Didn’t have any left on the van. It was T&E, black H07 or SWA. Considered SWA but thought they’d hang their shower gel off it. So went with the T&E.Rough as, I would have used white flex
Wouldn’t stick to the tiles and I ran out of screws.That is rough, I would have expected to see some mini trunking on an installation like that.
I’ve got a face for radio!Actually thinking about it...
The biggest sin is that fact you didn't make a 'How To' YouTube video showing how you connected this shower up
Nobody in their right mind would use that shower.Actually thinking about it...

Great job. Only minor improvement I would suggest is maybe a light, but then again you could always set a lamp on the shower and plug it in.View attachment 107714
Passed my annual assessment today. Assessor was impressed with my drip loop and the belt and braces approach of installing the socket on a slant to allow any water to drain out.
Box, what box. Its just a hole chopped in the wall with a bit of wood behind to screw the face -plate toI hope that's an IP rated surface box recesssed into the wall.

I wonder how much time was spent with what's behind them.Not exactly a dodgy trade pic but at a small job yesterday noticed the doors on the CU cupboard just inside the front door - why would anyone bother ?!! The current owners have lived there for 3 years and never spotted it !
Not much I'd say, a cheapo RCD Main Switch board wired by a baboon by the looks of it. But it's being changed soon.I wonder how much time was spent with what's behind them.
Have to get it done properly.Not much I'd say, a cheapo RCD Main Switch board wired by a baboon by the looks of it. But it's being changed soon.
Sounds like he's a ford man then instead of BentleyAfter that board pic you posted the customer insists on me doing it,sorry.

Did you connect the cpcs to the back box so it is earthed.Found this today during an EICR. At least they earthed the back box…..

On another ring I had a break in continuity L-L. Narrowed it down to between 2 sockets in different rooms. Between each of the rooms was a bathroom.
A little investigation and found an old wall heater junction box.

Funny enough when I took the tape off and placed them into Wago’s the ring continuity was restored.
Replaced the socket front and earthed both socket and back box. I also did the old heater point now junction box one too.Did you connect the cpcs to the back box so it is earthed.
I have heard some old times sparks mention this , but if the screw is loose or rusted up then the connection to the erath lug will be carpThere is an argument that the socket is earthed if one of its screw fixing is into a fixed lug in a metal back box, as long as the back box is earthed.
I’ve heard that argument. But for the sake of a socket front that costs £4 I can’t understand why they didn’t just replace the socket front.There is an argument that the socket is earthed if one of its screw fixing is into a fixed lug in a metal back box, as long as the back box is earthed.
That isn't an argument cpcs connect initially to the accessory.There is an argument that the socket is earthed if one of its screw fixing is into a fixed lug in a metal back box, as long as the back box is earthed.
Terminals are usually brass so little risk of corrosion in any sane environment.That would also apply to the terminal screws, but we do those up with our torque driver don't we.
Yep, no matter what, the accessory should be earthed. Touch point is important. The back box is the secondary, although, in most cases, IMO, it should also be cable connected.Terminals are usually brass so little risk of corrosion in any sane environment.
There reverse is more reasonable, if the accessories is earthed by the CPC then the back-box is acceptably so via the screws, also normally you can't touch that.
Stop, Hammer time!
He's interfered with your installation without even informing you, besides ferkin' it up completely. I definitely would not sign off a certificate for that.Firstly he said the screws didn't quite reach so he got longer screws but they were too long so when he tightened one of them it ripped the lug of one of the boxes, when I removed the fronts I was this. as you can see, no grommets, way too short and stripped back with a machete. Can you imagine the pain it caused trying to sort that out, wonder if he has adhered to safe zones.
Apparently it was all done when the el cheapo kitchen cupboards were added about 4-5yrs ago. I can't understand why they didn't use the service void and some trunking if that was the case.Cables slung under the units and a wago box joint is pretty normal these days , heck I even run cables under the units in some pipe or flexi if the customer doesn't want to pay to have it all chased in.
But the terminating of the socket and all the torn up sheathing is just rough as a badgers
