L O MATE.. On this side of the pond we don't bury splices, it's just wrong. We do have some approved splice kits , but they are absolute crap...You buggered it up, you fix it correctly.

Another fantastic tutorial, all your videos are top notch but I think these "when things go wrong" videos can be a god send when you get into trouble.

Ct1 the box in. No messing about with drilling...great video
-
Brilliant for helping me understand what is involved x
-
this is amazing stuff to learn! Thank you!
-
Excellent video! Ideally I'll never drill through the cabling but at least I'll know how to fix it now
-
I subbed this channel for the loft lighting vid, but have stayed because the rest of the content is also top notch. 👍👍👍

Neatly done. I've been in the embarrassing situation of drilling through a cooker cable (in the 1980s). I thought that I was nowhere near it, but it had been installed diagonally down the wall! Lesson learned- always assume that there IS a cable and use a detector first. Luckily I was able to pull the cable out and replace it with new. (We had just moved into that particular house and also found that the metal spotlight fitting in the kitchen had its body connected to the live supply. I am now quite paranoid about other people's installations) Since we moved into our new home 3 years ago, I have come across quite a few bits of poor installation and am still finding obscure cables in walls that I have yet to identify, but at least I am not drilling into them.

Another superbly helpful video.. how can one person have so many useful tips to share.. my one go-to now if I need help with any DIY problem..

Good stuff. Well explained.
-
Another great video , THANKS 🥰

I did this a few years back when hanging a picture. Golden rule of never drilling when there is a socket below but stupidly I forgot it was there. Have had a 'temporary' repair with sealed in terminal block but after seeing your film I'm going to dig it out and do it properly.

Great video, really will help amateur DIY people, like me. 👍
-
Great video !! thanks
-
I too have done this. While it was hassle lifting floorboards, I was much happier just running a replacement cable - so much less making good to do.
-
A good video as a retired sparks I would say although you isolated the MCB thereby removing the positive phase there is a chance that when you cut the cable the RCD trips out that is because the CPC and Neutral are being shorted and the RCD is designed to react to an imbalance between the conductors. The neutral is also considered a current carrying conductor
