Just how would anyone know just who had done that work - unless the owner
held his hands up?

I've seen plenty pro sparks leave things in a dangerous condition. Usually
poorly tightened connections.

It's not rocket science adding a socket, following the advice on here.
Something like 80% building work and 20% electrics.
