Is it actually SWA cable? Might be Tuffsheath or similar. (Have I got that right?)

What’s under the black shroud? I’m thinking just a compression gland and not a brass Swa gland.

No green/yellow sleeving or tape on the black core, and excess copper showing at live terminal.

The round cable in a square hole is a problem as the IP rating is compromised.
I asked for SWA:

That gland isn't even screwed into the box correctly.

It just gets better doesn’t it - I should have done this all myself and then gotten a spark to connect, test and certify it. I’m someone who does things properly and this boils my p*ss.
 
Just out of interest can the main feed for the unit come from behind the unit or does it have to be visible?
