Thats shocking!!
Discuss Thank You Mr. Wetpants, You Inconsiderate Imbecile in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
They are not gas engineers, the correct title is Gas Fitters.I've seen some really bad plumbing installations over the years, but this one really takes the biscuit. I went to do an EICR yesterday afternoon, but had to abandon the job as I was unable to gain access to the main switch, or even remove the cover from the board. Completely unacceptable. GRRRRRRRRRRR.

I'm wondering if any gas regulations have been breached here. I'm also wondering if wetpants has to issue a certificate when he does boiler installations. The homeowner says she wasn't given a certificate for the work. She is hopping mad and will be speaking with her solicitor first thing tomorrow.

unless youre charging several thousand is it really worth the aggro?The customer has agreed to have a new consumer unit installed. I just hope there is some slack left on the cables, but I'm not holding my breath. This isn't a job that I'm particularly looking forward to. I'll post some photos after the changeover is complete.
As there is no isolator between the meter and the board, I'll either need to get the DNO to come and pull the main fuse, or leave a glass of milk and some cookies out for the seal fairy.
I've just finished fixing the floor at mine in prep for new carpets. Yep, same single tool set used for rad pipes in the past. I've yet to meet a Tool Tart in the plumbing ranks. There must be some?Actually watched a "plumber" smash a 4" diameter hole in flooring chipboard with a hammer, to install a WC waste outlet once...
honestly, why not just drill a hole?
Makes me very angry!!!

The ducting, incidentally, had been terminated directly into the loft insulation.

And to complete an all-round DIY disaster, the deranged maniac who did the 'plumbing' work decided to try and melt some cables in the process .....

The case for electricians being recognised as a regulated profession is yet again proven to be just, wholly necessary and beyond further debate. The Scottish Government needs to get its **** together and do something about the shocking state of electrical installations in Scotland. And soon.
Alas, wee Jimmy Sturgeon and her c̶o̶m̶m̶u̶n̶i̶s̶t̶ nationalist government are more interested in trying to push a second independence referendum and sucking-up to the EU than they are in taking affirmative action against the dangerous people who imperil themselves and others by working on electrical installations while not possessing the necessary skills, knowledge and expertise. Shame on you SNP. You are an utter disgrace. Do we have to wait until someone is killed before you lot do anything? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
