What do you think?

I was asked by a guy I know who has just taken over a pub to have a look at the electrics for him, just a brief once over to see what I thought and it doesn't look too good to me.

if you are ripping that 12 way CU in pic 1 out, save me the lid. i need 1 for a job that's got the lid missing.

 

[needasparks]

bit dodgy having two supplies in there eh, from the pics is a single phase and is that a three phase also ?
Bit run of the mill for a pub though, they normally use anyone whose cheap and drinks there to do most things in them places.
I used to hate working on pubs for the reasons you have selected in photos. Now the bottom has fallen out of the pub game i guess even less money is there to spend on the places so may get worse.

I did have a couple of them I lobbed in the store for rubbish. will have a look see if theres one still in there if you want, dont hold your breath though. your welcome to it mate if there.

I'm not getting involved with it but out of curiosity I would quite like to work out what's going on and shall be returning Friday to have a nosey.

The big board in picture 4 , two of those SWA's are distribution cables and the third one disappears up over the garage in the back of the pub somewhere.

Friday I shall open the door and see what's what, if you don't hear from me again you'll know why. :behead:

 

[jase]

pubs and schools in my experience are the worst for add-ons and spiders off and spurs off spurs etc, looks like he's got some serious damp issues too

 

[needasparks]

And a big dog by the looks.......or a big leak

Is the pub around Woking? Go on, name and shame - wonder what their food is like.

 

[ipf]

As has been said 'usual for a pub'. But at least there's some labelling and the mounting board is still fixed to the wall...........Not too keen on the idea of a commode in the corner though.lol.

Well it's kind of spicey and the chefs have a relationship with the British army and it's not in Woking, it's just outside.

 

[kamkam]

Pirbright?

I'm not saying.

The story is they have just taken over a really run down ---- hole of a pub and are trying to turn it into a restaurant.

The pub has been absolutely neglected for years and to be fair the new owner is trying to do things the right way.

I have quite a lot of respect for the Nepalese and so don't mind looking around the place for a bit of grub here and there, the kitchen is actually not bad.

Mind you after being in that basement I suddenly don't feel very hungry.

 

[telectrix]

what, no likee ratatouille???

 

[La Poste]

Maybe that bowl left on the seat was my free dinner.

I used to hate working in pubs, after working in a pub you never wanted to eat in one.

Is that ''Black Mould on the walls in Pic 3 and 4?? If it is, it's bad news it looks extensive too!! I wouldn't want to be staying down there too long, the spores of that stuff isn't too healthy for you ...lol!!

It's also a real nightmare to get rid off, you only need to miss a few spores and it's back with a vengeance. Even the professionals can have trouble completely eradicating the stuff, often having 2 or 3 goes at it!! lol!!

I would definately worried about that switch fuse.

It is made by Proteus and could burst into flames any minute :smilewinkgrin:

Why do you say That?

Do they have a history of bursting into flames or are you joking?

 

[Flyingsparks]

Many years ago I can remember their consumer units being nicknamed Proteus incendiary devices.
They used to be very poor build quality.

 

[La Poste]

Well I shall be taking more pictures tomorrow.

The grand opening ceremony of the Proteus incendiary device.

God knows what I will find inside.
