Unshielded internal electrical cables on external wall – safe and certified?

[Richard Burns]

One thing I do notice is that the cable entries have not been sealed and when that snow melts and runs down the cable it will enter the brickwork of the wall and, depending on the run of cable through the wall, track into the fitting inside.

Is this the same electrician you are mentioning on another thread regarding the timer fan?

Not the way to do the job and apart from the arguements over the actual cable, external run, through the cavity etc ..... I think an immediate issue might be that if its not sealed you will get water coming in through the 'hole' and tracking to your electrics!

Think the advice would be hold on there until you see the cert covering the work he has done and proof of his registration of one of the governing bodies (ELECSA, NAPIT etc .... )

Would not the easiest solution be to run this in conduit?

It would have been without a doubt, if works inside could not be avoided. The poster is worried that it is dangerous or non-compliant in some way.
