They've only put one sounder circuit in. Rough doesn't begin to describe it.
They are both on switch spurs, bit of flex as mains for the fire alarm.
The switched spurs were me, but, to be fair it's what the drawing specified.

The cable routing is abysmal, as you can imagine. Pointed out to the client that they still fall under BS7671 and should be installed accordingly.
 
IP rating on one of the metal sockets….
Knock-out has been knocked in.

And will having sockets above other sockets so close like that mean appliance flexes will get in each other’s way?
Site sockets, they're supposed to be coming out, maybe, can't make my mind up.

Oh, and yes one sounder.

But we'll spotted, keep meaning to throw a blank in, and they've been fully loaded for months with chargers and trannies.

Minimum requirement is two sounder circuits.
 
Turned up on site after a week away, to allow other trades to catch up, and the alarm/data monkies had been in.

Needles to say I was a little apoplectic, put my phone away, went for a coffee and then put it as right as I could.

There is an entirely new circle of hell waiting for these cretins.

My favourite, that now makes me chuckle, is the cut up grommets in the top of the fire alarm panel, plastic, but don't bother with the holes in the galv trunking, mind boggling.

Looks about right for alarm installers.
 
Some awesome work on another job I’ve been asked to give a second opinion on. Partial rewire done, plasterers refusing to do the making good. Sparky saying it was fine when he left it.

These first two aren’t that bad just need packing out a bit.

Is that swa 16 mm ?

How far away is the CU ?
SWA is 25mm according to the sheath.

CU is around 6m away hence it needs a Switched fused isolator.
Firstly how is the plaster supposed to make good when it has been second fixed.
The meter box has been discused before and as it needs a tool to be accessed we can't coment.
But stil RAF

You can comment as that’s not how a SWA cable is supposed to be terminated and the cable is approx 6m (I’m being generous too, it could be further) from the CU.

So as I’ve said to mainline it should have a fused isolator.
