Why were you drilling a hole in the wall in the first place?
Why would you need to know that?
He was drilling in a location where there was no reason to expect any cable to be, just like thousands of people do every day without any problem.

or is there a blanked off socket behind the radiator perhaps?

That's quite enough of that.Sorry, didn't know you were a complete ****. And you expect help when you talk to people like that?
What else are you supposed to do on a Monday afternoon?
The chap has been and gone a while ago. There was little-to-no slack in the cable. On inspection he said that the core was undamaged, and I'd just stripped the insulation from the live.
What he did was to separate the live, crimp that, and leave the earth/neutral unbroken (the insulation was undamaged on those - although I appreciate that the earth is unsheathed). He said that this would provide piece of mind. He's then wrapped the lot in tape.
I've got a niggling feeling that there's something not right about that. I wonder what people's thoughts are.

I've already explained that and my question was perfectly relevant but it was deleted by a mod as was his reply to me but you don't see any red message from the mod to his post.Why would you need to know that?
What else am I supposed to do on a Monday night? Yep, that make no sense either, does it?Not everyone understood what you were getting at, so no reason to call the op a ****.
Crimp it with what ?
I would have just seperated it a little from the other two wires and may be squoosh some hot melt glue on it or paint some epoxy resin on it, then plastered the hole back up - would that be a satisfactory approach ?
you would still have to slit it up one side or cut and rejoin the wire.I assumed a blue butt connector suitable for 27amps.
could have been a glory hole - the live wire would have added an extra surpriseWhy were you drilling a hole in the wall in the first place?
