So you'll be repairing it in the same fashion as the repair lower down the cable and re-burying it ?
I will at least heat-shrink it

after getting several sub 1 ohm L-e readings around the circuit, finally ame to end of line and got 0.07 ohms. so i says to Simon " fault is approx 2m away. when we cut into the board and pulled the cable out, it was 1. 8m from the end.
How do you qualified in that area? bet some training establishment will cotton on, money to be made and all.
there's a 5 week course on how to put the gloves on the correct hands. only £5500 + VAT.I wander if they have special gloves they wear when fitting halogen 'bulbs'....

You see these things and surprised how something more serious hasn't happened.Took a little beating with a hammer and chisel to reveal this when I saw the two T+E cables disappearing into the wall via a mortar joint

That 0.75mm flex feeds the extractor hood. The earth that disappears into the wall I think provides an earth for an outside light. The two T+E leaving the bottom of the cooker switch supply the oven
And now for a close up of that classy back box wiring.

That cable on the right runs round to the other side of the room where it feeds a double socket that supplies the washing machine and dishwasher, then up to a double socket above the counter, through the wall into the lounge and three more double sockets.
Oh and did I mention the secondary supply cable that drops down the wall and joins in the fun via a buried ceramic terminal block (but at least they wrapped it in tape)?
'kin unbelievable.

It’s already a legal requirement per the last Scottish Housing Act for tenanted properties. 5 yearly, PAT testing and mains fire alarms. Progress is being madeThis point was raised in one of the reference books I've got, it was published in the late 1930's so don't hold your breath for anything actually happening in our lifetimes!
Love the final Finish on the consumer unit saying do not touch, how did he get paid for that ???Here’s a few from a local I&T. Partial refurb by the local Dangerous Dave!

Must have been a cowboy because he Lassoed the pipes with earthwire
why, when they're all earthed through the trunking and bushes?
That's a really useful place to have a socket. You can plug in all sorts when showering. What a great idea!
And cable not secured tut tutSurely that's not real? Got to be a wind up....
Imagine putting a socket like that - not straight!
Obviously on the slant to shed water !
