    STROMA? ok!

    INTERESTING that this comes under the ‘CONSUMER’ section!

    The thing is, I have done many inspections', over the years so, WHAT were the faults this sparky missed???? 

    Old PVC cables? Doubtful!

    Poorly installed JB's, perhaps? I'd be interested in knowing what was wrong, with the circuits'?? 

    regards…

    Me too. I would find it very difficult to do a thorough inspection and test in an hour. But for a small two up two down I suppose that most testing could have been done at the consumer unit with a quick visual inspection..

    The sparks is a one man band working from home. He is not VAT registered. Perhaps he did just what the client was prepared to pay for, as he advertises being very keen on prices.

    But if he really did miss some very obvious safety issues then that is just plain wrong.

    We need to be told the details. The news reports are not complete.
