Today we finished this weeks job and all went really well. We even got an early day! I just wanted to show you some cables I found under the floor in the extension of the property. The new cable is one I have installed a one of the new legs of the downstairs ring main, the other two are existing.
The old black and red and grey outer cable is the other end of the downstairs ring main. The white pvc cable was a radial going off to one socket. The other end of the old downstairs ring main is now connected to the new cable going back to the consumer unit, this making the new kitchen ring.
I don’t know if you can see clearly enough but the white cable is a 1.5mm! this was connected to the other two old cables by connector blocks! And the earths were just twisted together. I think if I knew who had done this I would poke them in the eye!
There is a family with small children living in this house, I am so glad that we were there to put things right.
And yes, I also rewired the socket that was being feed by the 1.5mm
