This attached picture shows what some contractor at some point has qualified as tails. This cable runs from the front of house where the service head is directly to the rear of the house (some 30 meters of cable run) to supply a 6 way Consumer unit in the kitchen which feeds everything in the house barring the lighting circuit. The contractors isolator had been installed recently (no more than 5 years ago) and this cable had been terminated directly into the output of the isolator.

The tenant of the house, a beautiful young lady, with 2 lovely young children is so very lucky she decided to have a cooker circuit installed and pay for it herself because her landlord refused to do so.Wanna see some scary stuff 20121207_133042 - EletriciansForums.net
 
Sometimes it beggars belief what people will do!
 
If the tennent pays for the new circuit and remedial work, lets hope the landlord deducts the cost from her next couple of monthly payments
 
Dont think I have ever seen anything that bad its horrific. The tennant should report that to environmental health or the council as the landlord should be made to answer questions on the safety of the property he/she is letting out.

That terminal earth block looks less than 4 years old.....it was probably fitted by a labourer who was wanting to get to the pub and at the same time angry with their boss on a Friday afternoon.....

So what is your plan to go forward with the installation of cooker circuit now?? Is this young lady also prepared to pay for remedials to the existing installation, or is that being thrown back to the Landlord to cover??

 
The earth bonding was done by the ----- who completed the periodic 6 months ago before the young lady moved in.

I will be taking it further!
 
periodic???? the only piece of paper issued on that job should have been a danger notice, with copies sent to landlord, local council, and environmental health.
