I should also mention that when I bought the house in 1990, the wiring
looked a bit amateurish to start with: the under-floor connections had
all been done with 'chocolate blocks' for example. However, I've never
had a problem with any of it.

This doesn't conform to existing regs - nor IMHO has it ever. Connections
have always been done within some form of enclosure. At least for the last
50 years - and certainly since PVC cable arrived.
