    Workmanship - What to expect?

    Hi there, Pete E - longer screws would be needed, there would also then be a gap between the MCB's and the front panel - they'd be recessed. FatAlan - the wall is flat - it's dot'n'dab plasterboard and I've checked it. I took another look at it at the weekend, and tried to remove the front...

    Workmanship - What to expect?

    Workmanship - What to expect?

    Hi there, I posted a couple of weeks ago hinting at some issues I'd had with an electrician. Since then I've spoken to him, and he's been back and attempted to correct the work. I'm still less than satisfied with the finished job. Background: I'd originally asked him to quote for some wiring...

    Newbie, saying "Hi!"
