Twin and earth buried in concrete.

[Robo]

Went to look at a kitchen refit today. Did a bit of investigation work and the kitchen appears to have a twin and earth buried direct into the floor.its rcd protect however in my opinion this is bad practice?

On another note iv got take a new cooker supply to annual and in the middle of the kitchen. I planned to do this in 25mm conduit buried in the floor.?

Another sparky has been on the job and done various alterations to lighting etc and hasn't put this on a rcd or certified the work.

you inspect what you can see.....you test what you cant...

Mortar degrades PVC, so no, it shouldn't be buried directly in concrete. Very poor imo.

It's an approved method in the BGB chaps - 108 rings a bell but I haven't got the book to hand so might be wrong on the number.
