[QUOTE="phil whitehouse, post: 73397, member: 5165"] Big problem I often find on some of the inspections I carry out is that where they run everything to the switch in a stud wall they make more space in the fastafix box by stripping the cable sheath outside the box and running the single insulated cables into the box so they can squash connector blocks into the box. I also know of one block of appartments in Birmingham where there is a four gang light switch in every appartment where there is not enough space to terminate the neutrals and cpcs in blocks within the box and so they have either terminated the neutrals in blocks outside of the box and pushed the lot back into the stud wall or smashed the back out of the boxes to make space.... obviously there was two different sparks wiring these appartments but surely this must be happening quite often with the limited space in boxes.
