    Will definitely pay him, I've no problem with that, for me it's not about the money, more about peace of mind with it being my elderly parents house. The new chap was able to tell me exactly what needed fixing, I didn't even have to say a word. That give me confidence that it will be put right...

    Gonna speak with him in Saturday, gonna pay him for what he has done so far, but tell him I have gotten some one else to complete the rest of the work. Second part of the job was to do some garden lighting and another shed.

    Definitely not gonna touch it myself, I wouldn't touch electrics, that's a job for trained professionals. It's just if I get the chap back, I'd like enough knowledge to know if he's putting it right. I'll keep looking for another electrician.

    Even to my untrained eye workmanship is poor and I'm not.happy with it however, if we put the workmanship aside for a second, can someone please tell me what needs to be done to make it safe? If a gland with an earth was added at the supply end to protect the outer metal in the SWA sheathing...

    Haven't paid anything yet but will need to contact him soon to see if he can put right. I'm up to speed with what he needs to do on the shed side of things, however correct me if I am wrong. Gland the end of the armoured cable into a box on exterior wall and the carry cable through from box to...
