May I first apologise for this post,you must get a few of them.

I will let the photo speak for its self.
this is a council refurb of a kitchen and that is 30amp. for the cooker.
Wall construction is 8mm mdf.
thats all the waffle for now..
Cheers
Phil...

I think you need to explain as that photo really isn't saying anything.

Apart from the grey outersheath being a little short I too need further explanation if you can.

 

[Phil Howard]

the length of screws and the cable are touching, this is in a kitchen on a stud wall.
the mdf is not fire or moister proof and at 8mm is a touch thin.
zoom in and you will see the cable has been hit with the screw.

Give me a moment please sir

Does the screw penetrate the cable?
how hot does the back of the oven get?

looks like it is just missing but if you say it is touching then get your hand in there and move the cable so it isn't. Regarding the board, you will have to confirm that void space requires a fireproof board and 8mm2 isn't acceptable, I can't confirm that being an Electrician, sorry.

Have you contacted the council about this? Or even had a independent sparks asses it?

no, the oven gets hot at the back.its on now,so a I have checked.
I didn't realise it got that hot..

 

[Phil Howard]

very flimsy and the wall moves when you plug something in and remove a plug.

Phil council work is notorious for being a bit rough, my advise to you is to contact them ask to speak to a supervisor and tell him or her of your concerns.

 

[telectrix]

that's not an electrical problem. it's typical council builders shoddy work.
