That's a bizarre interaction. Maybe she doesn't clean her floor. Maybe she used second hand tiles. Weird.

I’m not sure you did an apprenticeship? Just a Part P electrician?

Rough

We have similar issues in the telecommunications industry when electricians get involved with data cables and networks. We have 8 wires you have 3.

Walk !!

The electrician who did that wiring also makes chairs.

suppriesd you didnt attempt to get a rod up you could have possible fished that cable over to avoid the trunking.

I think this is delroy from can’t pay or we’ll take it away

1:40 I’m completely on your side here bc the age of the flooring would let you know when the system was installed-however why did she say 90 degrees? Do the old timers in England still use Fahrenheit?

The lady might be suffering from dementia.

The floor was installed in May!!!…..2001

Why she mad at you though 😂

The woman seemed fair. Who cares about the floor? You can either do the job or not end of story.

This was absolutely hilarious mate, sorry you had to go through that, worthy of a reality TV episode....

This is the exact reason I wouldn’t change a board without an eicr, your opening up a can of worms and your left to deal with….. well it all worked fine before you changed it. Sod that eicr every time or they can use someone else Simple. And I don’t think Ken is telling the full story on that one

Did you prove that everything unplugged spurs switched off usb sockets in circuit? Even a neon on an accessory can cause a dead short 0.00 meg reading especially when testing L-N

Hard to believe that either of you are qualified. Watching a tradesman struggling with the most basic of residential testing is painful. I've met a lot of your sort, very confident yet somehow inept. Good luck on your journey.

What kind of idiot would put bloody blue tack on a light fitting Are these How dumb are these cowboys 😆

Good old school attitude, well done my man.

I’m shocked you’ve never heard of a tile drill bit. You could have easily fished a cable to a more desirable place and fitted a flush shaver point. If you need a electrician mate to help you, let me know. I’ve just completed my Level 2.

An electrician who cleans after himself. Have not seen that before 😂 4:50

Is here name Maggie?

I think you did exactly the right thing. When you get a feeling about a customer on an estimate always go with your instinct, nearly always ends with a dispute at the end when payment is due, even when the work is completed 100%.

'ive never seen this' its only transformer for lighting lol

hold up hold up🤣

its like the blind leading the blind, neither have a clue what's going on, del dont let him get a word in edgeways tho 🤦‍♂

I don’t think those cupboards should be so close over the cocking hob .

I started as a power lineman in the U.S. in 1972. I worked for 43 years then retired. It’s a great trade!

Was other GPO’s on the ground floor checked for Active to Earth Voltage?

Not exactly the best job you've done Del, looks a little shoddy.

If it’s a semi detached house then her neighbours cupboard is just through that wall….could be something they are doing and she’s hearing it.

🤔 bathroom zoneing

sue them ? d****b shiiite

mask on ....Shiiites

Should have mounted it to the wood on the sink unit.

Classic case of a jobsworth getting angry at people with actual lives and proper jobs 😂 - The laptop and the dog biscuits says it all.

Would be useful if you told me what the fault was and hope you were fixing it Sir IBEW ELECTRICIAN

I didn't have one as bad as that but only noticed a problem when my daughters computer was shutting off. I removed three sockets close to it to check and they were all fine and then removed the one the computer was plugged into and found something had leached out of the wall and damaged the socket. Swapped the socket and not had a problem since. Wasn't quite as bad as this one thankfully.

Watched a couple of videos, this guy instantly gives off an air of trust and experience. I sound like an advert hahah. Shame he's complete opposite way (I'm West London), I'd call him if I ever needed electrics checked

What size conductors is the pyro? What size conductors feed the entire building?

Residential wiring in the UK is quite different than the U.S.

you talk too much . LEAVE !

Your cavity is probably bridged full of rubble in that corner. Those sockets might be better higher up on the wall.

20:42 He aint good at safety huh the burns is like a carpenter missing a finger.

Glue a shaver socket to the tiles with no more nails???? Really???? Glue any electrical accessory to a surface? What happened to screws.

The guy that came up to you that claimed to control the centres board was 100% not a sparky. That's a caretaker at the very most.

I don't know much abut electricity. But im hearing a lot of "maybe" and "are you sure" 😂

Originally wired in the 60s or 70s judging by the solid green sleeving. Back in the day, galvanised, or even painted boxes were the norm on cold solid walls. They will all eventually rust due to condensation. I came across a problem a few years ago where RCD was tripping when clothes were being dried in the house. The moisture was condensing and running out the boxes! As the house had recently been rewired with metal boxes screwed to waterproof render, then dry lined , I ended up putting in foam tape to stop the water condensing in the box, and recommended using a vented tumble dryer. Problem never recurred, but plastic boxes would have been the way to go.

Our flats were built in the 60s and are wired with pyro… it's always fun when an 'electrician' comes to do any work from the council and gets confused because they claim to have 'never seen that before'. I know I'd do a better job myself most of the time. I did loads of pyro work in the 90s, it was an art to do terminations and stay clean! 😁

I'm a retired electrician in Australia. The way this guy is violently pulling on these old cables, bending them back and forward, no surprise they are all "brittle" and breaking off.
