Good Old Delroy, he gets all the best Jobs :)

[mainline]

Anyone else see Del's latest? How thr ---- does he not see it's a fused line and neutral cutout and not, as he reports it to be a fuse for the flat he's in and upstairs....Hoe hashe not come across one in his many years?....Oh my days (Bet you read that in his voice?) anyone want to throw a MOCOPA guide at him to help him out?

Just saw cjr s latest where instead of using swa he decided to run 5 mtrs of tails you can see they arent more than 50mm deep so require rcd and where they run down the wall hes put a plate over them for protection with no bonding.

Maybe racking up YouTube views is more important....

 

[Dustydazzler]

Because he is a plumber and that is what plumbers do...

 

[MJPD29]

Cjrs knowledge is extremely poor he is more of a DIYer from what I can see. He tries so hard to please everyone but from what ican see he takes far too long on each job doing pointless things and deletes any critical comments. A lot of the stuff he does screams incompetence

You are referring to this?

Latest install from Del , he is rewiring what another electrician recently rewired

 

[littlespark]

he takes far too long on each job

……filming himself, and possibly having several takes before he gets it “right”

Surely these videos that show the wrong way to do things being taken as the right way… it’s “fake news” and should be called out.

I think Delroy must have gone on a refresher course he's looking semi-competent lately

He's still generally clueless but improving

Yes quite enlightening isn't he

That is not a fused neutral who ever made that statement.

Indeed, I wanted to check I didn't have the wrong video as I think Delroy was spot on.

 

[Petej999]

He does a lot of checking earths with a voltage tester

Wouldn't let him near my house, to do electrics, not ever no chance.

Delboy the ---boy springs to mind

Delroy is far from dangerous just seems to be stuck in his ways, working as he probably learnt on his apprenticeship all those years ago. He does however seem to be a tad senile when talking and explaining things.

 

[Dave OCD]

I just think it can be very easy to find fault and criticise , especially when someone has the b###s to release 'warts and all' video of their work. There are a lot worse that Delroy out there believe me !
I say leave the bloke alone, it's meant to be the season of goodwill after all !

 

[Dustydazzler]

Delroy is fine , he takes on sh!t jobs that you can never make look perfect

He does his best , his work is fine imo

Can never decide if serious

He's just ok and i don't rate myself highly either

He puts himself out there and he does do that sneering at DIY work so he's fair game for comparison imo

On the latest video and I'm not up on UK rules

From memory:

So he says to the customer "what do you want me to do" instead of evaluating the situation and telling the customer what he should do

Next thing then I dunno how it finished , did he replace the exposed wiring in a section of a ring

So that was all good but was he rewiring a section of a ring final circuit where the condition of the joints in the remainder of the ring was unknown.

Can't say I finished the whole thing but my first thought was the new work should be separate if above scenario true.

Not seen the video in question, but it's unlikely that he'd have been able to visually inspect the entire circuit. If he addressed those issues that became apparent, whether through testing or visual inspection, the entire circuit will be tested prior to being re-energised. It's worth bearing in mind the different requirements, with regard to testing, between GB & IE.
