ELECTRICIAN - NOT TOO IMPRESSIVE

I'm afraid i'm not overly impressed with the electricians work. I suppose I did expect the wiring to be set into the brickwork especially considering what he charged but apparantly our bricks were 'too hard' for this. Don't these people have the correct tools or do they just try to get away with as little work as possible?
We also have a light switch which switches the inside light and also the outside 'brick' lights set into the conservatory dwarf walls. This was wired wrong and didn't switch the lights correctly.
I have corrected this and I do feel that I could have done this wiring job as well if not better than the qualified electrician, but of course unqualified people aren't allowed to do new installations and you risk invalidating your household insurance if you decide to do this.

Finished on Target


Did we meet our Easter finish target? Well, yes and no. The conservatory is fully useable, however there are a few finishing touches to be made. These will be completed over the next few weeks.

The electrician arrived as arranged and fitted the electrics (more on that later).

ELECTRICIAN DUE TODAY

We're still on schedule for Easter completion. We have an electrician coming today to do the wiring. It appears that the wiring does not come under part P of the building regs, according to the electrician who is part P registered.
All that's then left to do is the floor, fit the window boards and cover the old house outside wall. With it being a 4 day 'weekend' this shoould be a doddle.
