Electrician needed to complete job in Thornton Heath, Croydon

[johninlondon1]

I went to look at a job on behalf of a friend today and the work has not been fully completed. The following work is still to be done;

1. Cannot see main protective bonding conductor to gas incoming pipe.

2. One pair of under cabinet lights to be connected (T&E cable cut too short).

3. One single under cabinet light to be connected.

4. Two loose CPC's need connecting in CCU.

5. CPC's in socket(s) to be connected.

6. TV Aeriel junction boxes to be installed and connected to 3 other rooms.

7. testing of full installation.

The owner tells me he had an electrician in to re-wire the flat and has gone on the missing list. I have mentioned about Notifying work and really the previous electrician should have done this and there is no paperwork. So if there is a competent electrician willing to take over the job, can they contact me and I shall furnish with pictures and contact details. The owner is elderly with disabilities and has been messed about and just wants the job finished.

Thanks

Hi

Where is it located?

I will tag along for some work if anyone needs a mate

I hope he hasn't paid all the money.

 

[johninlondon1]

He has paid a lot and I feel for him as he is naive and knows nothing about part p or building reg's or dealing with contractors. I wasn't able to do any of the work as I am still studying and lack the experience to do it for him and have neither insurance, registered scheme member nor testing equipment. He is on kidney dialysis a couple of hours each day and its wrong that he has been left with a dangerous electrical installation.

If his dialysis is carried out in his own home there are people you can report this to who will sort it out for him. Contact the citizens advise to see if they can put you in touch with either the PCT or CQC , Primary care trust, or Care quality commission. The local primary care nurse will also be able to light some fuses to get the ball rolling.

Some of the pictures I took, the CCU has 2 CPC's unconnected, the socket shows the unconnected CPC and neutral. In his spare room he has stacks of boxes for his dialysis equipment. He strikes me as been very independent and probably would not accept help from other services and just wants it sorted. Thanks Manator for your reply and will mention it to him, but I think he just needs an electrician for a day or two to finish off the work and somehow to get it safe and correctly certificated.

WHOOOOAAAAAAAAA!

HHD is a different kettle of fish, trust me I KNOW!

Need more info, SERIOUSLY can help to sort this, did 3 HHD jobs last week got one next week, and probably more that I have yet to find out about.

Who is the PCT, which Hospital is the HHD under?

 

[M107]

I cant see the atachments

 

[johninlondon1]

Unfortunately he has paid but he is too embarassed to tell me how much it all cost.

 

[Sidewinder]

john,

WHAT has he paid, and for what?

Round here the Local NHS trust pays for the HHD installs.

 

[johninlondon1]

He wouldn't tell me what he has paid for all the work done in his flat so far. He told me the tiler took 3 months to tile his bathroom and I have an impression that various trades have taken him for a ride and ripped him off with substandard overpriced work, so would just like to see it sorted out for him if at all possible.

 

[Sidewinder]

Was this before, or after the HHD install, or part of it?

There is NO way I would install an HHD install in this situation.

There needs to be a bit more investigation/info here please.

they may be the same, but, thata a wylex board with crabtree internals, also, its not properly mounted,

now, thats an observation that even a non electrician could make.
