A bit off topic, but you really can't get the staff these days can you....

Got a phone call the other day. I’d repaired a cable which I think I posted in this thread a while back. It was next to a gas boiler and had exposed copper.
Anyway they had a plumber out as the boiler needed replacing.
Said plumber told the tenants that the repair was dangerous as it should be in a junction box. So they rang the landlord who then rang me. Spoke to landlord and said I’d go and take a look but can guarantee it wasn’t a dangerous repair.
Photo attached of the repair I did.
Each conductor individually crimped, the cable is double heat shrink covered. And it was clipped back, I just pulled it forward to check it (and get a pic) and clipped it back again.
Can anyone explain what’s dangerous as I’m at a loss?
I did tell the plumber to stick to pipes and leave the magic to me.

As long as he learns and doesn't presume that every in line joint is done to that standard and can recognise so.He's probably assumed it's just been twisted together and taped/sleeved. I suppose it's good to be on the safe side. As long as he listens to you and updates his awareness then all is OK I suppose.
Those screw heads look well-used.View attachment 105503
