Just thought I would upload the picture to show you all yet another electrical hazard we found at last weeks job in the kitchen. Like I said in my previous blog post, I am so glad we sorted the problems out.
These cables were live! And the cable hanging down directly in the middle of the picture had been cut off at some point and left hanging there live with no connector block or junction box to terminate the live ends.
As you can clearly see it is a blessing that nobody was electrocuted, especially as you can see this is where the customers children play and hang their paintings and drawings, Also before we got there the property had an old fuse wire fuse box and obviously no RCD.
