I'd be more worried about that 2 pin Europlug in a shaver adapter. What's on the end of it? Cutting it off and fitting a 13a plug with 3a fuse is cheaper and safer than the adapter.
Can you please post some pictures of the Terrible install? apart from a couple of switches being un level I am struggling to see terrible, a little heath robinson yes, but terrible?Went to do a report on a kitchen install this morning and it was bad from start to finish, badly fitted units, not installed to the plan, badly tiled floor etc
on the electrics the electrician apparently dose not carry a spirit level

but the thing that worries me is the 16 amp oven wired into a 40amp switch straight back to a 32amp mcb won't the oven flex be rated to 16amps there for a fire risk when its on a 32amp mcb under fault?
mike.notonly are the sockets/switches notlevel,but the 3.5mm fixing screws don't have their slots aligned.that is terrible.Can you please post some pictures of the Terrible install? apart from a couple of switches being un level I am struggling to see terrible, a little heath robinson yes, but terrible?
No other pictures I am afraid, but if I tell you that the integrated fridge was fitted in such a way that it could be pulled out on top of you with very little effort, the appliance housing is out of level, the side panel has also been pushed inwards by 5mm meaning the doors can not be level, cornice & plinth cut to short, original sink binned and a smaller sink installed because installed the sink unit to close to the wall, wall units installed with out the fillers so the doors are rubbing against the walls, I could carry on but I think you get the idea, if it was my kitchen I would have it re-installed correctly but the customer has had enough and just wants a solution to the main issues.
