Help new kitchen nightmare

[Ner123ak]

Hi
We have just spent quite a lot on having a new kitchen in another part of our house. This was a complete installation including new electrics plumbing etc.
It us now apparently finished and quite frankly the electrics scare me
The power cables are running in and out of the radiator pipes everywhere for a start. When I asked I was told it's ok it's heat protected cable.
Couple of pictures below I have many more from all over.
The hob and oven are just on a 13 amp plug and that don't seem right to me as well. The whole work is quite shocking but I will stick to electricals
Please could someone help me as I don't know what I should do
thnx v much for any advice
k

phew. bad enough putting them on plugs, but to plug both into the same double beggars belief. this so called electrician is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a qualified tradesman. in you place , i'd get a proper spark to sort this mess out, then knock his charges off the 50% that you have retained.in fact, keep it all and boot him off the job. i'd not let that guy back in the house. even if he rectified the work, you'd still need to get it checked, and he probably hasn't got the equipment to test and certify the work anyway. to be blunt, the guy's an absolute ----er.

I would see if any competent members on here would be in your location and just get them to have a check at his work.... I'm concerned that the socket is also part of the ringmain and not a dedicated supply ...this would see you having nuisance tripping when you have other items plug into the same ring that are heavy energy uses like dryers/washers kettles etc... judging by the pics I pass on great concern as to the actual design of the circuits and whether they are even to regulation and/or safe.

His methods from a visual aspect ring alarm bells and to comment further I would need to really be there, sorry that you have found yourself in this situe' and its possible its not as bad as it seems but we can only respond to the impression we get from the photos.

It's not a good situation to be in. By the looks of what you have shown the so called "electrician" is a chancer and I wouldn't be letting him come back to rectify the work. I would get another electrician in as telectrix said to rectify his mess and to also check over the rest of the work he has done and knock the cost off the final bill.

Back to the OP - was this an install by a "big shed" where they subbed the install out?

Careful now.


That's where the hops come from and what do we use hops for??

 

[Geordie Spark]

Oh man could you please explain. I have been starting to worry a bit about that as why would a good tradesman work with a poor one.

But .......... I don't think the "plumber" is that bad. His soldered joints look neat with the solder not running all over the shop like the grease on a half burned candle.

There are 10 unnecessary bends/elbows in the pipework featured in pic2/post 1 & the 2nd set of pics. (assuming they're the same pipes going through that wall)
