Just saw a clip on the news about a brick-laying robot.
Is the writing on the wall for sparkies?
Hum .............. not sure how a brick laying robot could wire a house

........Maintenance sparks, though ....for when they get fooked up and smothered in wet mortar by the brickies...?Hum .............. not sure how a brick laying robot could wire a house
I want the word caveat banned from the forum
Could be quite common in that streetIt's a disgrace, but not much to do about it, I agree.
However, I'm just wondering how big the housing estate is....and how many other examples could be found with something similar.....now that COULD be interesting and maybe stir something up with a major housing developer.
Unfortunately this is not a rare sight. It is a bit quicker to do it incorrectly so some folk (being polite) do it. Perhaps think about Wago style connectors to get all the earths together without being in series
Presumably the contractor doing the installation did the EIC? You could flag it with which ever scheme they’re with and see if there are any SM review spots you can highlight it on. Otherwise don’t waste your time and sit back knowing that you’ve sorted it
You're lucky it's 6.0mm most new builds have only 2.5, when I used to work for a company that did new houses we took the T& E outside to an IP box to convert to SWA.Although not textbook if the other end was soundly made off using gland and preferably earthnut wouldn't of worried.
I'd be prepared to go one further and bet that was the work of someone who trained abroad - for some reason foreigners seem to see armour or braiding as for mechanical protection only, and don't bother terminating it.Its the sad reflection of what happens when unskilled people "throw" homes together .................
