At the request of our engineers and customers alike we will be using this space to show some of the many faults found whilst carrying out our day to day work.

 
Loose Connection
This picture does not do the story justice. The copper wire has become so hot it has melted because of a loose connection and has also melted the insulation. In addition to this to the left of the yellow tape you can see that the insulation has been damaged. This is due to the action of the switch it was fitted to, which also meant that as you opened the switch to look at the problem with the wire, two metal prongs were exposed and live presenting a very real danger to the electrician. 
 

 

 

 
 
 
An inside/outside junction box 
This junction box is not suitable for use outside of the home as it is not waterproof. However as you see the domestic customer considered that filling it with childrens modeling clay rendered it waterproof.
