[QUOTE="HomeOwner, post: 316344, member: 22298"] I have to admit you lost me with the technical details. I'm not an electrician. I simply copied and pasted a few lines from several pages of reports. The whole installation is very specialised, it was specifically designed for our building. One example, though, would be a technical earth that was installed and that was not functioning. Another, less specific, example were light switches, dimmers, that made cracking noises and there was a burning smell. Or whole sockets coming out of the walls (we were told the wrong sockets were used throughout the building - sockets for concrete walls not for timber walls). The list goes on and on ... And yes, the installation was deemed dangerous! We called the scheme providers. But all they did was assure us that the electrician who signed the Part P (without working on the installation) would be thrown out of the scheme. But where does that help us with our problem? That neither gives us a proper and safe installation nor does it reimburse us for the costs we've had. [/QUOTE]
