Doh - there I was thinking I was clever for not using discrimination ?It is division of circuits not selectivity
I went in the other building landlords board today. Much better ?. Noticed the fire alarm didn’t have 30mA RCD protection even though the cable isn’t buried less than 50mm in the building fabric, on a 2018 build ?. Shambles of a job from top to bottom, All the sub mains to the flats are 16mm T&E and come down the wall in the dot and dab so I’m convinced there not 50mm in the building fabric either. All fed via MCBs.
They couldn’t even be arsed with grommets

Don't believe grommets are required as long as the cable on entry is solidly fixed in place.I went in the other building landlords board today. Much better ?.

You are right Pete, they wouldn’t be required, but it’s good practice isn’t it, I’d be fuming if someone did work for me and couldn’t be arsed putting a 2p grommet in a box prior to installing.Don't believe grommets are required as long as the cable on entry is solidly fixed in place.
Yes I Agree, I would always it's bad practice, but did or are the cables fixed in place? that's what I was getting at, I would always install a grommet, common sense really isn't it?You are right Pete, they wouldn’t be required, but it’s good practice isn’t it, I’d be fuming if someone did work for me and couldn’t be arsed putting a 2p grommet in a box prior to installing.
Trades on its kneesWas working at a house that was rewired 5 years ago, no grommets fitted. It just shows a lack of care, though that was insignificant compared to the other defects found.
aleways has been in the domestic sector. down on knees, pulling cables under floors, accessing CUs in bottom of cupboards and under stairs. give me industrial any time.Trades on its knees

I think that’s the domestic game all over now. Rough it and run.I did some jobs on a brand new £600,000 house the other week and absolutely no boxes where I took accessories off had grommets and some weren’t even fixed in place properly. No clipping in the loft and No sleeving on switch lines either.
it literally looks like the place was wired with No care.
oh and the consumer unit lid was held on with one screw and had a missing blank leaving a hole in the front.
this gaff was 18 months old.
just Smacks of throw the electrics in and get out quick ...
