This sounds to me like the installation has been carried out by someone who has stood for several hours at B&Q watching instructional videos about electrical installation work........AND NOT PAID ATTENTION PROPERLEY.............LMFAO
 
I'm suprised this thread didn't get more replies, it is not very often we are lucky enough to see first hand proffessional works by bob from the pub who is part pee certified :ciappa:
 
Nick will vouch that North Wales is full of that type of work, I have found tons of it in certain seaside towns on the coast, most of it DIY by landlords or landlords builders
 
Some nice pictures.
However, it does go to show that even the roughest installed circuits will still work. to a degree.

The unearthed cooker is a definite shock hazard.
So it says something for the use of RCDs. Protecting idiots from themselves.

The person/s who ruffed that lot in certainly wasn't trained and probably couldn't care as long as the job was 'finished' and the money in the bank.

Try that technique with Gas and its good night to you, your house , your next door neighbour's and their children.
 
yep llandrillo all i can say it was in a small village on anglesey ,they wouldnt say who had done it but you get that feeling dont you it was done 4 years ago no certs not part p notification , and its this that just proves that Part P should be scrapped and a regester should be brought in just like gas safe ,

the board that was displayed at the orange shed a few years ago actually stated "place the green and yellow wire in the common terminal" , trading standards and the NIC were involved in that one i did have a picture of it but got lost when my hard drive failed

Scrapping Part P will NOT stop this, nor would having Electric Safe.

There will always be muppets doing sparking for a living or DIY who shouldn't
