Hmm yes I was wondering about the crud too..
Pipes lagged up, flow stickers applied(sort of), earth warning tag done.. but why bother? It’s RAF..
You can’t polish a turd but you can roll it in glitter
 
I remember arguing with a site inspector a few years back, he complained we hadn't put in water bonding in any of the houses. I said there was no point as the incoming pipe was plastic, and the internal plumbing was all plastic, with the exception of about 1' of L shaped copper pipe after the stopcock that was used to stop the plastic pipework flapping about when the stopcock was operated. The rest of the pipework under the sink was plastic to the taps etc. He refused to sign off any of the houses until it was installed. I was not happy at all. In the end we had to install bonding to get the houses passed.
 
It's bad from a plumbing perspective too. It's a 'dead leg' which contributes towards growth of legionella bacteria. Redundant outlets 'should' be fully removed back to the T, and replaced with a straight connector.

A classic example of trying to fix one problem (which wasn't even there) actually introducing another problem.
 
Yes it’s good to see that new build standards are on the up and up..

I mean just look at quality of this installation

Rough as a badgers and that’s being kind
 
If this is indeed a new build...it certainly does nothing for the hope of building properties,in a manner which allows the removal of gas heating,and champions the minimal use of energy...
More likely,Mr,Trump will start to grow his own hair...

We used to call them sheds
 
Just to clarify, this isn't a new build, it's about 10-15 old.

It's one of those odd installs where everything is there, in the right place, the right size and spec, good quality components but looks to have been I stalled by a toddler.

Nothing is level, no cables are supported properly, DB- a Hager- correctly populated but no labelling.

Then spend time and effort with pointless bonding.

...Didn't we used to call that "speed-dating"? ;)
