[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 455225, member: 1607"] Wiring regulation 132.16, which is found on page 20 of the current issue of BS7671 wiring regulations, states that the condition of the incoming supply AND the earthing and bonding to incoming gas or water service pipes must be checked BEFORE undertaking any alterations temporary or permanent on any installation. So if this person is a competent and qualified electrician they will have know this fact and will have taken it into account before starting your work. As such I would tell them to fix it at their expense, as it is their negligence. If the person is a cowboy, not competent and has no knowledge of regulation 132.16, then tell them they have miss sold you the service you thought you were purchasing and take it up via trading standards, or the complaints procedure of any electrical contractor trade body they are a member of such as; NICEIC, NAPIT, STROMA, ELECSA, BSI etc. Doc H.
