Any other ideas?

nah. i can see the screw heads, but who's to say they've got screws attached.

Are so you have also used chewing gum to hold a screw head on when it breaks off on the final turn

I believe chippies use grip fill.
Proper job.

Did you consider reinstating the earth continuity of the conduit or even testing it. Are there any IP rating issues? The customer will normally always go cheap but it's your name on the resulting repair.

Don't think this method would have been for me.

My preferred method would have been.

1 Pull out reinstate through box add a runner on the tube aid reassembly.
2 Install metallic box with suitable connectors.

Using Flanders suggestion this is what I came up with in the end. I just drilled out each end with a hole saw and cut a slot with a hack saw so that the conduit finished flush with the adaptable box lid.

That at best is a temporary repair until you can undertake the task in a professional manner.

Quite right

How would you report this if it you found it on during an EICR???.

I would suggest that it would be on here as a look what I found. What should I code it.

Sorry I have only just read this.

That conduit disappears under a mezzanine floor and contains a ring final circuit and part of a lighting circuit. It would have been a nightmare to pull those conductors out and get them back through. A route the customer didn't want to go down.

I didn't consider earth continuity of the conduit mainly because it's pvc...It also meets the ip rating of ip 2x as they are side entry.

Granted it's not perfect but, I'm struggling To see what other options there were in this situation. That being said I'm more than open to another solution under that circumstance.

think you've done a good job there. an alternative would have been to cut and joint in a new conduit box, but that could create more problems.
