He might not have a crimp for 95mm. All he had to do is hire one for the day and put the cost on top of the job!!!

It is these sort of things that cause problems for the next electrician. Soon as you see that and you tell the customer that you can not touch anything until that is rectified (at an extra cost), the normal reply is "well, it was done by an electrician and it has worked for years". Time to pick up the tools and walk away.

Preaching to the choir I reckon mate - the sort of 'sparks' that do this won't be bothered enough to come on a forum like this I reckon
 
The pic will be here in a few months , when some one finds the bodge the QS of a Niciec reg firm did yesterday. he had to move the 45A cooker switch in a highend newbuild. new backbox 30cm to right of old place ,joined the 10mm twinearth in the old box, cut 2 cores off of cores to fit in yellow crimps and then filled the box with silicon it looked like jellied cables. some one could easily hit the cable as it is now out of zone .

Out of interest, did the old backbox have a blanking plate fitted to to it? Daz

nope it might be covered by the hob wall protector. it was i real mess cant believe the builder agreed to it , it took him half a day , i would of put a holesaw thru the plasterboard ceiling in edge above new switch and as a shorter run pulled same cable up and put it down. i would definately have a bit of mess to sort out than non compliance with cable not in zone no access to joint etc
