Could have used the existing joist holes.

Yes they could of done , but they didn't !

Could 'have'. Sorry for being pedantic but using 'of' seems to be epidemic now.

Sorry you are off course correct , just me being lazy or just not very academic !

At least they fixed the joint box.

If the notches were already exiting then he/she would have used them as drilling the joists would have weakened them. Was the electrician informed that the ceiling would be boxed in?

Is there RCD protection for the circuit? Is the floor above carpeted/laminate/tiled restricting access to put plates in?

It used to be common practice to notch joists rather than drilling them as electric drills were extremely rare and bit and brace would be very difficult to get in there.

Why the need for a junction box ? Were the cables too short ? Or wiol it become a light point ?

No , the notches were put in at the time of this install , they lifted the boards in the lounge above .

Yes I can do that , but try and open it up ?

Then they should have either fitted plates or drilled them so as the cables could not be damaged by screws or nails.

Why didn't they use the exiting holes?

It seems to work if I click it, and if I right click and select save linked content as. I'm on a PC though, don't have a phone to test it on.
