Why did it take 18yrs for us to find this property that didn't have a M.E.N connection, nor did the switchboard have a Main switch, and the safety switch did not function, how come other electricians had carried out new powerpoints, disconnected Air conditioners, and this was quite recently, the issue that arises here is that all of the metallic fixtures, piping, and appliances could quite have easily electrocuted someone if there was a fault to arise, the only saving thing was that as it was in a unit/ housing complex the earthing resistance was quite low on the gas piping, even though not a great way to carry current it would have allowed the circuit protection to trip and possible within recommended time.
