So I have been doing it wrong all these years

[123]

£85 minimum charge and a 'special offer' to replace an existing socket for a USB version for £50, not cheap is he !

Changing a socket faceplate is probably about his level, that and fitting a new plug top.

Rough as a badgers arse.

What cracks me up is that he has sunk in a surface mounted box. lol

I thought it was a spoof at first - his marking of 4 inches on the drill (I wonder what he claims to the wife!), sinking the box, the mess of sealing around the thing...He's a craftsman though lol

I like it when he says about not teaching you suck eggs about connecting the socket cos he probably don't know himself. The amount of comments on utube is unbelievable.

 

[telectrix]

did he ever get round to connecting the cpc to the actual socket as well as to the back box parking terminal

Phone him up Tel and ask him, I think he's still up reading his BS7671

[Rpa07]

Wonder if he has a 24/7 mobile number hehehe! Dooontttt

This cant be real.....surely. If it is he belongs in a nut-house.

kin hell......he does gas work as well

That link also brings up a photo of some of the workers
EICR's £150 regardless of size of property.

It's pretty shoddy work. I wonder how he's terminated that SWA?

I wouldn't flush mount that socket in that situation, however, it's worth noting that MK do a flush mounting bezel for their Masterseal accessories:

Disgusting workmanship, he is a disgrace to the trade.

Yeah true, but he might be a brilliant business man= he will survive.! And that is the reality.

 

[Deleted member 93172]

If that's the way to survive, then I'm a dead man walking

 

[Simonslimline]

Crikey, this guy is clearly a picnic short of a picnic. Definitely not the full ticket lol.

 

[bigspark17]

They emailed me back following an eicr enquiryvand stated it was £150 per proerty regardlessof amount of circuits !!!!!!!! Haha.! I fancy saying i have a 3 bed house with 22 ccts and 10 s/heaters lol :/

Incidentally, the finish of his caulking is atrocious

 

[Rpa07]

It wasn't caulking it was no nails!

Aaand - he liked it - just unbelievable !!!

 

[spary]

he'd probably make some money sending that in to YBF
