Crikey!! Not a DIYer then!!

Sorry, I meant to say, I'm so sorry your mum had that experience - how awful!! How amazing that you were able to fix it for her quickly though :-)

Thank you :-) I hope he's not my electrician!! Thank you :-) It would probably be an overreaction just because of the junction box but I'd like my electrics checked anyway to make sure all of them are ok (not just to check this chap's work) but this has made me prioritise getting a check up...

I really hope it doesn't come to me having to contact them.

I'm a bit confused. Are you agreeing with Murdochcat that I should have had an electrical installation certificate (EIC) and a part p compliance document? Or are you saying I'd only get one of those depending on which scheme, if any, he's in? Thank you for saying about a link - I'll check if...

Gosh!! That looks a little eccentric but is it ok in terms of the regs?

(I am in England) Perfect!! Thanks so much

Hi there, Thank you for reading this. I had an electrician so some work on my house (same electrician as referenced in my last post). He hasn't given my any paperwork other than an invoice. Please can I check if I should have had any other paperwork? He did the following: Replaced the...

I didn't know that part of the regs at the time - I'm curious about electrics so know a bit but I'm not qualified in any way and I'm very far away from being an expert.

Hi, I'm so sorry - I hadn't realised this conversation had continued. I've attached photos
