Hi, first post here, I'm not sure where to get advice about this, am looking to get an idea what my next steps should be, if any required.

I moved into a new build last May. Have only just noticed that the mains SWA cable that comes into our cupboard under the stairs has two slices in it that is exposing the steel wire of the swa. Is this something that I should be concerned about?

I've attached two images which shows the slices into the cable. In my mind this is dangerous. It's in a cable that hasn't even reached the main 100A fuse for the house.

So, should I be taking this up with the developer? Or is it ok?

Many thanks.
