Twin&earth and SWA installed loose on floor

[Midwest]

I'm dubious about the rating of the SWA too. It is less than 15mm external diameter (outside the jacket around the armour). Is that likely to be the 6sqmm or 10sqmm conductors required for a cooker supply?

The cable conductor size etc, should be embossed on the sheathing.

Edit; swa has a higher ccc for an equivalent tw&e

debatable. the cables are supported by the floor. they are not where they are liable to sustain mechanical damage. maybe compliant, but not good practice.

edit: did not see the pic before. that is dog rough. get them back. as advised before, some trunking would tidy it up. and running the SWA outside is just a lazy way of not doing it properly.

You need to ask the Kitchen company for an Electrical Installation certificate for the work done, post it on this forum for consultation.

I think he will struggle for one of them, at best he might get a dubious minor works certificate....

run the sockets ring in 2.5 T&E, plus an SWA for the cooker supply, by laying these cables on the floor under the units.

could have put it in trunking,

Your lucky that buzz has at least got some of the main constituent of your username in his post

I would just add, that that pic is obviously where a free standing appliance slides in & out, which during such could result in those cables being damaged. They should be clipped to the wall out of the way, or placed in trunking, as I suggested, then telectrix suggested followed lastly by buzz, who spelt tels name wrong

A bit rough BUT most kitchen companies allow the subcontractors a fixed price to do the work, often not enough, so corners are well and truly cut
