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.

The spec is not embossed on the cable jacket where we'd expect to find it

Here's another thread with an NYY-J cable, with pictures of identification etc;

3Ph sub-mains supplied via 5-core NYY, not SWA. OK or not? - https://www.electriciansforums.co.uk/threads/3ph-sub-mains-supplied-via-5-core-nyy-not-swa-ok-or-not.167503/page-2#post-1437585

The job hasn't been signed off or certified yet. Anyway, I'm advising that my brother shouldn't accept this work.
The contractor was going to do the external run in T&E until my brother (a civil engineer by profession) insisted that SWA be used.

Just been looking at this thread again, and have to ask why would your Brother stipulate SWA?

Civil Engineer=groundworker they are used to installing SWA for the electrical contractor so I suppose he knows it by default as outdoor cable.

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.

and i got a "bad spelling" for that by a member who's posted less than 30 times in 8 years. hmmm.

Well you did use a comma before the word ‘and’.
Also there’s supposed to be a space between the comma and ‘and’.

been called some names in the past, but never Teletext. finger hovering over the "dumb" button.

Consider it a badge of honour. They should bring back Teletext.
