Hi Guys,

I have seen this in a loft and wondering if it is legal, the junction box is open of course.

also one cable (1.5mm flex connects to a 3amp labelled FCU to an extension lead).

it seemed the cables weren't able to fit as it was jam packed and someone added some wagos ontop.

Can i keep it like this or would this need to be rectified.

Thanks

The added Wagos aren't necessarily a problem, but the missing cover, unsecured cables and damage to the sides of the enclosure most definitely are.
i took it off as i was wondering whether or not i can add to it. Did not even notice the damage on the left side till you mentioned them thanks! any recommendation on a wago box so i can sort this out? I just like wago they seem easy but they dont seem to have a box that would fit all this.

It looks like you may be able to get all those cables into a Wagobox XL

That will take up to 12 individual lighting cables.
 
The original connector block JB looks like it was quite neat and tidy , but who ever made the later alterations using the wagos made a bit of an untidy mess

If it were my house (like a few others have said) I would re-do the JB in all wagos in a big wago box
