ive just been round to my friends house to see if i could put a couple of spurs+drops for appliances in his kitchen extention because the builder had missed them on the kitchen plan so his spark hadnt put them in. fair enough i thought as i went round could just be an honest mistake. as soon as i walked in the alarm bells were ringing as they were complaing about other stuff the builder had done wrong.
took a couple of fronts off, no grommets, no brown sleeve in switch lives. none of the sockets were even the same hight, more checking, no gas bond, no water bond, its not like they hadnt been upgraded they just werent there. the extention had a 2 way sub board supplying the cooker and sockets with 25mm tails which is fine except that the cheapskate had used 4mm earth (he'd doubled it up to make 8mm, clever lad) and finally had extended the lighting cicuit from the existing house which was supplied from a rewireable board with no rcd protection, and there was no cert to go with this quality work.
it really boils my **** to think that these ***** can get away with this and give everyone like us a bad name
