Carrying out an eicr. Thoughts on these DBs installed in each room. Around 20 have been installed in this manner with no gland on the supply SWA and the top surface of the DB completely removed.
Note the plasterboard hole is small in this image compared to some.
What do you think other than replacing baring in mind the rcbos for this DB can be £100 alone. Paxolin to slide in etc? Time. Shame for the customer who has had this poor installation.

I’ve been installing metal cable ties every third tie on upside down and vertical tray since before I can remember.
Again where in the Regulation does it state metal clips are required in plastic trunking?
It doesn't, however undoubtedly cables within a plastic trunking would not comply without fire resistant support.
