So I have been doing it wrong all these years

[123]

A how to video on installing an external socket Get's bizarre around the 2 minute mark

 

[Pete999]

Seen it before, plank comes to mind

 

[Karin]

couldn't really hear what he was saying, but after wondering why he was drawing round the box you suddenly see what's coming like a runaway train..

EDIT: just looked up and WTF did that cable come from haha

 

[Silly Sausage]

4 inches

 

[westward10]

I have shown this to many people the joke is he actually thinks he has done a good job. I actually tried to contact him to hurl abuse at him with no success.

 

[Pete999]

That's a right abortion of a job if ever I saw one, it takes the trade "Electrician" to a new level, bet they get loads of work, not

 

[Leesparkykent]

And he considers himself a craftsman......

 

[bigspark17]

Disgusting people like this charge unknowing customers for below diy standard of work.!! Shame you couldnt find him i would also like to call him up!!!! Argh!!

Frightening, wonder if he tries to recess the boilers into the wall as well

According to that link he has been a spark for 20 years

Not one to put down another's work but MY LORD!

 

[Nickj]

I hope he has amazing legal insurance. Very irresponsible of him to tell people to "have a go" and call them if they get stuck. Nor does he mention anything about notification, by time they've paid to notify to "have a go" they'd have spent a lot more than getting someone in

 

[KennyKen]

Unfortunately that's how people think these days. Oh Electrical is a doddle, Brown to Brown. Earth to Earth and blew to bits. The amount of DIY Donuts who try explaining how they have done a job and then say "Huh all this Apprentiship Bollox". I then look at there install while there waving a shitty Nokia in my face. Hold on mate. You've fed a electric shower in 2.5mm?

 

[7029 dave]

What cracks me up is that he has sunk in a surface mounted box. lol

 

[Dave OCD]

£85 minimum charge and a 'special offer' to replace an existing socket for a USB version for £50, not cheap is he !

 

[westward10]

Got his address and I will hire the minibus.

 

[Wilko]

Aaand he's proud of it !

 

[bigspark17]

Nic should be ashamed having a member of this quality under its umberella!!

Changing a socket faceplate is probably about his level, that and fitting a new plug top.

 

[7029 dave]

Rough as a badgers arse.

 

[123]

I thought it was a spoof at first - his marking of 4 inches on the drill (I wonder what he claims to the wife!), sinking the box, the mess of sealing around the thing...He's a craftsman though lol

 

[westward10]

I like it when he says about not teaching you suck eggs about connecting the socket cos he probably don't know himself. The amount of comments on utube is unbelievable.

 

[telectrix]

did he ever get round to connecting the cpc to the actual socket as well as to the back box parking terminal

 

[Rpa07]

Phone him up Tel and ask him, I think he's still up reading his BS7671

more likely the beano. what a effin' clown.

 

[Rpa07]

Wonder if he has a 24/7 mobile number hehehe! Dooontttt

 

[stevethesparks]

This cant be real.....surely. If it is he belongs in a nut-house.

That link also brings up a photo of some of the workers
EICR's £150 regardless of size of property.

 

[HandySparks]

It's pretty shoddy work. I wonder how he's terminated that SWA?

I wouldn't flush mount that socket in that situation, however, it's worth noting that MK do a flush mounting bezel for their Masterseal accessories:

MK Weatherproof Bezel, Masterseal Plus™, Flush Mounting, 2 Gang, Grey - http://www.neweyandeyre.co.uk/product/2500391771/MK-Weatherproof-Bezel,-Masterseal-Plus%E2%84%A2,-Flush-Mounting,-2-Gang,-Grey

Disgusting workmanship, he is a disgrace to the trade.

Yeah true, but he might be a brilliant business man= he will survive.! And that is the reality.

 

[Deleted member 93172]

If that's the way to survive, then I'm a dead man walking

 

[Simonslimline]

Crikey, this guy is clearly a picnic short of a picnic. Definitely not the full ticket lol.

 

[bigspark17]

They emailed me back following an eicr enquiryvand stated it was £150 per proerty regardlessof amount of circuits !!!!!!!! Haha.! I fancy saying i have a 3 bed house with 22 ccts and 10 s/heaters lol :/

 

[Midwest]

Incidentally, the finish of his caulking is atrocious

 

[Rpa07]

It wasn't caulking it was no nails!

 

[Wilko]

It wasn't caulking it was no nails!

Aaand - he liked it - just unbelievable !!!

 

[spary]

he'd probably make some money sending that in to YBF

 

[Wilko]

I think I'm reacting to it cause as a lad I worked with my Dad, and if I'd have done this I'd been 'told the error of my ways' for the next month. Or lifetime. Hang on, I think I can hear him now from the other side ...

 

[Midwest]

I see on the firms Materials page, they have both Metal (flush) boxes, and Plastic (surface) pattress. I wonder if scratches his head, and ponders why there's both?
Like to see the vid, them fitting the dry lining boxes :mamazed:

 

[ant_daley]

Cringing watching that, couldn't stop laughing when he measured the drill bit at 4 inches come off it pal

 

[Silly Sausage]

He's just the basket

 

[ruston]

Juts as an aside to that link , I was led to this one ; as you do lol.
I found this interesting.

Mods may want to move this to appropriate area.

 

[Midwest]

I bet JW's neighbours think he cook's some strange things on his barbecue

 

[stevethesparks]

I would also liked to have seen the piano key type wagos, I much prefer this type. I've always wondered about the twisting cable in the push fit types and how they would cope with fault currents.

Funny thing is , I could taste an smell that smoke . Stays with you doesn't it?

It's amazing the load all of those connectors took.
I thought the Wago would go first because of the spring weakening , not the wire breaking.
I was impressed to be honest.
I wonder if he dug to deep into the cable stripping it, or if it had just been worked.

 

[telectrix]

and that is 20 wasted minutes of my life that i can't get back
