Anyone happen to catch cowboy builders on channel 5 last night? Apparently they mentioned part p (progress on the horizon?)
Got an e-mail from a mate (also a spark) telling me about it. Apparantly the builder bodged an outside light and they got a part p spark to come and rip the work apart. However, before the spark turned up the presenter informed us that to do the work the builder should be part p QUALIFIED. (It is not a qualification and just confuses the issue!) headbang
When the spark did get there the first thing he did was make reference to the distance from the spur to the sink, apparantly saying, 'part p regulations clearly state that a switch/socket should be 60cm away from a sink' or words very much to that effect. He also made no mention of main bonding or rcd protection instead just informing the presenter (to massive over reaction) that under fault conditions the sink could become live. When asked what are the repurcussions of this job, he answered, 'possible death'. No details or useful info whatsoever for customers, just more sensationalist drivel. If anyone knows where I can view this I'd really appreciate a link.
