Wanna see some scary stuff

"Contractor!?" Surely no contractor would leave that? I would be more inclined to suggest the landlord had a go himself to save a couple of quid. Even so it's surprising what kind of state some people are prepared to leave an electrical installation in.

It's a wonder they managed to install that bonding without killing them self. Whoever did it must have isolated it beforehand, which must surely have set alarm bells ringing?

This attached picture shows what some contractor at some point has qualified as tails. This cable runs from the front of house where the service head is directly to the rear of the house (some 30 meters of cable run) to supply a 6 way Consumer unit in the kitchen which feeds everything in the house barring the lighting circuit. The contractors isolator had been installed recently (no more than 5 years ago) and this cable had been terminated directly into the output of the isolator.

The tenant of the house, a beautiful young lady, with 2 lovely young children is so very lucky she decided to have a cooker circuit installed and pay for it herself because her landlord refused to do so.View attachment 16069

Another example as to why the electrical certification for rented properties should be mandatory.

But the OP does state this had one done 6 months ago. Mandatory EICR's would render them useless IMHO
