By the looks of the block-work they may just fall out with a swift left boot.

Odd. As I was on site just before Xmas and Gordon was pumping in 4 pallets of the stuff. I’d defo say it’s not “wet”, as it puffs out at the point where he injects it, and it’s instantly airborne and floating around.

That block-work is shockingly poor. Zero GAF, and there’s no way whatsoever that person should be doing anything for face work. If you don’t care about stuff that’s not on show, to that extent, as the horizontal line looks like a waveform, then there won’t be much more care for the remainder. Shite.

No need to I’m on these projects full time so the last time I had to do this was less than 2 years ago. AKA “hands on”. On walls it’ll stay put, give or take a few handfuls, but if it’s overhead then it’s going to drop out like confetti. Removal is simple with an AVCL, as you just make a 2” incision into the membrane and poke Henry’s pipe in there and keep sucking and swinging the hoover pipe about until you’ve got the worst of it and then open up a section. From there you can go to a dustpan and some bin liners.

Make a ramp, and get the micro digger in there. Or just get a wet saw and remove a 1200mm section of brickwork and accept that as collateral damage aka “it is what it is”. Digging it out by hand is unnecessary, there’s always a solution. A good machine operator will tell you how he’s going to get a machine in there. My guy walked up a vertical 900mm brick wall without so much as a scratch.

His was MBC, so same stuff from PYC iirc.

Goes in bone dry. Comes out with more enthusiasm than you’d ever want. A Henry would remove it in seconds. I’ve had to chop into a few MBC homes retrospectively and it’s a pig of a job, especially ceilings, as the second you cut the AVCL you’re wearing two bin bags worth of it. Not so bad with walls where it’ll stay put, if you’re very careful.

I hope you’ve got the drawbridge working? 🤔😆.

Who is principal contractor? It’s their role to do due diligence and help you reach out for costs, with tenders.

It should enter into a junction box, fixed to the back of the cabinet. From there it can be either trunking or conduit, trunking prob easiest here. Basically you shouldn’t be able to see the brown or blue cables at all as they’re not PVC/PVC.

Needs to be in containment.

…..for his carpentry work.

Having single PVC’s ‘on display’ is a no no. How the feck are they getting away with this if it’s the finished article!?!

Tie their own shoelaces.

I was wondering why the test certificate had pictures of the Mr. Men on it. lol.

It's to de-rate the outgoing supply, so L > SP MCB > final destination. The cable feeding the MCB should be able to take the current of the supply so it's not looking up to par.

We're both going to hell. lol.

What have I told you about drinking during the day?

I've zero idea of what I'm looking at. Is the cable regular twin and earth (T&E), as it appears to me to be so. If it is, then it's a dangerous install. This needs to be in "containment", so as @Mr Punter suggests it needs conduit or trunking. Even if this is temporary it is dogshit on toast, and the bread was out of date.

LOL

This catches so many people out. Needs taking off and replacing regularly. I feel for you, but maybe you could reach out to the courts and ask for some scrotes on community service to be sent round. They won’t break the law ever again after that.

Unsuccessful Somalian pirates most probably

VHT (Very High Temperature) paint is used on exhausts and the such, so start there.

Amen.
