Every single floor installed with wagos without any form of enclosure. Just shoved into the ceiling. First time working in an commercial job site, alarmed at the practices. Not the fault of workmanship but the owner of the electrical company refusing to spend money on key things... even can't be bothered to buy brown sleaving for sw identification. Clearly some of the electricians failing to check connections if connections are tight and then powering sub mains board. This is how fires start.

Unfortunately this is very typical penny pinching , I have done new builds where you would be handed box of Stuff to do a job.
No blue sleeve , no brown sleeve , no grommets , no nothing.
Just told don’t bother with any of that stuff and just chuck it in.
I have very often supplied my own grommets and sleeve just to feel better how I leave the job.
 
That last photo is a looped neutral, not a switchwire without brown sleeving. Or were you showing us a loose connection?

The cpc's should have been connected to the metal backbox. Why waste money on a bit of choc block connector when the box has one already there.

These people are getting million pound contracts... awful practices. Need reporting tbh. I wouldn't want another glenfell incident on my conscience.

Showing loose connection. Board was live and signed off
 
if it is, it's close to death. that box looks like my lungs after 60 years of smokes.
 
I think that is one of the best corrosion damage pics I have seen where everything is still in situ.
 
give it to Fuzz Townshend of car sos. he'll have a new box welded up and sprayed in 10 minutes.
