Non Part P compliant work?

[Secondincometrader]

an electrician has installed a spur fuse(?) as part of a bathroom under floor heating installation. They removed a redundant plug socket just outside the bathroom and re-used it to instal the spur fuse. Several days later I noticed it wasn’t straight so thought I’ll straighten it when I come to paint the wall and need to remove it. Having done that I’ve now noticed that the original metal box is too shallow and I cannot screw the cover back on. The fuse unit would never fit in a box that shallow, I realised they actually filled round the edge, probably because there was a gap. Also there are no rubber grommets on the cut outs where the cables come in. I’m wary of trying to force the cover on in case the wires are cut by the box cut outs and the box becomes live. Does the use of an incorrectly sized box and the lack of rubber grommets mean the work is non compliant? Many thanks in advance.

PartPee is not a qualification , it is not a guarantee of competence , it is not a badge of honour and it is not a assurance of good work.

I still hear jokers in the wholesalers saying they are PartPee qualified.

It has been 14 years and people still don't get it...

He's not saying he's part P qualified as far as I can see. He's asking if some work he has done complies with the relevant regs.

A room containing a bath or shower is classed as a special location & as such needs to be notified to building control under Part P Building Regulations in England | Electrical Safety First - https://www.----------------------------/find-an-electrician/building-regulations/england/ either way, contact the electrician & tell him/her you are not happy.

What accessory is it, how deep is the box?
It may be the box is the correct minimum depth recommended by the accessory manufacturer but the cables are too long and coiled up within the box for the accessory (S/FCU) to go back flush?
