Guys from one pro to another I would like a second opinion on the solution to this. I am trying to get a picture and will post later but it doesn't take much imagining.
A customer called me the other day to have a look ata rented property she owns. As we walked through the house out through the back door I walked into a mound of rubble where the previous single story extension was. The builders had sent in a couple of Polish labourers to knock down the building in readiness for the new one to be built. Unfortunately they had taken drastic action with the electrics.
As I looked back to the main building where the cables came through all I could see was about 15 or so cables chopped with about 18 inches or so sticking out of the wall. They have just ripped everything electric out and just cut the wires.
Within these cables there was 2 6mm cables asumably the cooker and shower cables, at least 2 socket circuits, lighting, boiler and other auxillary circuits.
I have my own opinions but they differ from another electrician. I would welcome your opinions.
What would you do first?
What long term solution would you give.
The CU is at the other end of the house.
