1. The cable should have been provided with some mechanical
protection,
it is against regulations to install the bare PVC in a wall without
this.

Unless it's more than 50mm deep?

Well, the cable appears to be 10mm, and less than 20mm deep into the
wall.

Which means it requires mechanical protection.

2.5mm should be the cross sectional area of one of the copper cores, not
the overall width of the grey plastic.

I also wonder about qualification of the installer under Part P?

Except in a kitchen...

True, forgot about that bit!
