I'm fitting a fused spur at the moment and I took off the 2-gang socket I was going to spur from and was presented with this behind the socket (photo below)
There is a metal back box screwed to the block wall, with quite a gap between it and the front face of the plaster. The face plate had extra long screws to reach all that way.
Is this ok?
Also, whilst there is an earth connector on the back box, the electrician hasn't used it. Is this ok?
Some other factors:
- 2009 new build
- this isn't a dot and dab wall, this has metal vertical rails, don't know if that affects electrical regs?
Thank you all, these forums are a godsend
