Evening everyone this is my first post on the forum, would just like your opinions and any experience you've had with this situation,
I was called by a friend of mine this evening who has just had a boiler installed on one of the new schemes that seem to be everywhere at the moment, he told me the "electrician" had disconnected some sockets in the lounge of the property stating "they had to be disconnected as they where unsafe". So I called round this evening to see what the situation was, the electrician found that a socket was spurred off the original boiler spur (16 amp direct from mains non rcd protected) so they disconnected the sockets and connected the new boiler to the spur. Now in my opinion if they thought the spur/wiring incorrect then a new spur should have been wired direct from mains and tested accordingly and test cert supplied also main bonding has been installed direct to boiler (water and gas) not to stop tap point of entry or meter. No certification has been supplied at all. Was just wondering if anyone else has come across this on any of these new boiler scheme installs. It's just annoying that there seems to be a kind of gold rush at the moment with every man and his dog trying to through these jobs together. Thanks for reading this long post any opinions would be great fully received.
Cheers
