‘Premature collapse innit guv’And that is a special type of wrong!

I think the biggest mistake made was in not using white cable and hiding her glasses.Just been sent these from a friend. Plasterer had been asked to go and make good the ceiling.
Seems the ‘electrician’ told the old dear that it was the only way to do it because it was a flat roof. Basically taking advantage of her.
She’s now left with a hefty bill for a suspended ceiling to be done or get another electrician to rectify.

WHY? Why would anyone do this? I'm genuinely struggling to see how someone could have done a job this badly.Just been sent these from a friend. Plasterer had been asked to go and make good the ceiling.

Apparently the electrician told the old dear that she would have to have a suspended ceiling as there was ‘nowhere to run the cables’ with it being a flat roof ext.Something odd here. The wall has been chased and filled. Why would they bother to do that if they were going to chuck the rest of the length on the surface of the ceiling? Maybe the plan was for a dropped ceiling in the first place?
I'm literally flabbergasted at this work. I'm lost for words.Just been sent these from a friend. Plasterer had been asked to go and make good the ceiling.

It works but it's inside out and back to front lolIf the gate opens into the garden, then it works doesn’t it?
Not electrical but my dad's next door neighbour..
I couldn't ever even imagine attempting to carry out work like that. If the flat roof was that much of an issue it would be better to just pull the ceiling down, wire it and then fit new boards. Who would want to try and batten over all that lot now anyway?! Wrecked the nice coving too.Just been sent these from a friend.
The down lights are flush so they must be in some kind of voidApparently the electrician told the old dear that she would have to have a suspended ceiling as there was ‘nowhere to run the cables’ with it being a flat roof ext.
Which as we all know is bo**cks as there is still a ceiling void.
How do you get through joists with this method? Is the strip big enough to get a drill in?What i've done in the past with flat roofs is cut two channels out and fish cable across then that way you can put the old cut strip back in and do minimal making good.
Just as well you got a picture of my van on a good day.... (and yes it's blue)
Did you check that he didn't rewire the plugs to compensate.....
I thought that was how they come from the dealership?Just as well you got a picture of my van on a good day.... (and yes it's blue)
Alternative, though not very nice, method is you cut a chase in the plasterboard across each joist. You then fish across between the joists, drop under one using the slot, then fish across the next gap, and so on. Then you're left with a row of smallish holes to fill in.How do you get through joists with this method? Is the strip big enough to get a drill in?
Yeah if you do it wide enough, normally I just do a small notch and use a safe plate, once filled and painted you can't tell.How do you get through joists with this method? Is the strip big enough to get a drill in?
