Electrician has left holes in interior brickwork

[Chri5]

Get the guy back, ask him to tidy up, show him a copy of the diagram I posted, suggest group factor is better and also suggest he goes and hires a wet cutter and goes in to the brick where cable bulging might interfere with the plastering line.

I'm sure Chri5 did not mean to omit that there are limits as to how far he can cut into the wall. Can't remember them off hand (it's my age, you know!), but I'm sure someone will post a link.

I couldn't remember 53 yo head

A 6th means something isn't that through the whole wall

522.6.101 does not mention this.

Yes it does.

... Where the cable is connected to a point, accessory or switchgear on any surface of the wall or partiton, the cable may be installed in a zone either horizontally or vertically, to the point, accessory or switchgear ...

Ah, but it does.

[edit] beaten to it! But yes, the clue is in the word connected

 

[Chri5]

EFL thanks for pointing that out. We knew someone would take the bait

Is the house in Chorlton?

No - it would be a few grand more if it was!

 

[GeorgeP]

Wow, thanks for all the input. By jove, I think I've got it now....

 

[DetlefSchmitz]

Securespark, Chill, chill, chill! Come on, take your Ritalin!

You're worthy, you're worthy, get up!

 

[securespark]

Oh, OK, then. As long as you're sure!

Don't take Ritalin but you have reminded me to take some other tablets!

Is the house in Chorlton?

No - it would be a few grand more if it was!

Whalley Range, then?

I reckon I could do with some Valium! Just uploaded a couple more photos including one of where the kitchen units are going to go inc the cooker. Whalley Range - v. funny. No, even cheaper are than that. We have snow here you know....

 

[GeorgeP]

It's got to the point where I think I could spend an hour on youtube looking at funny animal clips for pure escapism. May I add - not due to you guys - but regarding this project!

I can't understand why there are so many wires running from the upstairs, down through the bathroom light switch and then down to the hallway two gang light switch. The meter is in the garage which is next to the downstairs hallway. How he got through from the upstairs I have no idea. Are all you electricians contortionists?

Insulation board on external walls.

Are you OK with the fact that it's very difficult to have cables or pipes behind and then coming through the insulation board, very difficult to have accessory boxes sunk into them etc?

The walls will be cold - even colder than they get now, and the interior of the rooms will be warm. When warm air gets onto the cold walls through holes in the insulation made for back boxes, cables etc it will cause condensation, which will lead to damp, possibly mould with spores which are bad for your health etc.

It's very difficult to get internal wall insulation right, but very easy to get it wrong and to start building up a load of problems.

Just had a quick look in the BGB.

522.6.101 does not mention this. But I am off upstairs to seek my OSG...

Saved me swivelling around on me chair!
