i have just walked out on my job(as a subby). all the trouble started when they asked me to, through crimp a 10mm main bond i think this was in my 1st week that i started i told my supervisor this was not allowed he said its too late to replace it on hand over,the supervisor and the director were ok with the lads crimping old 10mm at each end because it looks new, so when the work gets checked they dont knock any thing off
while working as a snagger i saw the 1 rewire crew filling out install certs off the periodic the only testing that they did was a ze and end to end on ring main`s
when i imformed the supervisor he didnt seam bothered.
on 1 occasion i witnessed the supervisor telling some one over the phone that they could test there next job from the van,
i told the supervisor that the lads didnt use brown\blue over sleve or use 3amp fuse`s, he said it`s ok they dont check,
about a week later the clarke of works was sacked(i think) the 1st thing the new clarke of works checked was fan and heating spurs for 3 amp fuse`s and heating controls for sleving
the same lads cheeting the test were joining conductors by twisting them together with a drill and taping them up i reported this the supervisor wasnt happy and he said he told them about this, same lads about a week later had a faulty combi(brand new) spent 2 hours checking the circuits, i was sent to reconnect when i did it tripped, tested it and fonud n to e dead short removed stat and programmer and saw new 3 core at programmer and old 3 core at stat, under the floor upstairs another tvited joint about 5" it took about 10mins to un tape it all it was a good un, i cripmed it up no fault, these lads got moved to a differnt site
they were cought by the clark of works using a cpc as a s/wire on a heating circuit then the company sacked them,
i was then sent testing on another site luckly 4 me tho old bonds were 6mm so they all got replaced the problems i got then were i only tested 4 3 bedroom house`s when his other tester could do 5 or 6 i think he told me, when i confronted the director i told him that 1 of his lads said to me "cant belive your doing insolation resistance cause there on rcd`s" so i said to the director what do i put on the cert he said >200M so i said what if its 0.50Mhom, no answer
on another accasion the supervisor sent 2 testers into a propperty were i was changing a stat they kicked off to them selfs because the board inside was a birds nest, there was 2 rcbos that didnt trip i was sent to get replacements by the supervisor but also on my way sort a faulty heating near the office, the faulty heating took about 1hr 30mins come back to site with the rcbos the supervisor said the testers couldnt wait so they have moved on i said what about the rcbos he said leave them, so that job has 2 circuits not rcd protected 1 is a 6amp and the other a 32amp also the gas bond is crimped and hidden in the wall behind plaster board, but they have a install cert
i was then sent to periodic test the next phase of work, about dinner time got a phone call off the director got to put the estamated age of install 25years cause it councel policy to rewire 30years and above, theres no money in rewires, and i couldnt get in trouble 4 it, the 1st 2 or 3 test`s i did went down as 30years then after the phone call i started 25 so i didnt get more conflict
on the following monday the qualified supervisor and the supervisor belittled me in the office pulling me up on the certs. it was about the estmated age of install made me change it from 30 to 25 years when the age is more like 40 years with old immperial conductors no one new the bs numbers 4 so i put 2.5mm/1.5mm wich is wrong this was on the 9/8/10 the test meter was due 4 calabration that day to my knolage it still has`nt been 4 calabration
on the 20/8/10 i had to change a dis board private job all they gave me was board and new meter tails, on arrival there was no double pole isloator, old 6mm bonds, no shower pull cord and a broken socket back box when i rung the director he said he`s not priced 4 them just do the job and put it all on the cert, so i said how can i, we had a heated talk ending with his saying i am lucky to have a job, so i did the board i spoke to the supervisor on the phone asking if he had servayed this job he said i new it would fail the test but we need the business and we will price for the other work after we have done the board he was in his van with the director and i was on loud speaker the director said put it on a periodic and picked up £265 4 doing this job. when i dropped the money with the director i said we shouldnt be doing this he said i no and took the money
the supervisor is the director`s father in-law
they are both fraudsters in my eyes,some of the work is substandard and a lot of fraud, but they have a qualified supervisor so there names dont go no wear near a electrical cert and say your the tester
i was stressed b4 i walked out wondering what they would tell me to do next,
now i am stressed because i dont have a job and it pay day today, suprise suprise i havent been paid, when i do get paid i want to report this company but who should i tell????????????
