Did he paint the ceiling as well? - must have used a ****ing mop judging by

used to see that all the time ...that and patress boxes floating in mid
air ..... made a visit for a letter of comfort to a wummins house where
the loft had been altered and they had decided to sell....the gang nail
roof structure had been cut to to form a box and wires etc were hanging
off the walls....I asked the wummin who had done the work and she said a
friend of her husband...I told her she had been ripped off and the roof
was weakened and the electrics were dangerous...and off I went to send
her a letter to help her persue the "builder".....next morning I had her
husband on the phone shouting and bawling that he had done the work and
he had O level woodwork.....he then asked me what qualifications I had
to condemn the alterations....tee hee...fun times

That's fine. Wiring Regs define 'temporary' wiring as likely to be in use for 6 months or less.

And we all know that 'placing behind a bookcase' is an acceptable means of protection against shock in a dwelling.

Not in a bathroom, obviously. The books would get damp.

None, unless it's open to the public.

Non-compliance is hard to establsh as it is always hard to define when
something was fitted and therefore what it should have complied with.
Dangerousness is usually only defineable *after* something bad has
happened.

I don't know, yet. I don't really know why there are so many cables. It
seems to be part of the lighting circuit, but I don't have that many
lights - presumably some are switch cables, but even so there seems to
be too many. It might make sense to replace it with smaller junction
boxes for each light. Or replace it with a bigger junction box that
has enough terminals for everything - I seem to recall someone posting
pictures of a very neat wiring job using DIN rail terminals a few
years back. I don't have time to start fiddling with it at the moment,
and the twisted earths seem reasonably solid, so for the moment I'll
let it be. Next month I'll have a look at it, and post some pictures
if I get chance.

I wouldn't think there's any need to replace it with anything, just
make a better/proper job of it. I can't remember their official name
but those junction boxes with choc blocks in them were legitimate and
compliant with regs at one time - just the bad job that isn't.

Absolutely nothing. It's not their remit, unless it was so utterly
dangerous as to be a danger to the general public - eg he ran bare wires
with 230V around the fence on insulators on the pavement side.

If it really needs so many cables into one box I'd be thinking in terms
of a big blank box and Wago connectors.
