Tv .dvd.sound bar all on 1 13 amp fuse

[Jock from the north]

This is a new one to me.a local TV installer (the ones that have built up an almost untouchable reputation due to longevity of service and having mainly loyal older customers ) has wired up a media wall in my area and cut the plugs off all 3 appliances.sound bar ,TV,dvd player and stuck the flexes into 1 switch spur as there is no room behind tv as its a media wall etc .13 amp fuse for all 3 appliances with prob .75 flex or what ever they use for Samsung products.also theve added in 2 x extra sockets for gaming station and the ring is broken .these guys are sparkys .the same sparkys that 2 years ago fitted a consumer unit walked away without any testing ,had the tails mixed up ,plumber came in to change shower switched on dp switch outside bath door then switched of mcb for shower then boom.of course they are part of the scottish scheme which guarantees quality and compedance. It seems if you are a fancy company with a large office and a secretary yearly inspections are just a matter of course .

I remember my dad did that years ago with our tv and video recorder. 2 flexes into 1 plug… and that was a squeeze.
Back in the days when houses only had a few single sockets and a multi gang adaptor was a big heavy white cube.

So not one of those flexes are protected from overload with an oversized fuse.

Non compliant in my eyes
