Yes I'd agree, the removed outer sheath is hidden in the picture by the earth strap label.

PV install on a garage roof and the new build garage has a SWA feeding it! Brilliant, easy to feed into the Grid!!!! Then we looked at the other end..........

SWA fed from a plug top, plugged into an extension, plugged into the hallway socket!!!! Only just had enough space to fit a double pole Iso in that cupboard.

I've fitted dimmers with them in the, they were hager ones iirc.

It has been done with such precision, the labels are neat and readable, the clamp looks tight, the bonding cable cores are continuous and then... they missed the pipes!

Ha, only a bit. You don't have your name for nothing I see.
The original conduit stopped an inch before the box so had to knock out a bit of wall to rewire. If you think that's a mess you should see the rest of the house !

Don't you love it when customers insist on buying all the accessories even down to the LED lamps as they know what they want and know they can get the best deals ? A sparky will just add loads of mark up and rip them off anyway.
