Nice one SC, much neater.

Where did all the cord clamps go?!

That my dear is a bloody good question... if I ever bump into the plumber who created the original abomination I'll ask him

To be fair, they are probably in the floor void with all the other rubbish and rubble he created and chucked in there (much to the annoyance of the householder).

Nothing wrong with that at all, far better than most that I see, my only suggestion would be to fit a small piece of brown sleeving on the grey and black permanent & switched lives- and fit it close to the terminations.

I did add some brown sleeving, but it fell about when I was cable wrangling, but it is there (at both ends of the cables)

Annoys me when people just dump stuff in floor voids and wherever. All you've got to do is have a box or a bag to stick the rubbish in as you're going.

If you ever meet him, just remember: Choking the life out of him is just a tad illegal

Thanks chaps

To be brutally honest, it scared the carp out of me when I got there and saw it. From now on I don't think I'll be quite so intimidated by central heating wiring.

Bit of a mixed bag today though, had my first *BANG*. Replacing a light fitting for a landlord customer in one of her rentals, connected up, Zs was sweet, attached to ceiling, put the lights in and turn it on *BANG*. Looks like sharp edges cut into the poxy little cables running to the fittings. Suffice to say a ceiling rose is going up next week before I do an EICR on the place (no reason to do one other than she's not had one done on that property so she wants to get her paperwork in order).

And to top it off, I got rear ended in traffic crossing the bridge into Penarth on the way to this heating job, so a really mixed bag

Ah sorry ! I was operating minus my reading glasses, always a gamble.

Only if he turns blue and dies... if I keep a check on his pulse and release a little when his pulse gets weak I should be alright

Exactly mate, it's the same in loft spaces where you find a junction box and next to it are all the stripped insulation ends, we are surrounded by idleness !
