    Cooker connected to unfused connection unit with 6mm twin and earth

    Today I found a free standing cooker connected with T&E cable.

This forward movement extends the cable to full stretch while pushing it back makes it hang in a...

    Twin and Earth riser - buried in the wall.

    Putting a new CU into a flat. The riser is protected by a fused switch (immediately after the meter). The riser is in 16mm T+E i.e non armoured. I can't see it anywhere so it must be within the fabric of the building Is this a non compliance?
