White cable doesn't signify age, I install miles of white twin, it's called low smoke and fume cable and is a superior cable to grey twin and earth.

How do you know the kitchen fitter didn't damage the insulation moving the fuse board? He shouldn't have been in there in the first place and risked his life meddling with something he doesn't know about, for all we know cables could now be routed outside of the permitted safe zone, causing non compliance through no fault of the electrician.

Being nasty, in a hurry and unorganised despite being unprofessional isn't cause to report him to the nic.

Some of his work doesn't sound great and he Carrys out poor practice but the nic will not care, as long as he pays their bills their happy.

It’s not special cable; it’s old twin and earth with the old core colours.

I was standing right behind the fitter when he was fiddling with the fuse panel. He simply unscrewed it from the wooden blocks it was screwed to and move it 2cm and things went very bright and then dark. He had no tools in the proximity of where the scorch marks were.

How did the nicked cable touch the chassis of the fusebox? Are there no grommets/glands fitted? Can you post a picture? Cheers.

Tut tut. Choc block in the fuse board

Choc block could well be from where he had to cut out the damaged cables and extend them?

Can anybody make out any kind of grommet strip or any form of protection for the tails coming in? I'm tired, my eyes hurt but I cant see any.

*Edit - upon closer inspection I think I see bare, cut metal at the bottom and outer sheath of T&E at the top. Classy
