Wanna see some scary stuff

This attached picture shows what some contractor at some point has qualified as tails. This cable runs from the front of house where the service head is directly to the rear of the house (some 30 meters of cable run) to supply a 6 way Consumer unit in the kitchen which feeds everything in the house barring the lighting circuit. The contractors isolator had been installed recently (no more than 5 years ago) and this cable had been terminated directly into the output of the isolator.

The tenant of the house, a beautiful young lady, with 2 lovely young children is so very lucky she decided to have a cooker circuit installed and pay for it herself because her landlord refused to do so.

I really hope justice is done on this one. That is awful, so dangerous. Attempted murder?!?!

 

[richy3333]

Sometimes it beggars belief what people will do!

 

[AP Electrical]

Disgusting, how people sleep at night I don't know. Sad thing is for every 1 of these you find there's another 100 still in use.

 

[keniff]

What is that just an old twin cable?

 

[dim_bulb]

looks like VIR

 

[ayjay]

i,e never seen anything as bad as that

 

[Stroppy]

Preusmably the place has never had any sort of periodic inspection.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

That earthing/bonding conductor looks pretty new judging from the colour.
Looks like Prysmian LSOH to me.

 

[Octopus]

If the tennent pays for the new circuit and remedial work, lets hope the landlord deducts the cost from her next couple of monthly payments

 

[Steve_P]

Flaming whatsits! That's a sight and a half!!!!!!!

 

[Clive P]

You couldn't even call that bad, it's diabolical!

 

[higgi17]

Dont think I have ever seen anything that bad its horrific. The tennant should report that to environmental health or the council as the landlord should be made to answer questions on the safety of the property he/she is letting out.

That terminal earth block looks less than 4 years old.....it was probably fitted by a labourer who was wanting to get to the pub and at the same time angry with their boss on a Friday afternoon.....

So what is your plan to go forward with the installation of cooker circuit now?? Is this young lady also prepared to pay for remedials to the existing installation, or is that being thrown back to the Landlord to cover??

[thekingiam]

no bonding present by looks of it as well.

 

[Paul.M]

Shocking! Cant believe they used black and red tape, should have used blue and brown

 

[GStueyXR]

The earth bonding was done by the ----- who completed the periodic 6 months ago before the young lady moved in.

I will be taking it further!

 

[telectrix]

periodic???? the only piece of paper issued on that job should have been a danger notice, with copies sent to landlord, local council, and environmental health.

 

[craig1000]

Struggling to find words for this, don't think there are any! & to hear some one actually signed a PIR on it 6 months ago is unreal!

 

[Adam W]

"Contractor!?" Surely no contractor would leave that? I would be more inclined to suggest the landlord had a go himself to save a couple of quid. Even so it's surprising what kind of state some people are prepared to leave an electrical installation in.

 

[Adam W]

It's a wonder they managed to install that bonding without killing them self. Whoever did it must have isolated it beforehand, which must surely have set alarm bells ringing?

Another example as to why the electrical certification for rented properties should be mandatory.

But the OP does state this had one done 6 months ago. Mandatory EICR's would render them useless IMHO
