Screwfix where Bodgers get their stuff????

I think that is a bit unfair Pete a few good electricians on here get some of their materials from them (Lap stuff bottom of the quality threshold)

Never said they didn't Ant, Remember I worked there for a while, like I have seen what goes on, show a few meaningless certificates and you're a member, Joe public can buy the same gear from Screwfix that is also provided by Electrifix next door. Yes of course it's a good outlet for early bird good sparkies.

Afraid I agree with Pete. Screwedfix stuff is rubbish. BG and LAP is rubbish. Tool prices excessive and tool quality poor. All imho
Ain’t saying the sparkies you refer to are not good.
I get better prices at proper wholesalers than screwedfix could ever offer.

It implied that buying from Screwfix you are a bodger which I don't think what you posted was what you wanted your post to say but I get the sentiment of it.

Quite special this, somebody has made there own bracket out of fixing band to hold the light fixture to the ceiling rose, wasn't a bad job to be honest apart from the earth not being attached.

Just had a scroll through thread and it does make you think whats the point some times, for example using compression glands, gromits, proper containment etc when people seem to get away with complete rubbish throwing it in and probably charging the same price

I've seen whole houses like this where the base of the pendants been tucked up because the home owner didn't know what to do with the wiring!

Just opened up this CU on a garage conversion.

Sweet Jesus.

Whole thing wired in 1mm 3 core.

Into a b50.

Supplies sockets and a utility room...

More later.

That there is a total abortion, @Marcus Vaughan
I can’t see one regulation that HAS been adhered to.

Is this a DIY bodge or a supposed electrician bodge?

I'm going for option A.
"I just need someone to come and connect up and do a certificate. All the rest is done"

 

[Dustydazzler]

That is terrible …...


I mean who in their right mind would install BG

 

[Bellendian]

I think that is probably the worst effort I've ever seen!! In the age of youtube I can't understand how its possible to get it so incredibly wrong!
If that work was paid for then this surely has to be one for Building Control to actually pursue and take action?

 

[Dustydazzler]

The scary thing is , I have seen far far worse in peoples houses
