So today we start to rip out the old electrics and show you the hidden dangers hiding under the floors.
As we dive deeper into the electrical installation we discover more and more bad electrical work.
Multiple junction boxes, exposed cables ends and bad installation methods.

In 1970 the election wired my kitchen with a ring and then every drop to a double socket via a JB 😮
While it's good work for you, it certainly is disappointing to see such poor workmanship. I don't think people truly appreciate how dangerous this sort of thing can be. Fires and electrocutions are not for the faint of heart. Cheers, mate.
This happens to me on every kitchen install it seems, always jb's under the floor somewhere! First fix is always fun and games 😀
Maybe because you mentioned Ring Doorbell, before correcting that to Ring security cameras, that's made me think, they''re probably going to be thinking of a Ring doorbell very soon.
OCD freaking me out brand new socket and old colours bit of 2.5mm 😂 really enjoyed the humour 👍🏻
Seems North American "DIY Daves" are worse. In one basement I found a total of 28 JBs, with 4 within a meter of the Panel. All of the JBs were hidden within a finished ceiling except for the 4 near the Panel.
Is that all you do is complain on this channel? Are you getting work ? Yes Are you getting good pay ? YES so why bitch and moan be happy enjoy the job.
Mike get some knee pads or a pad, i didnt and now mine are shot at 59yrs old 🙄
I heard a rumour that those old black heads are potentially becoming conductive in their old age. Bashing it is probably not great either so be careful, if it’s true.
Don't pull out cables that can be used as pull throughs …for new stuff ….
Now I am not by all means a qualified spark like you and many of the other YouTubers who I enjoy watching, but it’s absolutely appalling that some Napit / NICEIC accredited companies have horrific workmanship that could potentially cost someone’s life. Take for example, I had my bathroom refitted 5 years ago and they got an “electrician” in to install the spotlights, pull chord and mirror.
The wiring was absolutely terrible and the connections had been done out of them cheap nasty choc block connectors that were left almost touching the ceiling joists, along with using the existing ceiling rose above the inaccessible false ceiling as a make shift junction box to do the loop, switch and load wiring for the spots. I ended up ripping the whole lot out myself and starting out from scratch, reterminated the spots and replaced all the junctions with wago connectors and box – all as a DIYer and it was a messy job. I know some genuine electricians can be fussy about DIYers doing their own work but I think as long as you follow it closely by the book, have common sense and competency then there isn’t really a problem with that. I am not saying that people should go poking around wiring up their own consumer units and tampering with meter tails as for equipment like that I think you need specialist tools, which only a proper electrician will have!
