  • Took the sink, cabinets etc out of my kitchen over the last couple of days in preparation for a new fit out. I was surprised to find the cut end of an electric cable directly under the sink cabinet. It also looks blackened like it's been on fire. I reckon it dates from the early 1990s when the records show that a previous owner moved the sink from the scullery to this location. Presumably there was an electric oven here before then.

    I've got an electrician coming in shortly to make it all good and safe, but thought it interesting in any case. I have often wondered if I started poking about under the floors, would I find a cable. I'm guessing /hoping this one isn't connected to anything anymore!

  • I’m not a sparks but both of those cables looked fucked - When I found a cable which was under rated for the cooker it looked like that so could be something similar.
    Also I don’t think the routing of them is particularly safe/clever?
