Doorbell not working


For the rest of the week we are taking it easy on the electrical contracting front. We are spending a few days concentrating on our website http://www.mylocalelectrician.co.uk/
We decided that if someone rang up and the problem was urgent or they could not wait until next week we would at least come out and take a look and see what we could do.
Well we had a regular customer call up, who is a landlord, a said that one of his properties doorbell was not working and his tenants were complaining constantly. Because he is a regular customer and gives us quite a lot of work throughout the year we decided to go and see if we could sort it out on the quick.
The picture I took is of the door bell!
When we found this we asked our customer if he knew when the last time it worked, he said he didn’t know but the NEW tenants are complaining that it does not work when people ring the bell. I’m sure I do not even have to tell you what my feelings are on this and I tactfully explained to our customer that it obviously has not worked for a long time. As you can see there are quite a few cobwebs there, and the other end of the cable you can see coming from the doorbell was not even connected to the bell push at the front door.
Not too much of a wasted job!
