10 years ago had the council decide it was time for a rewire in the flat I rented in East London. After these geniuses yanked so hard they ripped red/black 2.5mm2 inside the conduit that went into the kitchen, they decide to run PVC channel throughout wherever they felt like. Guy in charge went around with a rotary hammer and 6" long 7mm bit, for the 1" plastic anchors... Wall to the toilet was 4" thick. Pushing hard on the drill hit his head on the wall as the bit inevitably went straight through and tore a foot radius of plaster over the bath on opposite side. They came back a week later to empty a tube of caulk into it.

£4500 for that! Is it in Jordans area for Artisan Electrics ?! For that price I would of taken my time and made it neater with the cables supported in the loft and away from the heating pipes which I would say is a C2 and removed old cables after,It looks like it was rushed in on a tight deadline as in get the money and scarper. I'd of renewed the earth clamp for what little effort and cost it would take. The whole job looks a mess after the consumer unit. As for the blanks in the consumer unit I'd prefer metal but I've had a couple of Hager metal consumer units lately still supplied with the plastic blanks off the shelf and the wholesalers not having the metal blanks in stock. I think consumer unit manufacturers should all supply say 5 metal blanks as standard in the packaging.

[@amarcy5369]

Hi Nick This is always a difficult call , the customer is reliant on the tradesman to do his job properly , and the tradesmen has a duty of care to the customer to do a professional job. Sounds simple you would think , but because our trade been has been allowed to be overrun by cowboys this is the inevitable result. And I blame 100% the trades governing body’s , most of them can quote the the regs with total ease, yet they couldn’t wire an out house . If they were doing their jobs properly 90% of this behaviour would be eliminated . And a proper registrar should be in place to list all those who have been found to be guilty of failing to meet the required standards. Backed up with hefty fines for those who continue to trade. We pay for inspections and monitoring . So they should be held accountable to prevent this happening. And finally I’d say to everyone out there who come across this type of work tell people, every mate , wholesaler , even next doors cat if you have to . Hit them we’re it hurts because trust me they won’t give a toss about you . Bless you Nick but you’ve got to expose these people so others will be not court out in the future .

[@malcb1864]

I'm not an electrician but dealing with contractors and arranging quotes is a big part of my job in estates management. One of the things I come up against is cable protection. I've asked various electricians and they all give me a different answer. If the cable is under the plaster does it still need capping? Some have said yes others have said depends on the area being installed or as long as it's protected at the board and clipped. I'm not an electrician so can't argue but I would be interested to know if there are different options for different situations. It's difficult as a customer because I don't have the knowledge and I'm putting my trust in someone else. Some things seem to be obvious others there seem to be more than one option.

[@paullyons4624]

There is no regulation that says capping should be used

[@westinthewest]

Steel capping is not recognised by any British Standard, and is not mentioned in BS7671 . It's there as an option in case you want to protect it from the plasterer's trowel. Steel channel ('capping') cannot be classed as an earthed metallic covering which might provide compliance with 522.6.204(i). Even if you somehow managed to earth the capping, it won't allow enough fault current to cause ADS if penetrated by a nail, screw or the like.

[@bongyb9407]

Capping is there to hold the cable back for the plasterer , it doesn’t really protect the cable as it is fixed to the wall with screws or nails and very easily drilled through. There is no reg to say it is needed however it is good practice and if someone wasn’t using it and just clipping cables behind plaster I would definitely look at the quality of other work they had done.

I’ve seen worse than that - customer paid £5k up front for a new board with the RCD’s disconnected - new cables out of the fuse board then jointed onto the old cables above the downstairs toilet ceiling - the “spark” got the floorboards up on the landing and used a twin and earth as some strappers to a 2 way switch but used the cpc as the line conductor - customer was an elderly man and used all of his savings to get it done - oh and when he put the boards back down he screwed into a central heating pipe 6 times in different places. This went beyond rough and he was a proper rogue trader - NICEIC were trying to prosecute him for using their logo when he wasn’t registered with them - we followed him round for a couple of years and every job was the same - £4,5k to rewire a 1 bed flat which was only rewired 10 years earlier - all he did was change the switch faces - again money up front and an old lady - scumbags

Shocking

[@johnwarwick4105]

This is the sort of guy trading standards should be taking to court as the customer probably can’t afford to risk the money

[@anthonydobbs9656]

There is just no words to describe this....

[@tanja8907]

I know! I've never seen anything so scary!!!! I haven't slept for weeks because of panic attacks!

[@petercullen8067]

I was a joiner just a lazy non professional job to leave those cables in that state and the whole job very poor

[@ADF-js9vi]

Will NICEIC take any action against the installer?

[@Sparks1Plumbers0]

Will they f##k! NICEIC are useless when it comes to tackling rouge installers, all they are interested in is collecting membership fees so you can legitimately use their logo on your van or clothing! All they will say to the rouge installer is 'how would you like to pay your next membership fee by ... Direct Debit or second-hand luncheon vouchers'!!!

[@ADF-js9vi]

@@Sparks1Plumbers0 Thank you. So many of these industry bodies seem to be completely toothless when it comes to taking decisive action. As a consumer this makes it very difficult to know who to trust. I understand why someone would reach out to a trades like Nick who 'advertises' their work on You Tube.

[@Sparks1Plumbers0]

@@ADF-js9vi True. It's a sad fact but too many of these 'Trade Approved Schemes ' are all about the money (as in their fees) and little about actually policing the quality of the traders they 'recommend' to the general public! Take the likes of CheckerTrade... they allow positive reviews from whoever (including the traderes own fake positive ones) ... but try to post a negative review and you have to jump through so many hoops to gain approval of your negative one they just don't get posted. As such the customers get ripped off as they trust all the positive remarks about any and all listed business and the lazy lowlife traders get off scott free to rip off even more poor unsuspecting people! TBH I much prefer Word Of Mouth recommendation as that way if I fcuk up then people hear about it and I don't get more work. 🤔

[@ADF-js9vi]

@@Sparks1Plumbers0 Thank you for your answer. As a trades person a you legally required to be a member of these various schemes? If so, then I think they should have more teeth. 😒

[@154electrician]

Your a 100% right

[@c4turekitty]

Madness? No, that is SPARTA!

[@HandyKindaGuyUK]

Sorry Nick, twas a Friday, I found an open pub. Had to be gone

[@nickjohnson2570]

If the guy who did that job just came back for half a day to polish off a bit, clipped some cables and put a bit of lagging over hot pipes where cables cross them, it wouldn't be too terrible. Buy I do agree, it does seem like no one gave a toss

[@RyansRandomRants]

Things like this make me happy I'm paying nothing upfront for my rewire.

[@nickaf5262]

Best thing for that is Rip it out and start again🙈

[@billypeffers8992]

Watching this video shaking my head, as a young spark even I can see that’s disgraceful
