Discuss Advice wanted - unhappy with rewire in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

Hi Sarah, the chasing is certainly untidy and if the wall had crumbled away I would have plastered around the sockets myself before second fixing. The wire should not have come out of the socket even with it being moved around. The melted socket is more than likely down to what the builder plugged in(to much load). Certificate needs to be issued within 25 days (NICEIC) and should have been registered online.
On the upside they have used MK gear which is generally better quality.
 
IMO MK stuff is quite well put together; some of their terminal screws aren't so good and leaning mcb’s. But the rests ok, and they look good.

There's a lot else there thats much worse.
There's also a lot else that's much better

What, and how much better; name your enemy of choice, we are all friends here :). Quite like the Click Scholmore range, but still think the MK stuff (talking basic white plastic) looks………………………………………………………...nice!
 
Been installing plenty MK Aspect top of the range, flat plate on one job. No problems....but still much prefer the Schneider 'Ultimate' (GET) range.....a bit cheaper, better to work with and better looking, for me. Class stuff.
