    Why isn't tip of wire under outlet screw (photo attached)?

    I'd also be concerned that the insulation appears to be caught under the terminal - cant be sure at that angle but needs checking to ensure a good connection.

    Hot tub electric shock

    Its got to be the potential difference between natural earth and the pme earth supplied at the income. I think the only way around this is to change the hot tub earthing system to a TT arrangement and make sure the RCD/rcbo is double pole.

    Do I need to upgrade my earth bonding under my sink to pass EICR?

    Is the incoming water pipe metal or pvc, what is the earthing arrangement at the consumers unit, is it pme?

    Conduit install outside

    Never a good idea IMO to use top entries outside where it can be avoided

    NYY Buried Cable - Legit job?

    Even if it were ok at a 300mm depth (and I don't agree it is) how does the cable enter and exit the ground, is this part mechanically protected? Also, did the electrician cover the cable with yellow hep tape?

    Earth Rod install

    Agree with PC1966, DP RCD/rcbo should be the default.

    Safe isolation in the TN-C-S world

    They can be a very useful tool if used sensibly and nor wholly relied on. Edit: Only thing is in the video, he didn't prove/test the unit before applying it.

    Who said a non contact voltage indicator had no use :-)

    Here we go again, 6mm cable x 10kw shower x whack a 40A mcb in.

    I assumed an rcbo was used Snap

    I think you have contradicted yourself there, "almost every TT install"

    Commercial premesis, computers, RCD or not to RCD?

    Non -Standard MK sockets would sort that bit but would still have no RCD protection for buried cables less than 50mm

    Cable tray or basket for Domestic install

    Why not, if there a lot of cable on a run, it doesn't make sense to try and clip them all.

    £4K rewire what do you expect ...

    For the amount of cable shown in the video, tray would have been ideal, admittedly not normally required for residential. Have used it in the past with a large house with many cable runs leading back to the CU. Edit: having said that, it didn't stop wet pants laying his unclipped plastic pipes...

    £4K rewire what do you expect ...

    I get where you are both coming from and you are probably right, but there's always a chance a firefighter may be required to pull down such a ceiling to access a fire - maybe over the top, but the time and cost it takes to install a couple of clips is worthwhile IMO.

    £4K rewire what do you expect ...

    So no fire rated clips at reasonable intervals?
