whistle Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I go out to a job we took over from a local approved company a couple of years ago. Monitored key holder only response. Anyhow the call came in customer reporting that the carpet fitter was refusing to fit new carpets in the hall due to the alarm cables. When we took over the job we had no idea what was lurking under the hall carpet. Never seen anything this bad before. It's all now been removed and recabled properly.

Simlec Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It must of taken longer to get them all flat & inline than it would to shorten/JB the cable. The mind boggles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lwillis Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I've heard of leaving some spare length before but that's taking the piss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I came across something similar to that. looking for a fault, I followed a cabled to a hole in the floor there was another cable coming up from the same hole going another direction. I assumed that the cable went under the floor and back to the panel. No, five meters of cable went into the hole and came back out again then carried on around the the carpet threshold back to the panel. I spent ages looking for the other end before I decided to pull on the cable. The fault was under the floor a mouse had chewed the cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amps Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 lol why would you do that? I'm thinking that maybe it was left like that because the installer was informed of a possible resiting of the detector in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Done by the customer/carpet fitter/decorator I agree. It does look like that, masking tape isn't a normal alarm fitting tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
