What do you make of this, would any of you give this a code, it's the intake coming in split between a row of properties, the conductor has been joined but is exposed and has tape on it, I'm thinking to just note it on the cert and not warrant a code?

i would protect yourself and give code 1 as an urgent defect, code 1 is because its exposed and someone could potentially touch it and get shock, i air on side of caution but also power suppliers take little responsibility but get client to contact them immediately while you are there
 
Note it no code but "reported to DNO" with any reference number they give you CYA
 
codes are only recommendations and not regulations and how different people look at safety aspect if unsure contact IEE theyll advise you proper method as different peoples interpretation , but because of possibility of touching live cables i would create an urgent defect report as dangerous and get client to sign it, then if someone is hurt there is no comeback to you
 
As you can see the insulation tape on the tail ends, what would the REC use to improve the connections on this external cut out?

Yeah, they are line taps, just looks a bit exposed to me, would you say this is perfectly safe then just above the front door and there's no improvement that the DNO can make?
 
if it looks exposed to you go with what you think as i said use urgent defect report and get client to sign it and show this to client, at end of day if someone gets injured or killed you could potentially be held liable by their insurance for not reporting fault, its about safety and i think you feel its unsafe cause unfortunately theres a few different opinions on what to do and by doing what im advising means you will not be held liable
