ok so... 2 things i have seen

1: putting a toilet and a sink in the same room as the consumer unit.. room must of been 2 meter squire.. any one else think that's weird?

2: go to do a job adding some new leds..... i see the ring circuit clipped to the brick wall..then dot and dabbed with plaster board just stuck on over it??

1.
It keeps all the sh-te in the same location but seems an excellent decision
2.
Its good to know its nicely supported,dangling loose is much less pleasing

What do you think should be done in both cases ?
 
2 CPCs in the same bit of sleeving.
Idiots who cut cables stupidly short making retermination difficult.
Those things boil my wee (amongst many, many others)

Nothing wrong with that, theres a brand new Charles church estate I'd done a bit of work on and all the consumer units are in the downstairs toilet above the sistern so you have to lean over the toilet to get to it, makes life awkward.

2. What's wrong with that?
 
what if the toilet/sink over flows? and for sockets at least a bit of capping


what if the toilet/sink over flows?
If you can't fix the waterworks,maybe get a plumber

sockets at least a bit of capping
By all means.lots of people find it helpful to get the cables in position,do or don't do,whatever feels good

If it overflows and manages to fill the room to the level of consumer unit I'd be shocked! You would probably be talking of 1500 litres of water or more.

it makes no odds of water goes on a socket, it can easily be replaced with a new one.

it's when it's mounted up to ceiling so you have to stand on the bog to access it. several new build estates round here done like that.

I hate boards that are hard against the ceiling as you cant get your screwdriver in straight to the bar at the top half the time, having said that, the new Design 30 hager board, its a bit lower the rail.
