That is no excuse you either carry out a professional job or you don't.How much did you pay for this service? Quite often this is the result of the customer cutting costs. You get what you pay for.
I could rip all that out and reinstall in a couple of hours. Then it requires a full test so 3 to 5 hours.No, and originally he was going to come back and do some more stuff. I contacted him and he said he will sort certificate etc when he comes back. I don't think I want him back.
I didn't think that the copper wires should be showing like that.
How much will it cost to fix this to you think?

that is about the right sort of price to have the job done properly, not like that. might be worthwhile contacting Trading Standards.This cheapo customer paid £500 for a new consumer unit, 3 new plug sockets and moving two ceiling lights.

Sounds a bit cheap to me, but not ridiculously so.
this is how it should look
brilliant. that's a 3 way splitter, up to 1.5mm but they're working on a 2.5mm version. the other one is a feed in, switch line, and load out for light switching. beauty of them is , no earth sleeving, just strip and push in.Not tried those yet. Recommended?

Can they be taken off and re-used ?

Oh dear. You want to be sending these pics to NAPIT. I dread to think what else he had done.
Good neat board, never fitted a single phase Schneider board but just noticed the neutral is on the left. Have you got a pick without bus bar cover on? Just out of interestLike this.View attachment 49368
Thank you. No pic without the cover but is a weird set-up as the busbars from the bottom of the main switch cross over each other, seems a bizarre thing to do.Good neat board, never fitted a single phase Schneider board but just noticed the neutral is on the left.

Why NAPIT?
i'd send the pics to "Professional Electrician" magazine as well. they're asking for hall of shame pics.
This really is a butchered job how can someone leave it like that I feel an urge to re do it
That would involve me flying or getting a boat if your in Essex! But change the tea to beer and it's a game changerFeel free to pop round. As much tea and biscuits as you want .

I agree generally if I see a messy consumer unit the rest of the installation tends to follow suitI have been know to do this
Imo your consumer unit neatness is the window to your work
If you can’t get a simple consumer unit looking neat then your in the wrong business or simply don’t give a sh%t
