An EICR carried out by an experienced competent person is without doubt the best way to go. You can never judge by just looking at an installation photos or otherwise. I have seen installs that have looked neat tidy and compliant, and then its turned out to be lethal.
As an example, a 6 year old property, client said getting shock from shower !! RCD not functioning, cpc from isolator to shower was floating, and the element had gone down to earth, plastic pipe to the shower. Said he had a tingle when in the shower and his elbow touched the tiles. His wife said she felt like it was a static shock like when you touch a car bodywork, when she turned the shower off !!
One of the worst real life examples I have encountered, and lets be honest a fatality waiting to happen.
Sorry !! I have gone off topic here but just wanted to point out what can happen and why EICR,s carried out properly are so important.

Yes 100% will be getting someone in to do as soon as possible. I'll post the report as well just so all the guys and gals who have commented can see.

That means the RCD from the main board is giving the protection needed for the conservatory board, thus the outside light is RCD protected.

all is good.

That is good to no thank you!

For me black conduit inside or industrial. White for outside Always unless specified.

The default choice thing doesn't work for me, it's not all just about black and white. Unless your going all arty it's what looks aesthetically right for the install, it is ultimately the customers choice

I have to agree, I tend to look at the property and see what fits, such as PVC facias, guttering, drainpipes etc.

why did he not chase cable up internally and exit through the wall, direct into the outside light?

Easier to come straight out of the back box off a spur, no switch circuit its got a PIR.

 

[Mistynov]

Wall above the counter is fully tiled

Wrong thread I think.
