I’ve never seen a rewire this bad!!! No inspecting and testing required. 

Hi Cameron, just updated it and that should work for you now. If you do have any problems using it though, just give us a call or email, mention you've seen us on CJR electrical and we'll sort you out 👍

What if I already made an order last night in a shopping frenzy? Would you still honour the 5%? 🤣

Ring them mate

If you're comparing the quality of your workmanship against this? 😬 that's not really a great standard to compare a bowl of spaghetti too!!

We can all say that today!

This shouldnt be your bench mark 🤣

I've seen professionals do stuff that I as a DIY would never do, for example connecting wires with electrical tape (only that, without any sort of connectors, just the wire twisted and the tape on it), not connecting earths, using undersized cable, not terminating network jacks correctly (ok, you are an electrician, but I don't think that wiring a RJ45 jack without 10cm of untwisted cable behind it is all that difficult...)

Agreed. As a DIYer but soon to be training spark I'm 100% I could do better than this in the video. It's crazy that the guy who installed this is qualified, and I'm not.

@@ratgreen I think the installer claimed he was NIC registered but client found out too late that he wasn't, hence the 3rd party test. I seriously cannot believe that guy was qualified. Geez, it took a lot of persuasion and an interview with the head of department at my local college before he would even let me apply for the 2391 as the pass rate is quite low. Ok that's inspection and testing but there's a general pride to be had in your workmanship - and that guy certainly didn't. Getting a consumer unit neat takes a bit of experience and planning to get everything in the best order, but there's no excuse for the exposed basic insulation above or the absence of a tail gland. If the tails aren't long enough, you change them or have them changed.

Absolutely solid point that tho! As a DIYer myself I know a lot about electrical and I have partially rewired part of my house and also the shed - up to the most recent edition of the wiring regs of course! I tend to use maintenance free wago’s a lot as well and they are fantastic because you don’t have to fanny around with them shitty brittle plastic junction boxes which are completely useless! Of course that is just personal preference to use JB’s over wagos but they have to remain accessible as they are brass screws. I also try my best to do well as I can when I make off switches, sockets etc so if something needs to be altered later on it isn’t a spaghetti mess to untangle and everything can be correctly identified. Ive had a “professional” electrician round to do the spots in the bathroom when it was getting refurbished one time and nothing was wrong with the old original bathroom wiring before the whole room got ripped out but afterwards there was faults on the pull chord and the connections in the loft were almost touching the joists in the ceiling, they were cheap ass choc blocks wrapped in tape and there were hidden horrors in the studwork where the light up mirror was! I ended up having to re wire the bathroom and get it done safely! The spots as well had the conductors insulation sticking out the ends by about an inch and a half!

But in my eyes if you are gonna do electrics or any trade for that matter, you should take a bit of pride in your work and take your time so you know when you leave that everything is going to be all good! Can’t emphasise that point enough but some people don’t give a fuck about what they are doing and are just simply lazy, they just want the money and to bog off home at the end of the day! Shouldn’t even be an electrician in the first place if you have shitty workmanship. Also brushing faults and visible defects on the condition of the wiring under the rug on inspection is a very not-that-arsed attitude if you ask me, this is why properties need a good EICR!!

I went to quote for an outside socket the other day. She had another Electrician in before me and he quoted 90 quid. Straightforward enough install but she was under the impression that was to much and he was “having her eyes out” I told her that was really cheap and asked if she still had his number because I couldn’t do it properly for that. She will have found someone to do it for a “drink” mate down the pub probably. But your right, you absolutely get what you pay for. If this guy portrayed himself as a qualified professional and charged appropriately then its difficult to to tell what sort of job your going to get.

That is absolutely the truth and its not racist to say it as everyone knows they cut corners

They are good asain tradesmans the reason for the poor workmanship of this job is the customer is from Bradford and they don't like paying the professionals they want everything cheap .so what they pay is what they get

😂😂😂😂

Lol.. 😂😉 It's not you Nick... No flexi con! Pmsl

Can’t be he doesn’t know what a screwdriver is anymore.

True is there an EV charger??

Dave Savery couldn't have put a video out on this there'd have been nothing but beeps hiding his obscenities lol.

There was no life in the lad. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That is exactly what happened as far as I can see.

I have never seen that before

Absolutely agree...

He has to be careful due to libel and slander laws, though I do agree. This is disgraceful work.

@@TalesOfWar that’s rubbish. It is only deformation if it’s false and his videos clearly prove it’s true, therefore it can’t be slanderous.

It’s all bollocks, I’ve tried to complain to the niceic before and all they say is you have to give the contractor a chance to rectify any faults, but who wants the badger back in thief house.

Bodger and their

to think in the land of the free including canada most local governments need to sign off on work and be inspected with permits filed. you all in europe seem to be self enforcing with none of you having the ethics to report or reporting agency as efficient as government doing right for the people. yet we still see this kind of work after so called inspection or they didnt bother to get permit lol

But did they pay good money? I remember my uncle, who was an electrician, telling me about a customer way back. Gave him a cheap price but he wanted it cheaper, said he found somebody to do the job for less. The guy he got used thin flex not suitable for heavy loads and there was a fire that started under the floors. I bet he said he paid good money as well.

like chriss says im not going to give names thts how no one dose the right thing and it just continues

I brought a car with a rotten chassis, but with a valid one month old MOT a few years ago, the garage who MOT'd it ended up paying me a significant amount of compensation. Surely an EICR has as much standing as an MOT.

"" Shocking that a third-party would do an EICR, find nothing wrong with that and then put their name to it!"" Was it their name on it, being that bad I suspect the name and credentials will probably be totally fictitious.

With Napit 3rd party work is almost like an inspector standing over your shoulder. The amount of evidence required just isn't worth the hassle of the job. Steer well clear of 3rd party under the competent persons scheme. I've done this 2 times too many.

@@rayc1503 Agree. I tried this with Napit and won't be renewing TPS, FAR too much paperwork all so someone else can do the job.

Cost of hiring solicitor to sue = 25K. Getting another spark to sort the mess= 3K. What would you choose?

Not sure what I’m more shocked by the 25k solicitors fees or the 3k to Rewire.

@@123tinhat123 Id choose neither as you're off your head on both.

@@Cjrelectrical As a property manager in London, I pay roughly between £3k and £4.5k for rewires depending on size of property, plus the cost of decorations afterwards which adds about another £500 to £2k depending on chasing etc. £3k might be at the bottom of the range but still feasible.

For a 1 bed flat yes

A) There's no way of knowing whether cables are actually one piece and in good shape inside the walls and B) trying to make this good would take longer than starting over.

Zahid Younis is his name who wired it, done some research.

Got to love a racist assumption.

​@Maxwell Boyne It is exactly that. You have made an assumption based on zero evidence that it must have been an Eastern European. There is no fact in what you have written because there is no evidence to indicate so, none.

@Maxwell Boyne In *this* case you have zero evidence. Going around and assuming some bad behaviour is attributable to one race of people is dysfunctional and leads to bad outcomes for everyone. I do note, you don't ask any questions of the person who signed this off and enabled it.

Should have opened up another light fitting, stole it from that 😉

@@abcxyz820 😂😂😂

Pretty much , if you wired the house up and a certified spark signed it off as spot on and it was retested and found to be far from it then the first sparky testing will be held accountable

It needs gutting, totally stripping back to the studs and redoing. I'm guessing it's a rental property though ...

The last panel upgrade I was involved with, the guy from NB Power walked up to me assuming I was the on site electrician and handed me a new meter tag and said I could pull the meter on my own then left. The Inspector never showed up, but the permit was signed off as accepted. The Licensed Electrician made a mess out of the main panel including letting the bundle of lives too close to the plate screws and shorted out the microwave circuit. That was after he drilled an extra 3" hole in the side of the new panel because he didn't measure the mount up. If it wasn't for the permitting system and inspections I could have done it myself, but the way it's set up you have to get a licensed electrician over or you have to wait weeks between stages to be "inspected"(extorted). I traced and labeled all the circuits, ensured the panel was ready to be swapped. Replaced all the pony panels down stream, checked all the circuits for code violations, the licensed electrician only had to disconnect the wires, drop the panel, install the new one, reconnect the circuits. Cost me 2 grand and he left a shit show behind. The system is only as good as the people enforcing it, and it's all security theater as far as I'm concerned.

Won’t do any good, had a very similar job customer contacted nic they couldn’t care less. Took no action at all. Customer had to take sparky who did cr** EICR to court and I believe she won. Sparkies pay NIC not customers.

@@karl3721 must admit I am retired know ,they must of changed a lot,then they were a charity and kept good standards ,I believe they are know a plc company,maybe they could take the nic to court as well seeing there logo is on the certificate ,feel sorry for the customer and brands all sparkles with the same brush

Absolutely Right

We only use trades by word of mouth, which has worked out well , we have a full set of trades now we can call on, who also get work from our family, friends & neighbours, we look after the trades and they look after us, sorry chaps & chapesses , but this video is the reason why.

It actually started depressing me seeing how bad it was.. Feel for the owner Unless he did it himself? 😏

Multiples of 25 in the uk. Doesn't always work with led as the drivers frequency isn't always mains frequency referenced. And as the video had multiple bars and not a few, i would guess the latter.

It's called aliasing. To fix it, the camera frequency must be at least twice the frequency of the light flicker. This is called the Nyquist rate.

Bullshit !!! Hahaha does that work ???

Paid a decent price? Maybe people don't do an honest days work anymore Plasterers want 500 a quid to do a standard double room taking a day to do, sparkies charge an arm and a leg, everything is just ridiculously priced

@@deepmystic5850 your talking about people that rip you off. I’m talking about tradesmen that use quality materials and get paid a fair price for what they do. It is a profession at the end of the day that a lot of people forget. You’ve completed missed the point.

@@lewisfenton8657 No you have completely missed my point I'm not talking about rip off merchants I'm talking about the constant inflation rates for these kinds of trades It suits all the of the business bumping their prices but for the normal working class It puts them in an economic situation So of course they have to do what they need to do The work they do and the price they are charge in some of these industries is ridiculous Less than a day's work and someone wants £500 to skim a small double room Lowest price I found was £350 Still too much Its not watch making FFS Like I said No one does an honest days work anymore
