hi
I bought a flat a couple of years ago and recently my son was getting electric shocks on the cooker, metal kettle and sink top if he touched two at once. He thought wrongly that it was static but the shocks became worse. I also got a shock touching two appliances at once.
Got an electrician to check it over and he informed me that 230volts were being conducted between the appliances if touched similtaneously.
He checked the fuse box and discovered that it hadnt been earthed.
We had electrician put in new plug points and do the electrics on a newly installed kitchen.
He clearly had not checked his work as I was told that if he had done so he would have discovered the fact that it wasnt earthed.
My concern is that it was a fatality waiting to happen.
Who is accountable for this.
Thank you.
