Customer: "Cowboy Spark Had 300 Good Reviews" | Rewiring A Botch Job With My Son (Marlon The Spark)

[@Joe90Gallagher]

I like the guys explanation of the cowboy spark. “He’s just an enthusiastic amateur, not a villain”. Great work as usual!

[@democracyforall]

Everyone is trying to be smart but who ever this guy was actually did it the hard way and the only thing that he did wrong according to regulation is that he was supposed to put it in a box, that is all , nothing was wrong with it except one thing however when people find something like that they turn a mouse into a camel ha ha because they want to look good. ha ha ha. I found a guy who had wired an emergency black wire live one into the nuetral ha ha ha, He said he simply followed the blue tages put on them by the previouse electrician. Now that is what you would called stupid not something like this, this is not bad but rather will be c3 on the certificate it wont fail, however the one I am talking about is a straight fail and also danger c2. Yet I did not put down the other electricain but rather showed him what was what , the previouse electrician GOD KNOWs who he was had put three live wires in a ceiling rose with no Nuetral Ha ha ha, I am trying to get access to the lady room at some stage to find out why , now that is stupid and dangerouse but something like here is c3 on the certificat simply needed a box to secure it and it would have been fine but someone could make joke and say why do it the hard way but that is nothing comapred to what I am talking about what I am dealing with but I do not put people down or trying to make myself clever like many people do online on purpose. Thus an inspector would not have failed this and will the good man delroy have told that to the owner of the house? NO, the inspector would simply put down C3 and say put it in a box, Yet i see pure hypocracy how people are telling right out lies to people to promote their business I might open a chanell and expose them may be? This was C3 it was not a fail actually.

[@Joe90Gallagher]

I’m in no way qualified to judge the accuracy of the job. I purely stated it was the explanation of a cowboy that I liked. 👍

[@democracyforall]

@@Joe90Gallagher I agree but am pretty angry at delroy for not telling the owner of the house that it was a pass but c3 only. If we want to promote our own business we do not need to destroy others , thanks

[@eastwayelectrical]

Thanks we try our best

[@chrisardern4594]

Got to love those web sites that recommend trades. This guy must be really popular and have what was it 300 friends er I mean reviews. When the customer gives his review I wonder if it makes it to the review page.

[@yacinehachani9754]

What the heck was that?? Heart breaking to see that someone could do that.. feel sorry for the client for loosing money and time.. great job Del.. keep doing good work 👍

“Oh my days!” It’s another delroy video. Keep em coming delroy. Love your work mate.

[@buckshee]

Good to bump into you outside Toolstation the other day Del, if you ever have any solar questions then feel free to ask me as that's what I cover.

[@MMG_MoonManGuitar]

Shockingly bad!!!! Glad there are decent sparks like you Del fixing this sort of rubbish!!!

Nice job boys. Happy Christmas and all the best for 2022, stay safe!

Jesus - what a botch up you had to deal with. I have been out the game since 1986 and I still would have done a job that would have passed any critique. Love the vids lads

[@jakestanton1350]

Should of got someone in to get rid of that speed fit to the rads while the floor was up 😅

If you want a job done right get these boys in

In my experience, the only tradesmen you can trust are the ones who film everything on KZbin!

Nice lesson in how to do things properly, keep up the good work Del!

Most "Review sites" will not allow a bad / negative review, all they want is the money from the trades person.

[@cglees]

The notches in the centre of the joists don’t conform to regs either. Beyond the maximum permitted distance from the wall

[@Saladbowlero]

Great channel brother 🙏

[@BritishJax]

Seems like the guy couldn't be bothered to run new wires and just wanted to get home 😂

[@dav01kar]

Hate working with hardly any floor down, still makes it a bit easier running cables.

[@telosfd]

I don't understand how it is possible for an electrical installation to have the cables running on the floor! How come they don't dig the wall vertically, with junction boxes near the ceiling, and pipes up to the electrical panel.

[@roceloi]

Why in uk dont use conduit? for my its incredible to trow wires under a floor and when you ahave a fault it begans a nigmare, no?

[@Mickymaxywonder]

Yo man this is beautiful the skill,teamwork,respect,and hard work of u master electricians is a pleasure to see big fan of your channel from ireland. #LEGEND #HEROELECTRICIAN

[@brianwimpenny1643]

Delroy you need to advise this guy to report him to trading standards he was never a electrician.. just a cowboy 🤠. The work was shocking & if he's not stopped he'll kill someone one day..by house fire or electric shock by the poor workmanship! 🙄

[@amateurvegan2636]

What are the chances that the homeowners just had a go himself and doesn’t want to admit it ?

[@brianwimpenny1643]

@@amateurvegan2636 doubt that he didn't seem to realise that it was a bad job.. he doesn't seem to have any electrical experience always best like jobs like that to get a professional to do the work.. it's a false economy doing it yourself and the works not up to spec costs you more in the long run

[@markrussell4282]

With all that insulation being laid into the floor void do you have to give any consideration for derating on the cabling?

[@eastwayelectrical]

No I don't think so, if you were to carry out calculation for cables used for this type of installation you would find the actual size to be well below the standard 2.5mm2 that is commonly used. Therefore no concern of the insulation affecting the cables.

[@garrett69]

The insulation is sat at the top of the joist, there's still a massive air gap below.

They were taken out and replaced

I agree mate and what I like is that he never gets really angry at what he finds and just gets on with the job eh??

300 good reviews from completely unaware victims… I mean customers 😡 this customer may well have been another good review if the builder never found it and told him too

wonder how many of those 300 happy customers homes burnt down.

How u running your sockets in old coulers

The old cable is whats existing, they are only doing a partial rewire of the legs which have joints on.

[@eicrcomplianceltd7590]

One question shouldn't the sockets be 450mm to the bottom from finish floor minimum? 🤔 or is that what the client wants? This isn't a criticism, just asking.

[@londontrada]

That's only for new builds. You should know that if you're carrying out EICRs. 🤔
