There seems to be a general lack of understanding of how many layers of insulation need to be on cables, and how to attach them to the wall. And various other details.

I presume you're referring to mechanical protection (i.e. sheath)?

Yes the layer of steel wire cable reinforcement.

Yes the layer of steel wire cable reinforcement.

I would have expected an armoured cable run to terminate at a metal / plastic trunking or metal / plastic cabinet through a gland nut set before the cores reach there final destination of connection.

What the actual **** is that? I'm guessing this is a builder that does electrics then?

Its someone who doesn't know what they are doing.

So a builder that does electrics then?

Just wanted to hear electricians thoughts on install. This is another install from the same team.View attachment 50449

No, just no.

Yes indeed, I should have said 'layers of plastic' rather than insulation, as the sheath is not insulation.

The tails from the cutout to the meter look neat

I’m not sure if that was intended to be funny but either way it was lol

Appalling.
I don't know what the fuse is that the T&E going to the meter is, but I hope its a small one!
Also, it is not permitted to have single insulated conductors like those dangling from the T&E sheaths. They must be insulated and sheathed cables (aka "meter tails").

That is Awsome that when are you free to come round mine.

Has someone actually paid money for this he askes as he faints in horror.

Hope nobody ever enters these premises let alone lives there.

Wow, I wish I could make my installations look as neat and professional as that one.
when you find out who did it, you must pass on his number.
I might even give him some earth sleeving as a tip so he can finish tidying up the couple of things he overlooked.
