Twin&earth and SWA installed loose on floor

[StigOfTheDump]

Hi All,
The contractor working for Magnet Kitchens at my brother's house has run the sockets ring in 2.5 T&E, plus an SWA for the cooker supply, by laying these cables on the floor under the units.
I'm fairly sure this isn't acceptable - at least these cables should be clipped up against the wall (shouldn't they?).
We had actually expected the cables to be chased into the wall before the units were fitted, but they've done the electricals and plumbing after the fitout...
Any thoughts or comments? Many thanks.

Putting an isolator (and its screw connections) into an inaccessible void is not simply not ok. Oh Dear.

should be OK he can operate thew switch with a magnet

The CU end of the SWA has been glanded - but with a stuffing gland:

Now I've received the pictures, I cannot identify what the 'allegedly SWA' cable really is - can anyone identify it from the image below?

Or perhaps by telekinesis?

To be honest that cable doesn't resemble SWA the picyures aren't that informative, however it looks a bodge job to me

 

[StigOfTheDump]

It doesn't look like SWA to me either. Can anyone identify it?

It could be SWA, the white part being the bedding and I think there is a blurry bit of grey that could be armourings. Looks of a small size to get that bend in the bedding if it is SWA. And it is obviously not terminated properly if so

 

[telectrix]

looks like SWA as Andy says, with the bedding exposed, going to the isolator,and some stripped out inner from isolator to CCU. whatever it is, it's a complete abortion and needs ripping out.

I think he will struggle for one of them, at best he might get a dubious minor works certificate....

Then if that' s all he gets, the kitchen company need to be taken to court for Malpractice.

On the basis that the kitchen company will submit a final invoice just tell them to provide the electrical certificates with the invoice ...... Or it won't be paid

Unfortunately, Magnet insist on 100% payment up-front, so there is no option for my brother to withhold payment pending a adequate resolution, certs etc.

I would suggest he reminds magnet that he is expecting certificates on competition ....

Agree, keep on to the boogers, reckon you would have a better than evens chance of getting legal costs if you prosecuted them.
