And the slightly more creative lazy sh1tes hide it under the insulation.

killing a wet-pants ain't a crime, it's a service to humankind.

Most definitely, just last week I went to connect up a 'dual fuel' towel rail among other jobs where I'd put the box for the flex outlet plate in with care to just have a nice short loop of flex, and positioned this on the left to be further away from a shower cubicle. So guess which way round the cretin fitted the towel rail element side ?

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

Rear ended in Penarth. I'll be avoiding that place for sure

My mother lives in Penarth, she's 89 I'd better warn her. The excitement may kill her!

Nice neat job @SparkyChick...these are handy to keep in the van for heating wiring. They have tabs so you can loop thin cable ties through for strain relief and use leaver wagos so you don't have to ferrule the flex. If you want to be really thorough you could number the wagos and list what they are doing on the bit of lined paper provided in the lid to make an easy job for someone who works on the system next Buy Hager White Junction Box without Terminals J701 at The Electrical Guys - https://www.electricalguys.co.uk/hager-white-junction-box-without-terminals-j701.html?utm_source=google_shopping&m=Abstract&gclid=CN-_0YHMwNQCFRM6GwodVnoLTA

They look pretty neat, good tip. Thanks

In terms of terminal usage, it's wired in accordance with the boiler manufacturers instructions with slight modifications as the programmer serves the stat/programming function so the separate stats have just been taken out. I marked up the diagram in the boiler instruction manual so there is a written record, but those boxes look neat.
