Picking up from Betty's thread about a sabotaged house.
We were asked to finish off an extension to a protected housing centre. It had been 1st fixed builder wanted us to 2nd fix it. They had got rid of the original sparkies, never found out why or who they were. the work was in two common lounge areas.
We discovered all sorts of naughties like the following.
Earth wires cut within the metal sheathing, slit open the twin/E feeding sockets.
Neutrals cut feeding wall lights,also hidden in the sheathing. Cables cut flush with top of box. Nails hammered into the metal sheathings, in the centre and covered with a smidge of plaster to disguise them.
A twin /E neatly clipped to a roof joist, looks OK, but had been snipped clean through and a cable clip fixed over the cut. The builder said he was taking them to court, photographed it all but don't know if they did.
Anyone had similar ??
