Twin&earth and SWA installed loose on floor

[Pete999]

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

I agree it's unlikely they have one, but the contractor should produce one, insist on it, if it was me I would see a solicitor for advice, wish I had taken the company in my case to task.

The primary contractor (presumably Magnet) should have got the electrician and plumber in to do their first fix before they put the cabinets in. The electrician was probably on a tight schedule (maybe a day or two) to get everything done on budget and wouldn't have been able to chase the walls with the cabinets in the way.

If you want the cables chased into the walls they'll have to rip the kitchen out and start again, but this time do it in the right order. Someone will have to pay for that.

OP, any change of some pic where the SWA enters the CU & isolator.
Are there circuits for the kitchen new or modifications to existing circuits?

Don't see why the cables have to be chased in, its what the service void is for.

Homeowner didn't get any pics of the ends of the SWA to bring to Sunday lunch at our mum's house... He will send some pictures through this evening

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

Looks like @Pete999 is correct and the home owner should get an Electrical Installation Certificate for the work done.

I have noticed the “rise” of the notified work with no certificates passed to the home owner ......... The BBB clearly states that the EIC or MWC should be passed to the owner ...
