done some ceramic tile work today on a new extension (home) when i removed the sockets there was no grommets and no earth link to the steel back box red to brown cable crimped together black to blue crimped together shoved into the back box all cables coming up from the worktop under the kick board there are cables crimped together lying on the floor with some tape on it all sockets in the house on the same circuit two wired smoke alarms not working no sticker to advise on colour change i could go on does anybody think this should have passed
 
The grommetts should have been used.if there is no damage to the cable its probably not worth the damage to install at this time
Code 4
An earth link to the steel back box is required only if there is no fixed lug for the fixing screws
No code probably
Crimping cables into the back box for extending circuits is standard practise and much better than connector blocks
No code
The crimped cables on the floor should be in an enclosure and away from possible water ingress
Code 2
All sockets on the same circuit
Not a good idea for the 17th but compliant to previous editions
Smoke alarms not working
Further investigation
Code 3
Wiring colours sticker
Should have put one on
code 4


The item concerning the cables on the floor would have me giving it an unsatisfactory
The other items probably would have given satisfactory if they were the only ones
