yep I agree deffo not deep enough I had to do a similar job at me bruvs his ran in the border though, so as it was prone to digging and disturbance I dug 600mm deep, installed it in ducting to protect from sharp stones also to future proof if ever it needed replacement for drawing fresh cables in. I am sure in the regs it is at sufficient depth to avoid damage from digging so minimum 450mm and warning tape 150mm from surface when it crosses a garden.

As for the chandeliers I had a picture in my mind of only fools and horses when they dropped it lol

No depth mentioned in regs, it just has to be deep enough as to prevent danger or damage I think the wording is.

And that squire is a compliment sandwich

Not deep enough, hell all he's done is lifted the turf!! Cleared away any sharp stones, ...Nope, as for Warning tape, ....don't be so daft!! Really what's the point, ...Fork or shovel goes into the ground, hits and damages the cable before you even get a chance to see any warning tape, even if one was laid.

Posting evidence of poor installation methods is leaving you wide open to a possible future lawsuit due to poor workmanship.

Please! I hope your not serious , lawsuits? comments like this are what's doing damage ! Do you know of we dug that trench deeper after the pic ? No.


I know most of the comments are in good humour but it's just getting repetitive now and not doing my reputation any good, I think it's best that I stop posting and pick a new username.

No need to do that Jamie, as a whole your facebook page and business looks very good, you will always get comments when you show too much on the WWW. My bit of advice is to not show off too much you have done because even if it is the greatest work on the planet someone will spot something wrong, cheer up fella, at least your doing well up there, plenty of happy customers.

C'mon Jamie, be honest, you left the mate to do it, told him to put it 700mm down and he put it all of 20mm down.

I'm often suspicious of tidy CUs! Makes me think what the guy who did it is trying to hide elsewhere. Classic case of misdirection :D

I also agree, that cable depth is laughable!

Jamie, I keep telling you man, slow down! You look like you have yourself a pukka little operation going on up there! You don't wanna jeopardise that do you? Speed and quality are words that don't go together unless you're talking about cars, bikes or race horses! Besides, you're fast on yer way to giving yerself a coronary!

Some nice work their kid BUT as Damian said SLOW DOWN!you're nowt but a pup yet and you ain't gonna make a big dog the way you're going.I know 2 people went down your road,empire building one was dead early 50's and the other had 3 heart attacks and 2 strokes,he's early 50's now and can't even enjoy himself properly in case it kills him.I don't know if you have a partner but I'm damn sure she'd rather have you alive and comfortable than rich and dead!Incidentally I did something similar but I was lucky,I just had a crack up and got out.Thought for the day,the cemetery's are full of wealthy people,do you want to be one? Slow down.
