Spot the mistake

[Adam W]

How old would you say the wiring is? I'd say 'old' judging by the use of plain green sleeving, which is prohibited by the current edition of BS7671.

1970's and just for a change, they remembered to put sleeving on it at all.

Interested in the reason you were called out in the first place

Could it be that they have used bloody slotted screws instead of poxi's?

I was there to get shot of the rewirable board and put in a new CCU.

The slotted screws were a luxury, behind the bathroom light was the base of an old pendant, snapped in half but all stuffed up there and no screws in sight.

Twisting the cpcs together and sticking a single bit of sleeving on it....

More irritating than lack of bonding when the stop cock and gas meter are right next to the cu

Had a load of inspections on caravans at the beginning of the year which the park owners told me had been I&T's 3 years previously. All the cpc's were so tightly twisted together and stuffed into a bit of undersized sleeving, there's no way anyone had looked at them since the caravans came out of the factory. BIG GRRRRRRR!!!!!!
