and open and come on here to resolve an issue. I have asked for the details so it can be looked into fully and have so far received nothing.
We all have our views on the industry and the various bodies within it, but from what i can see we are the only provider on here trying to resolve an issue.
However, we do need your help in some cases.

Thank You

Dodgeing all other posts and just giving us the same old shizzle. Dont worry if people have a nasty injury, at least you have your £500 of us all.

i dont know if i believe this thread anymore , everytime i look at the pictures i cant believe it was a spark who done the install , the OP wont reply , maybe its a little white lie thats went to far

 

[ChrisElectrical88]

Maybe it was the OP's work and he wanted to know how bad it actually was?

Christ!

I'm one year left of my 2357 and done the regs exam and even I could do a better job
Dominic Littlewood needs ringing!

Possibly because there are laws which he could be seen to transgress by doing so. Possibly because this other guy has a reputation as a hard lad who will work him over if he thinks he's bad mouthed him publicly. Possibly because he's not 100% that the guy in question is actually responsible or whether it's someone masquerading as him.

Many possible reasons Ayjay, let's just sit this out till we have something concrete to go on eh?

Bloody Hell Trev !!!

That's an extremely well-written post .................. are ye sure yer a Sooth Shields lad??

So with my positive head on, does this mean that if we professionals report "other" sparks, the NICEIC will investigate and not say you can't unless the home owner complains?

Born in Princess Margaret (or was it Princess Mary, I can't remember I was just a baby at the time) hospital in Newcastle mate because of complications the aad doll had but dragged up in Shields definitely.

Well it sounds like the NICEIC ENGINEER is going to investigate this one if info is forthcoming and has invited you to report others. I assume they'd only be able to investigate their own members so maybe try it and let us know what happens.

Princess Mary was in Jesmond, makes you a canny posh sand dancer! My was daughter born there in '89, just before it closed.

If this is a wind up (which I believe it is) the OP must be quite pleased with himself - 14 pages of irate sparks and even the NIC involved!

Some things just don't ring true to me, e.g. the CU is too 'neat' compared to the rest - would he really have bothered with earth sleeving or bothered to 'dress' the cables? (badly I know). Looks to me like the CU was once reasonable but has been mullered by additions, the 2.5 coming in from the left looks like an add on.

Some of the cables hanging around in connectors (lighting) look like temporary repositioning during building work (we've all seen it) - the meter is mounted within what looks like a brand new cabinet, the crimped cables look like they may have originally been within some kind of enclosure due to perhaps CU relocation - I mean would he have crimped anything when a good a ol' connector block would have done?

I say pffft lol

I agree. A load of Shiza. BY THE OP! That installation is way older than 6 months. The consumer unit aint that bad. I smell a fish. I can't believe I just read 14 pages of drivel sparky bashing.
And the only ones who the NICEIC should listen to IS the client, not other sparkies grassing each other up.
