Who to complain to????

[Davidlee1983]

Need help, this is gentoo contractors work after a combi boiler was installed. This job was bought off as complete, could you explain in detail all that is wrong. It is located below the stairs, in a cupboard that was in constant use and is easy to access. We have children living with us 11, 9 and 11 months. I would expect that people would lose there jobs for such shoddy workmanship, people need more respect for themself. The paperwork left for this work was addressed to a house one street over with the same number. Please and Thankyou in advance.

Tails are doing my head. Fully accessible location and fully unsecured. The kids'll be swinging off them. I would've

Edit : Just commenting on what I see in the pic, and not about how things may have got that way or who is to fix.

I haven't seen an earthing arrangement like that before. To the members... Is it TNS or TNCS or both??

I vote for TNCS.

I do think we need to be a little less derogatory of this particular installer. It may be, until we are told otherwise, that they weren't the installers, but perhaps have carried out an EICR?

OP can you just be clearer, did this company install the consumer unit (CU) etc, on the date shown on the lid of the CU?

 

[FatAlan]

Is all the work complete? Just wondering if the excessive lengths of tails is indicative of some future re positioning or trunking etc.

ignor that last one, work stuff

You might ask admin to remove the last one for you.

Lets get down to the facts:

What did you get done to the electrics, when and how much did you pay?

What paperwork did they give you?

 

[tomspark93]

now is it TNS or TNCS, thats the big question?

TNCS and the incomer has been bonded due to being an extraneous conductive part.

 

[Leesparkykent]

When was the consumer unit installed?

TNCS and the incomer has been bonded due to being an extraneous conductive part.

how can it be extraneous? extraneious is, by definition, metallic services which are not part of the electrical installation, likeley to introduce an earth potential

Systems for the distribution of electricity to the public do not fall under the scope of BS7671 and consequently out of the scope of the electrical installation.The sheath is going to introduce an earth potential.

Everyone seems to be getting very excited, nothing on telly

Im confused as ths op says he has had a combi boiler changed and shows us a picture of an old wylwx db witn one new rcbo in it maybe they have had a eicr done and some rems done such as upgrading mains tails and fitting an rcbo , but who knows, . We nead to know what work has been done and by who ??

 

[LankyWill]

if its just the boiler spur thats been added, id say its not the neatest. Although zone wise he is in the clear, as for workmanship seeing as your rent you just have to put up with it. No point ranting and raving, i have seen far worse, plus by the time you fill the room with rubbish and junk it wont be an issue as with most cu's you cant get to the bloody thing....
