35:35 The 1mm T+E to the UFH spur actually (probably) complies with the requirements for overload protection. 433.3.1(ii) allows you to omit overload protection where the characteristics of the load means it's unlikely to carry overload current (and fault current protection is met, which it will be by the 32A breaker). UFH, being a simple resistive load, has these characteristics. So unless the UFH is intended to pull more than 16A (the rating of 1mm T+E method C), it can't overload the 1mm cable. 1mm doesn't, however, meet 524.1 (min conductor for power circuit 1.5mm). None of this changes the fact that it's a crock and need sorting, but food for thought though.

As a norwegian electrician, i gotta say, those "ring circuits" are a silly and outdated way of doing things. they were done because of the price of copper, and by doing it in a ring circuit you save money on wire circumference. But this was wayy back, like in the 1920s. If you UK sparks did it "normally" (like the rest of the world does it) you'd have them connected in series, and you'd have a much easier time fault finding.

In the words of David Savery; "that is a cluster-f**k"! There are those jobs done by people with some knowledge, these tend to be untidy, but fairly safe. Then you get the job shown in this video where there is no knowledge and it's just an utter mess, thrown together with the cheapest materials available! No continuation of the CPC, basic insulation exposed, overloading of circuits etc. The problem I find nowadays is people think electrical work is easy and want it all doing for fifty quid and a pat on the back! Jog on. Pay a proper price and get a proper job done by a proper spark, we do exist! Never let the builder do it!

Kitchen is a complete mess. If you're going for the whole works , skim the ceiling/ walls , do any plaster board work, block sand the walls flat , clean up everything and paint the kitchen. Also fit any new architrave ect. Do all this before any fitting up. This gives a good base and if careful there's no painting around units afterwards. This kitchen has rough walls, woodwork, paint all over the window frames, no window sill ect and the builder has just slung the kitchen in over a complete mess. Outside there's crap everywhere with no sign of cleaning up as you go. As for the electrics Stevie Wonder could have done better. Imo that house is ruined with the standard of work done and the builder shouldn't be paid.

Last time I saw anything quite that bad it was a neighbour whose husband had replaced their Consumer Unit himself just before he left her. Amongst many many faults he'd left was a fabulous (sarcastic!) situation where two different MCB's switched off the Boiler and Central Heating ... one was a 32, one was a 16, both had 1mm cable to them, and both had to be on for the CH and boiler to work. Heaven alone knows how on earth there had not been a fire or someone electrocuted. It was only discovered when the pumped shower mixer would not turn off and it was found that there was no isolator (or fuse) on the shower pump supply and the only way to switch if off was to knock off the mains. Turned out the shower pump was being supplied from a 13a plug into a 'floating' socked under the floorboards on the ring final circuit. Anyway, fab video as always, Happy Birthday for last week Adam and keep up the fab work both of you. 💯💯💯

Oh yeah, ex-husbands... I was once called to a job where a lady thought someone was stealing her power because her bills seemed high and her meter was spinning much faster than her neighbour's (block of flats). The first issue was sorted rather quickly, unplugging her fridge and freezer made the meter stop spinning completely, so nothing untoward. Besides, the neighbour's meter was one doing 75 revolutions of the little disc per kilowatthour while hers did 480. Hardly surprising hers spun faster. The kicker was the CU though. The place was built in the mid-50s, council flats. In Austria, earthing became mandatory in 1959 for all circuits, prior to that it was only required for kitchens. The incoming mains was 2.5 mm2 on a 20-amp cutout, pre-1965 colours, i.e. red earth and grey neutral. The original sparks had just joined the three CPCs together, no earth bar in the original fuse board. When the lovely ex replaced that, he didn't recognise the CPC and simply left all the CPCs of his rewire floating. He also fused all the neutrals and connected the lives to the neutral bar. "Yes, he said we didn't have an earth here!".

If the hob and oven where a cooker then diversity would probably make that 6mm acceptable.

@@stuartarnold9444 a cooker would in theory would trip a 32amp breaker if every ring the grill and oven where to be turned on at the same time. BS7671 311.1 allows for diversity. First 10amps then 30% over 10amps and 5amps if there is a socket for cooking circuits. Obvs you need to calculate V.D. & allow for cable correction factors but if you took the maximum demand of a 4 ring cooker with either duel oven or grill and oven it probs would have max demand of over 50amps but applying diversity would bring it well within 30amp. What difference in a separate hob and oven over a combined hob & oven?

I've heard this from UK sparks on youtube several times, this thing about a neutral having been from another circuit on another RCD, thereby causing the right RCD to be bypassed and the circuit to be backfed via the neutral, several times. It's so odd to me that this is ever done. I mean, if you pinch a neutral from a nearby circuit, why not take ground and live from the same circuit? Is it common that houses are wired with unsheated wires, so that it's quite easy when you don't have instruments to measure with to mistake one for another, and end up with backfed circuits? Here in Sweden, whether you're doing wiring in walls or extending a circuit on the outside of walls, the only place where you're allowed to have single-insulated wires is inside connection spaces, i.e. in boxes or inside light fixtures. There's virtually no chance that even a terminally unqualified person could cause this sort of issue here. What's more, it's very rare to have more than a couple of RCD's here. Beyond the first that serves all sockets, lights, hob and what have you, you only ever install additional ones for very specific circuits, i.e. heater and fridge/freezer. It's very restricted how an installation is supposed to be segmented. Having half a house on one RCD and the other half on another is never done, even if the installation in question is huge.

No full apprenticeships now show even in new houses. 16/17/18th edition regulations simply ignored and superseded by Tic Toc amateurs and people short cutting for their 2 mins of social media glory. Shocks and fires simply kill. There’s good reason for the electrical regulations. Likewise training and qualification of the same.

The person who made that mess should have to be reported, an inspection done and taken to court to receive a large fine. Needs to be implemented to deter dangerous idiots. Never happen though. Someone needs killed first before anything will be done. Doing kitchen electrical work to day to find the bloody homeowner diying electrical elsewhere 🤦🏻 Wanted to walk away but I’ll just clearly state it on my small works sheet.

You have to put some of the blame on the client!, as they may have other quotes regarding the electrical works ...which might have looks too high in cost by a independent electrician ...then the Builder steps in as he wants all the work ..and with he's Snakes tongue!... tells client, we can do that at a much lower cost within our remit and we will save you lots of money so we can do the Job lot!....... Meanwhile Builder gets he's money and problems with electrics arises..then Said Builder on he's final act.. become the invisible man as you can't get in touch with him when things go wrong and he's already got you money lol

Oh, just come to Poland and work on 1960s...90s wiring, especially improperly maintained. Aluminum or very thin copper wires, rust, loose contacts, burnt insulation, unauthorized connections, switches on neutral, self-repaired fuses (illegal here), no wire color-coding etc. That is the real WTF. Sometimes it's so bad that it makes me want to throw a grenade in and start it all from scratch. By the way it's so mind-boggling to see single phase high current utility, rather than three phase that is all over the place here, increasingly so in domestic settings.
