    We all get them loft jobs Jordan where when we get up there the job escalates to a whole new level of Agro ...especially when boarded to!!!!!. I don’t know but wouldn’t it have been easier in the long run to have taken a few pictures of them JB’s and shoddily run cables and pinged them over to the customer telling them it would be beneficial to re-wire??. I never feel happy using JB’s on alterations unless it was real last resort. That loft looks a right mess!!.

    Nice video Jordan. Have you seen the bead master stuff from Pete Carter. He does spot light covers along with single and double socket covers. The plasters just plaster straight over them and then you cut the middle part out exposing the hole ready for fitting. Leaves a good clean finish. And no risk of plasters filling your boxes

    That junction says B.I. Callendar’s. Later renamed BICC (British Insulated Callender's Cables). According to Wikipedia the company was formed by merger in 1945, and renamed to BICC in 1975, which makes that box at least 45 years old.

      Artisan Electrics Generally singles in flexible conduit, no ring final circuits, no loop in for lighting, often use relays for two way switching , all double pole breakers, all radials,hence stacked CU's. Been there, dealing with EDF can be problematic, often a case of wine gifted to the local Mayor will help. 😂☘️

    Hmm that was a bit of a cluster fuck. The design of the older junctions though feels superior (excepting safety) than the stuff you now find readily available. That said in the past the mantra was if you shove a finger in a hole in a junction box you deserved to get shocked much like sticking a finger in a saw bench will loose you those fingers.
