Thoughts on this?

Work of a bathroom fitter on CheckATrade
Wiring for downlights installed in en-suite.

The junction boxes must have come loose. And the sleeving fell off. All the debris was there before. Honest.

Lovely. Seems to be a common site now. It's ok though they used wagos so everything else will be fine...

You jest? I hope.

a bit like my school reports... "could do better".

My last report said, I would never amount to anything useful. mind you the Bloke that penned the report was nothing write home about, nothing but a Bully, liked to beat small School boys.

I guess it's clear enough what does what, but using Wagos without a suitable "box" is just being lazy...I hate to see such mess, with cables all over the place...tells me that the installer doesn't give a fk

I was at a similar school, Pete...bullies with no teaching talent...the PE teacher was ex-military and hit boys for fun...sadist!
I won't tell you what we did to his car on the last day of school...

Looks like a set from one of the Saw movies or something

 

[suffolkspark]

What would it have taken just to ram it in a wagobox

 

[FatAlan]

PS. The ducting heads over in the general direction of the sofit but funnily enough does not vent outside

 

[richy3333]

That flexi ducting is too loose not tight enough either. Condensation will just pool in that

This particular Master was a right bully, took great delight in mental and physical abuse, that was until one of the older and bigger pupils decided he had seen and had enough, and gave him a right seeing too, pity he was expelled, turned out a county rugby player, England prospect, would liked to have seen him with a England jersey playing Wales, this Master was a Welshman, would have been blood everywhere, glad to called him a friend, don't know what would have happened if I told him I thought he was a thug, still used to see him before I moved to N/ton.

Atleast their progressing to wagos instead of connector blocks.

Its basically unfinnished work.
Bullying by school teachers seemed to be quite common back in the sixties.
I had a physics master who made me stand in front of the class and positioned my arms in the shape of a teapot, then because I and the rest of the class were laughing so much he chose to pin me against the door.
With hindsight, he was having a nervous breakdown and just happened to catch him at his worst moment. Thankfully,I passed physics 'O' level without further help from him.

You can report him to checkatrade. if you have valid information on a member they will remove them from the site unlike some websites... guy needs stopping as that is ---- poor.

 

[Vortigern]

I suppose the good thing is that wagos came on to the market. It does at least mean when this sort of work is done it is safer than just chockblocks. That is assuming he checked that the wires were up into the wagos properly. Given the lack of attention to detail it is quite likely there will be some loose connections.

You didn't star in 'Kes' did you, P ?

 

[FatAlan]

The ‘installation’ belongs to some friends. They have raised the issue with Checkatrade and asked if I could comment on the issues. I would love to but do not class myself as an experienced spark with the experience or expertise to pass expert opinion.
I could go through the BBB and list obvious breaches. 522.8.4 , 522.8.5. Lack of enclosures and sheathing of cpc etc.

They've raised the issue, not you and it certainly needs addressing. You can give them advice, as you're thinking, but be careful of getting involved, alone. Is there no one local, with experience and confidence for a bit of backing... off here, maybe?

No Mate didn't Star in anything

Wrong P....I was quoting pirate..

 

[DefyG]

At least they have maintained cpc continuity! Usually find lots where the cpc has been snipped off!

 

[Mark.fardon]

DIY /kitchen/bathroom fitter shoddy, cowboy, shameful, unsafe, scourge of the professional electrician. ive done 10 EICR or so this month and this is the rubbish you come across day after day and at least we have apparent CPC continuity although I doubt verified by the installer. its honesty depressing to see this “standard”of work being accepted by homeowners who know no better. Ps Landlords have got a big expensive shock coming as I’d say 80% of their Properties over 10 years old need at least a grand of work to replace fusebox/tails/bonding/ring continuity/lighting CPC issues if not full rewires that’s without the cost of redecorating and inconvenience to their endangered tenants

 

[marconi]

Your friends could report to ChaT - the wiring he/she had done was questionable so it required subsequent inspection and testing by a qualified and accredited (eg NICEIC) electrician who reported that ....... and did this remedial work so it complied with .....

 

[Dustydazzler]

I hope that was temporary and that they were coming back later to actually do the job properly and just ran out of the correct materials to do the job.....

Yeah, But I aint a Scouser am I?
