Electrical safety in the kitchen.

[Octopus]

would you want said numptie fixing his **** up if he did not realise he had even ****ed up?

Under some form of supervision and inspection yes ...

Well were just have to wait for our representative reports back.

if i was you id take pictures of any other offending work done by kitchen company, in the meantime get someone out to sort that mess under the units before it causes a mischief


then charge all work to make good to the kitchen company via small claims

I don't think you can do that, you have to give them a chance to put it right first.

... you have to give them a chance to put it right first.

OP: Just tell that whoever they send round you want to see their electrical qualifications first... and you want a cert at the end of the work as proof it's all ok.

the standard of work done would make me not let them in my home incase they made it even worse

im sure the court would be understanding? kitchens aint cheap, id expect it right first time minus a few minor snags, but this is basic stuff, unclipped cables "connected" via twist on connectors, didnt even realise these were an option in britain

only heard of their use in less educated countries.

I wouldn't be too keen on letting them back in to fix their mess either, but you can't just bring someone else in and then bill the kitchen company for it.

Also don't think twist on connectors have been used, both pictures look like Wago's, the 2nd one is just a real bad mess of someone trying (and failing) at taping up the cable

looking at OP's 1st pic. the muppets have actually twisted 2 cpc's and bodged them into 1 hole of the wago.

call the kitchen company and demand a visit from manager. show him the problems, backed up if needed by forum posts. then demand to have it put right, but not by the original contractors. insist he sends a qualified electrician.

They did that in case the Wago fell off.

Thanks for all the replies.
I sent a strongly worded email to the Installation company on Monday, and today had a qualified electrician come out to fix all the issues. After he had stopped swearing about how it had been left on the floor under a sink unit, he then proceeded to put the connections into boxes and removed any cables that were surplus to requirements.
I feel a lot safer now.
