Is this NICIEC extractor fan installation safe?

[David Thomas]

Thanks all; I've asked the electrician to come back to rectify the issues I've found. He is a busy guy, and I suspect that what happened is that he was so busy that he got a newly qualified/apprentice to do the work, and didn't have time to check it himself. I've also found an additional issue - a 45 amp cooker circuit on a 16 amp type B MCB.

As you've suggested, I'm going to get an EICR done by an electrician qualified to do commercial fixed wire testing. I'm hoping this won't be too intrusive given carpets and floors are down, but safety has to come first.

Midwest, I'm somewhat familiar with electrical installations, but not familiar with British domestic standards and common practice. To be honest, I'm only discovering most of the story/issues myself piecemeal as I look around the place.

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Some cock ups are not the result of being untrained, they are simply the result of being a useless sod with low standards! Whoever twisted the CPCs together would have known it was not the professional way, regardless of whether or not they happen to be qualified and/or registered with a scheme. Most 12 year olds with no interest in electrical work whatsoever would be able to identify this as not the work of a pro!!
