I`d also like to see the perpetrator shot reported and prosecuted for that.

It`ll never happen, but I`d like to see it.........

 

[Nicky Tesla]

was he part p registered though?

 

[kerching]

was he part p registered though?

don't know about 'Registered', but I think he should be 'Certified'

The proposed tenants 'Mate' did it!

What you have to ask yourselves [well At least I asked myself,...] at what stage during his thought process did he think "

can't get an NB breaker [i have loads of them AND HB ones as well] so I have a cunning plan..." and then later on when he had finished, did he take one step back and say to himself " well that went better than I expected"

:coat

 

[betty swollocks]

he could at the very least of used an rcbo!

 

[Manator]

I am sorry but this should be reported, its one of the most obvious reasons why anyone should always use a registered electrician. No electrician would leave any trunking like that and not fixed properly.

Seriously I would submit the photo direct to the ESC, I am sure it will be used for any publicity due in the next year.

(they probably have a copy now as I know this forum reaches parts others can only imagine).

 

[Mr Smith]

as someone who would employ a professional

to provide such a service

mr smith finds it inconceivable

that any sane person

would find such work

acceptable

by any definition of the word

mr smith is horrified to think

that somewhere in the country

this person

continues

to go about their business

of negligent homicide in waiting

surely you professional gentlemen

have some official recourse or body

who can deal with these things?

Unfortunately one problem with the complaints procedure is the fact that the owner (client) has to be the one who makes the complaint, whilst the electrician can report the findings its a bit like how the police handle any case, the victim has to press the charges, if they do not there is very little we can do.

 

[Watchdog]

I am sorry but this should be reported

I can see it could be difficult. The only crime that I can see is failure to notify a new circuit. Who are you going to report? The tenant who did the work (how could you prove it?), the landlord who allowed the work (bet you wouldn't get the remedial).

Mr Smith, this work was done by a tenant, apparently not an electrician.

Landlord let property to a chap seperated from his wife. Basically....tenant wanted a shower. Landlord paid for shower unit. tenant installed it. tenant never actually moved in to property as he got back with his wife. I was asked to 'cast an eye' over it......eye was duly cast.... :coat

I am glad that a decent electrician is working on things and going to make it safe. That is the most important thing as far as I am concerned. A different kettle of fish of this was done by someone calling himself an electrician.

 

[Mr Smith]

mr manator

you will have to forgive me

if i get any part of this incorrect

from my reading of threads

in a moderating capacity

i am of the understanding

that this job would have been

notifiable

and that the owner

or suchlike

is held liable for a five thousand pound fine

if they fail to do so

how can the same person report a tradesman

without leaving them open

to a large fine

mr smith fails to grasp the logical of such a procedure

unless something has been misunderstood

 

[Ali]

I don't think you have misunderstood at all mr smith. The system seems crazy. My boss was sorting our an installation nearly as bad as this one and has the name and adddress of the builder who did the work. My boss is finding it impossible to report him. The local building control has said that the homeowner has to report it and also that it the dodgy work is ovver 6 months old they don't even bother investigating due to budget cuts.

My boss is still trying though, he doesn't want any more families put at risk.

 

[ianmacd]

In that case I would suggest your boss has done everything possible to discharge his/her duty of care. He/She may want to drop LABC a letter explaining that and the duty of care has now passed to them to they will be legally culpable for any damages injuries or death resulting in the builders future work.

 

[Ali]

What a good idea ianmacd. I hadn't thought of that. My boss is trying to get in contact with Tading Standards just in case they care, but I'm not holding my breath.
