Discuss Consumer unit meter wiring in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I'm thinking I should have left it alone now but I thought the person doing the job knew the best way to sort it. Will leave it the way it is and will not plaster over it until I can find another electrician to fix it. I found him on mybuilder and his feedback looked good. I wanted to ask if anyone could recommend a website to find good electricians. The pipes below are water pipes which will be boxed in.

Thanks
 
this is the bestsite to find a good electrician. failing finding a good one, you could getme. at least i'm in cheshire and usyally sober before 11.0am.
Hi Telectrix that sounds great can you let me know when you could pop round to take a look, I'm in crewe. No rush if your busy as I'm guessing it's safe as long as I indent plaster over it. Just wish I tried this site before.
 
This is what I'd like to have done and then once its done will try and touch up on my plastering skills :)

Thanks to everyone for there help and I've decided it makes more sense to put the trunking back as it's just too much work to put it outside.

But what I have found is that I need to get the plaster repaired before the trunking can go back and my plan is too flick the meter isolator switch in the fuse box so it's in the off postition disconnect both wires and pull them through the wires are loose from the wall and plaster.

I just wanted to check that I'm right that in the picture below the isolator switch is the two blue and brown switches on the far right of the picture and once both are pushed down the power is dead and I'm safe to remove the wires without getting a shock.
