Guest audi-evo Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 A carpet fitter has cut an alarm cable which was surface mounted on a skirting board. Who is to blame for this, the carpet fitter or the alarm engineer?
CompostCORNER Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 If the alarm engineer cut the cable, he would be to blame for cutting it. It's simple really. Obviously the carpet fitter cut the cable. It's his fault. Similar scenario different perspective. If you was to lend your friend your car, and whilst driving it, he mounted the curb and hit a lamp post, would the council be to blame for the crash by installing the lamp post there? Tony
Smart Electrics Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I do have to agree with compostcorner. He should of checked before hand!!
norman Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 carpet fitters dont u love em! Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
gooner31 Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 how did he not see the cable if it was surface mounted on a skirting board. he must be a sweeney todd carpet fitter with his stanley knife not to see it pete pete .................

Guest Guest Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Carpet Fitters responsible! get him to lift the carpet and get the alarm engineer to replace the cable under the floor under the floor.
TSS Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 we have a tame carpet fitter, when he goes to quote he asks the customer who the alarm co is, if its one of ours we go round with him, drink the customers tea, eat his chocy biscuits and chat, whilst he pays us!!! Still its better than it coming in at 17.30 when the customer gets home!! Paul I Salute You!!!! James TSS Communication is "A question asked, and an Opinion given."

Guest Gimmick Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 The end user is to blame . . . for skimping on costs and getting in an installer that couldn't be bothered hiding the cables . . . LOL !! Only joking, of course the carpet fitter is to blame. Gimmick.
Deltaseven Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I disagree completely. I think the fault lies squarely on the house builder for putting the skirting board there in the first place. Or hold on - perhaps the fault lies with the guy who cut down the tree which got turned into the skirting board. Hmm a tough one...
