I've come to a decision, I just cant do work anymore that involves mad stuff, for example today - 2 bed flat that's had fire damage, someone has been in, taken every socket and switch off (think it was mostly trunking), blue tape on every cable end, all still live and then got the place totally...
I have been carrying out an EICR on a property and have come across this black tarry substance on 2 of the cables.
I have seen the pitch oozing out of a cut out before and I don't think it's this. Mainly because I thought that was only on the cut out fuse.
It's also not green, so it's not...

Hi all.
Just bought a house and it needs some attention to the electrics in terms of layout - loads of rooms that need 2 way switches don't have them, weird lighting set ups where one switch will do an inside and outside light at the same time etc, mostly trivial stuff.

I'm convinced it wouldn't work 'electrically' and my only idea is to...
