Holes in ceiling

JDW

The property I’m working on have some holes in the ceiling where wiring comes though straight into plastic trunking (the lights have been moved at some time).

Are holes allowed like this or do they need something over them?

I was going to put a square pattress box over the holes, is this acceptable or even needed?

    From an electrical perspective are the cables protected against damage on the edges,? Note  normal insulated and sheathed cable would normally need no further protection unless the hole edges are sharp. Single cores might need something like flexi conduit.

    If the holes bridge between fire zones ( classic is between flats or 3 story buildings) then the holes need to be fire stopped.

    how big are the holes and what is above - anything that would need protection from a fire below ?

    Mike.
