I always use grommets but many don’t; on their reasoning that grommets aren’t required if the sheath is in the back box.. Grommets only being for the installation process

Always grommet myself....just cos it looks rough as f@&k without em..

Yes it changed in 2013 but not in Wales.

Quite true,we tend to be a little late to the party when it comes to common sense and getting rid of the trash

Thanks everyone for your replies.

So, to sum up so far. Work in kitchen was a notifiable location according to Part P which was valid from 1 Jan 2005.
Work took place after this in mid/late 2005.

New lights and sockets were introduced (possibly on a new circuit as EICR found 2 circuits present in kitchen). The light are recessed spots in the ceiling and def not fire-rated and are in a plasterboard ceiling. Above are 3 further stories of house.

For the utility room (really a downstairs bathroom) (separated by a door from the kitchen) in 2007 this involved a refurb of replacing a ventilation fan, an electric shower but in a new location/larger size of shower area (although no confirmation that the unit power was actually like-for-like, could have easily been uprated), new ceiling lights added, new sockets added.

EICR findings:

I think I disagree with nearly all of those observations

No planning permission was needed for the work.

Not being an expert myself I'm genuinely intrigued about the observations, and what would make you suggest a different view. Is it a matter of approach with a set of frameworks kind of thing?

All observations should be referenced to their respective departure from the wiring regulations..

Some sockets without switches??
Have the switches fell out?
Or are they unswitched sockets?
