Im sure those ip rated boxes have pre selected holes for fixings to maintain ip integrity but thats probably not a problem as the sealant he used will definitely stop any water ingress wont it lol. And im not going to mention the c.p.c

Yes but as he says, pick a safe point in the back box and its ok.... I don't think he gives one $hit about the IP rating. Note, the lack of gland or grommet in the back, nice big 20mm hole. Note, he installs it directly below a boiler flu, which often drip condensate. Ran out of screws so he used plasterboard screws. No sheath within the accessory. The list goes on, I am convinced this has got to be a joke, it must be.
 
Why raggle out a surface box? No PPE whilst using a club hammer. That has got to be once of the most horrible looking jobs I have ever seen. This guy is not only an embarresment to the trade but a danger to himself and others.
You got that right Brian
