A Rather Obvious Forged EICR

[JK-Electrical]

These connections are for three shuttered doors!

40 amp breaker fitted to a ring final circuit!

Deep gashes in the L1 and L3 tails.

The only clip securing the tails and main earth is that solitary T&E clip.

...what can i tell you...i cut a few corners....after all,i was clucking...

 

[JK-Electrical]

This is a brand-new board. Words fail me.

Least they glanded each tail separately

 

[JK-Electrical]

This is how the wiring looks when viewed from behind the board. All the cables have been taped together and left dangling.

 

[JK-Electrical]

These SWAs were wrapped together with plastic cable ties and left dangling.

Rough

No other words for it

I would want to take everything out and re-do the lot

 

[westward10]

Not knocking house bashers but this looks like one totally out of their depth.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I would question if this was an electrician at all...

 

[westward10]

It's a house basher all day long.

Why is there a smoke detector circuit on that type of installation unless it is a fire alarm,

I agree that is beyond remedial works.

 

[JK-Electrical]

I would say the block with the blue conductors at it looks like it shows signs of melting.

You are correct. I'm informed that prior to a 16mm SWA being installed to supply a sub-board for the office area, one of those twin and earths was acting as the supply cable! Apparently whoever installed the sub-board connected all the final circuits, but for reasons best known to himself, decided to spur the supply for the board from a ring final circuit elsewhere in the building. I don't know what he was thinking.

Why is there a smoke detector circuit on that type of installation unless it is a fire alarm,

There's a fire alarm panel, smoke alarms, call points and sounders present. I noticed that the panel is indicating a fault condition.

However, no certificate other than a MEIWC has been issued. Whoever did the work submitted a MEIWC to cover the design, installation and commissioning! There is no certification for the emergency lighting either.

Sounds like someone well and truly out of their depth.

The person who did the work advertises himself as an electrician. However, I would advise him to quit the trade and seek alternative employment.

That was my conclusion too. There is insufficient capacity in the main board. All the ways have been used. One of the breakers has three conductors. Two supply the main area lighting and emergency lighting. The other supplies one of the shuttered doors of which there are five in total. Another of the doors has been spurred direct from the ring final circuit.
