cu in shower room

[stidge]

Hi all, job visited they are extending downstairs wc and fitting a shower(quadrant)the meters gas, elec and old wilex rewireable cu. they want a new cu fitting, shower feed, lights etc. I have told them the cu will have to be moved out of room but meters can remain boxed in! (In cupboard with doors) Anyone got any other suggestions as customer moaning about cost etc ?????

 

[smu_diddly]

errrr they move it or dont get the work done. i would move the meters as well, unless the cupboard has a high ip rating(doubt it)

Thats what I love about this forum, always at least one thread to give you a good laugh!

I have a picture on my phone of the finished job, I could stand in the shower and operate the MCB's. They did a good job of tiling and grouting around the DB.
(I was called in to wire a new boiler in to an existing switch fuse spur)

What did you do? and can you post the picture??

Sorry - realised I must edit pictures before posting as it shows a company name!

i honestly cant see the problem, light goes off in shower and you can reset the mcb without falling on the floor!

unless they're extending into next door's living room, i'd walk away mate. downstairs loos tend to be pretty small and i'm guessing the extension won't be big enough to allow compliance with the permitted zones. you could get in touch with the utility companies to get them to move their gear, but is it worth it? my advice is, move on to the next job.

How about a big shower cap to fit over the CU?

Who ever fitted the shower should of seen that in the first place - how stupid do you get!

Another DIY ob by the look of it!

Also who installed the CU there - looks like one done in the last few years - so which ever was the last to be done should have been flagged up!

Had a job similar to that, the board(s) were a little bit further away but still too close. I walked away as the customer didn't want to pay to have it done right. I'm sure that Bob/Bert/John from the pub will sort it.

What is the matter with you people? You can clearly see a barrier there
YYYYYYeeeeeeeeeeehhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Must say, the grouting looks nice!

gas and electric meters in the shower area....that's good.......oh hello.....


hi, aymm doofee, I 'm your builder ahhahhahahaha (fart)

If somebody asked me to do that I'd offer to relocate the electrics or walk away. Customers who can't see the dangers in such layouts are customers I smply don't want!

[snowhead]

And the meter readers get in the shower take the gas and electric readings and walk away happy?
