Electrician advice please

There really should be something to protect people in these situations. But even social housing are known to do these sort of things. This one was near me. Slug-infested home leads to £5,500 compensation pay-out - https://www.greatyarmouthmercury.co.uk/news/housing/compensation-over-slug-infested-great-yarmouth-home-9215918
It sounds like environmental health could provide some protection against revenge evictions, if they would though is another matter.

It wasn't intended to be fun, it was intended to point out that tenants who annoy the landlord get evicted so people should think about the possible consequences before advising a tenant to start involving authorities.

Already taken him to environmental health once and I'll do it again. He's not even put my bond if that deposit thing they legally have to do so wil cost him 2500 to kick me out anyways, and at this point I'll happily take the money lol. The first time I got environmental health involved this test u all keep mentioning was one of the mandatory things that needed doing. I've started a claim with Scottish power/Siemens over leaving me with no electric after smart meters where fitted. They are going to send out a technician to find out how this happend and to check over the electrics. Now the land lord is practically begging me to stop going forward with my claim with Scottish power, which makes me think he's hiding some thing, he was all up for it when he thought he would just get compensated, now all of a sudden he doesn't want them any where near.

Just a quick update if any 1 gives 2 shits lol,
Turns out the smart meter "engineer" screwed through a wire that ran to the dining room plug socket, making a certain section of my smart meter "live". Thank god me or my wife didn't touch it.

 

[littlespark]

Thanks for the update....

Is it all sorted? LL happy? you happy?

As for giving shits.... We do give 2 from time to time.

Glad you got this sorted. Did an electrician fault find and do you feel any safer regarding the rest of the installation?

But the meter is screwed to the back board and Henley blocks thats the only place he's been.
Did he hit a cable behind this looking at the picture it seems doubtful.

Yes an electrician found the fault, didn't notice it tbh, but when pointed out it's clearly visible.

It is screwed to the back box. If you look on the picture to the right of the actual smart meter. There is two boxes with wires from the meter running into them, they are screwed onto a piece of wood, behind the wood runs a grey wire, that's what he screwed through.

Waiting for the first time someone's post autocorrects to 'bullrubbish'. That'll cause some head scratching.

 

[loz2754]

Bullshite. I bet this didn't get through.

 

[littlespark]

This thread is off tangent.

Gone from “fault after smart meter install” to “how can we get around the swear filter?”

Well, fork me…. Won’t be long til admin cleans it up a bit.

And they put a couple of blanks in the fusebox to cover the holes/spare ways?

Oh no they didn't go that far.

 

[duffy87]

Least he's helping with the certificate

 

[Aaron b]

Well that's pretty shameful. The blanks are pence.
