Discuss Help needed. Garage wiring in the DIY Electrical Advice area at ElectriciansForums.net

So here we have a rewire to a garage, by someone who apparently has no idea of what type of earthing system he has, or whether it it’s compliant or even adequate or what bonding is required, can’t or won’t check or calculate resistances or probably doesn’t know why he even should do, or what they would mean if he did measure them, who intends to use a 150A welder, (presumably 16A supply required and are surge currents an issue?), and to boot is (in my opinion and I chose this word carefully) ignorant. I read this thread with interest hoping to learn something. I’m not disappointed.
I think it best for all concerned if this thread is locked before any more damage is done, as it appears to have become a bait fest
None of my business really, but I do hate it when people are unnecessarily rude (This implies that there are situations where it necessary to be rude, perhsps when someone is just about to injure themselves or another because they’ve done something dangerous or stupid)
Am I being a pompous g*t?

...and inspected and tested by a qualified electrician, whom was more than happy with the work i had done.

If this is true then everything is fine and dandy.... No need to worry about anything.....
 
Is the installation completed now?Are you signing the electrical certificate for design and construction?Do you have Part P building regulations in N.I.?
From your only photo, you need to fit fixed metal blanks and fit the appropriate labels to the Consumer unit to complete the job. Is the electrician pleased with the install so far?
