Pic1 - Openreach (UK) engineer went though a main wire from main fuse. Half cut the neutral I believe and split the earth. A partnered 'electrician' they then called came and did this 'fix.'

Pic2 - Noticed bare earth wire, so turned electricity off as I knew this wasnt safe. This is how house fires start, and how they left it.

Pic3 - Another external electrician company had to come and do a temp fix, will have to strip and replace the whole wire at cost of thousands. BT / Openreach silent for 7 days now.

I believe that is a 240v 60amp wire. Would love to hear how dangerous this was. We bought the house like this 2 years ago so its quite old.

This is from an enclosed cabinet in the living room, which contains the main fuse/electricity meter. The 25mm wire he went right through the middle of runs direct from that to feed the fuse board for the entire house. Fuse box is located in the kitchen. So entire wire needs replacing as far as I know.

The first thing his boss asked me when he came round was did he use the wire checker, to which I just said it I only ever saw it on the floor.
