I would like some advice from those who know about electrics.
We recently had a walk-in shower installed under a local authority grant. Last week we saw this electrical wiring in the loft: -
The cables come out from under the floorboards of a room on the left and go off to the right into a loft space. The boarded walkway was there before the shower work started.
Shouldn't those mains cables be passed through a hole in the joists? The electrical firm accepts the work was not done correctly and has offered to now secure the cables with clips. Is that sufficient to meet the regs?
Would it better to have the cables cut and routed through the joists and then have them joined in a junction box?
The job specification says all work is to be done to the "highest standard in line with the relevant trade legislation".
Thanks for any info.
