This I found today under the floor of a property we are partially rewiring. If you are an electrician reading my electricians blog then I am sure, like me, you have come across this sort of thing time after time.
If you are not an electrician and have seen this type of wiring in your home then please do find an electrician and get them to take a look at it for you. To find your local electrician please go to : www.mylocalelectrician.co.uk Or to find an NICEIC registered electrician go to: www.findanelectrician.info
These type of connections under floors is just not acceptable anymore and need sorting out! As you can see the earth cables are just twisted together and live and neutrals cables are connected together in a connector block and simply taped up!
This does not conform to the 17th edition wiring regulations nor any regulation previously in ym life as an electrician.
