I carried out an EICR on what was a new build in 2018. The wiring was carried out by a company based in Staverton that also do, or certainly used to run training courses as i did my 2391 there a few years ago.
They have run about 16 meters of meters tails through the structure of the building so presumably covered in insulation, straight from the supply company main switch covered by the main 100amp fuse. The consumer unit is mounted higher than part M stipulates ( not overly but i doubt i would get away with it ) and the tails look like they come down to it tacked behind the plasterboard dab with no rcd protection.
The bathroom and en-suite extractors, neither of which have windows ( not that that makes a difference ) do not have overrun timers so do not comply with building regs.
The ring earth cores are both sleeved together in 3mm sleeving in the same terminal in every socket, i know not a non compliance but a pain in the backside.
The gas bond clamp was flapping around.
No wonder the state of the wiring in new builds is p-ss poor if the companies that train electricians put out work like this. I presume the whole estate i was on today was done the same.
