Paid electrician, is this right or normal?

[Steve3186]

I’ve had an electrician rewire my house.
Is it normal for him to leave it like this…


Also, some switched were the wrong way round.

Is this normal to leave it like this for me to sort out or should they at least clean the plaster splashes off?

In the mid/ late '80s my boss mostly bought Volex accessories, they weren't bad really but sockets with terminals low down at the back always seem a faff to dress the cables neatly inside the wall box. After that we used loads of Tenby which I really liked . The worst accessories I can think of are those awful RPP ones from CEF , twin terminals for all conductors with very shallow 'tunnels' and terminal screws made from cheese. ?

RPP = rather poor product

The problem is if we did not have the Chinese producing most of the products we would no have any to use, and even then if they are bad not have anything to moan about, alternatively if they age good we just keep quiet. ?

Deta , Volex , Maribo were all okay and dirt cheap from Screwfix

RPP was CEFs own brand back in the day ?

Indeed they were CEF specials, Redditch Plastic Products.

The Marbo stuff didn't seem bad, the switched/fused spurs seemed identical to Crabtree !

The one thing I do have against Screwfix, toolstation... In fact, most trade places as well - Is that 'almost' all the populated boards still come with type AC RCDs grrr! (although it always makes me smile when a customer purchases an inappropriate board themselves, to save money but with no idea, for me to install and I have to tell them to take it back ?)
