Photo 28 The fusebox on the left on a piece of new plywood is a new fuseboard 1 put in by Manderson Electrical Services Ltd. The top left hand grey box and the 2 grey boxes one on top of the other on the right hand side are the current old fuseboxes installed in 1987. The 2 smaller fuseboxes below the top left hand grey box on the right hand side are separate fuseboxes for the garage and workshop (pigsty storage area) originally installed by me and amended by a qualified electrician who came to check my wiring. It is noted that the new Fuseboard 1 is not connected to the main electrical circuit from the main supply to the house, but is connected to a power cable to a 13 amp socket, which leads to a MCB on one of the 3 old fuseboards. This means that the new lights and power sockets which have been connected to new wiring which goes to the new fuseboard 1 are fed by a 13 amp socket for the cloakroom, hall, dining room, cellar and lounge. |

Photo 151 When you look at photo 151 you will notice 3 cables have been laid over the top of the joist on the left hand side by chiselling a channel in the top of that joist, The bundle of new grey wires has been put through a new hole bored in the same joist. Where the original floorboard of the old step under these new joists were installed perhaps in 1984, there is a missing floorboard. The 2 sets of wire put into the joist and weakening it could both have been put into this missing floorboard hole. Has this weakened the landing so that a heavy person going down the stairs could break this joist? |

Photo 132 B. The new acoustic wall see photo 132 in the dining room sounds hollow and may not be insulated, which we had requested. |
Photo 133 C. There is a wire in the ceiling for a pendant light in the dining room; no evidence that it is encased in codex when it is wiggled see photo 133, so is the rest of the wiring in that ceiling |

Photo 40 Strange - this is the same lath and plaster system as used in the ceiling, but Manderson Electrical Services Ltd had no problem with making lots of holes through it, when they worried about anthrax from the ceiling of the same construction!!! Milk the client? |

Photo 28 J. Is it usually safe to mix single phase wiring with three-phase wiring and connect both to Pre-2004 IEE Wired fuseboard? Unless we look at the conductor colours on each switch, light and power socket fitted, we will not now whether it is the old wiring, new single phase or new three-phase? K. A new double power socket was installed in the back bedroom between the windows and the bedroom cupboard. The old power socket was taken out, the old wires to it cut off and then when the electrical work was completed in that room for the ceiling lights and power sockets, leaving the wall light wires exposed through the newly created insulation? Wall, the insulation wall was plastered, the new rectangular section of plasterboard in the ceiling from one end to the other covering where they had cut out that section to put the new wiring in and the holes where the old power sockets was plastered. The power for the power sockets in Chris’s study went off. I was told by the plasterer that once the plaster had dried then it would be okay within 30 minutes. 4 hours later the electricity to the study was still not on. |

Photo 28 of 1 of the old fuseboxes M. If you look at photo 28, then there is writing under each of the MCB’s to indicate what circuit that fuses. There are no markings on the new fuse board 1. Is that safe so that if N. From the above, we do know if there has been more than 2 re-uses of old wire in the new wiring and looking at the dimmer switches in the lounge, that if the old fuse box is |
