Delroy seems a nice bloke and entertaining for one reason or another, I assume that's why this topic exists. Some of these comments are unnecessarily spiteful. With the egos of some on here, it's no wonder sparks get a bad name amongst trades.

When I started in the indusrty in the mid 1990s I would say most of the older Sparks I came across on Domestic sites ALL came via a commercial / industrial background...They made the switch the switch to doing Domestic as they could earn £300 day as Subbies throwing T&E in the thousands of new builds going up in around London. They were all decent enough sparks back in then.
The birth of the Domestic installer / handyman Sparks over the past 20 years is where things tunred to Sh!t imo

Jesus that is rough.

The trunking on the inside is what it is but once he gets outside it's clown school.

Chasing in the wall with an SDS chisel lol.

Why he wouldn't just buy a metre long drill bit and come from the recess behind the wall instead of fannying on running surface trunking and cables...well i don't know. He's also put the bell at waist height by the look of it.

Rough as toast.

This one was gold! A corded drill for fitting an outside light, next he will be chasing with a hammer and scutch.

I blew mine up a couple of months ago coring a wall. I might buy a cheap Titan one as a replacement for hole coring and breaking up concrete. The battery SDS's are perfect for short-duration stuff like sinking back boxes, clearing chases and fixings.

Balls to running in extensions, batteries all the way
