The long tails are a bit worrying.

Being a bit of a devil's advocate ...

The height of the CU is merely a recommendation in the AD. The Regulations themselves state: 

"M4(1). Reasonable provision must be made for people to—

(a) gain access to; and

(b) use, the dwelling and its facilities".

If the CU is too low, it is not easy to use. Depending upon the room, it needs to be high enough to be out of harm's way. Reach is not the issue - it is being able to read the labels. All but the shortest adults ought to be able to manage 1.8 m.

Selection of appropriate extractors is not the job of the sparks. In any event, run-on ventilators are not mandatory. As ever the Building Regs are very broad-brush.

F1.—(1) There shall be adequate means of ventilation provided for people in the building.

Enclosing the ring cpcs in the same sheath is a bit old-fashioned, but were they twisted round and round and round?

Is the gas supply really an extraneous CP in a 4 - 5 year old building, so the issue is not flapping about, but the need for one in the first place.

Thank you for the reply Chris.  I know i got a bit nit picky after being there for about 30 seconds, i opened the gas box before i entered the property and found the clamp ( why bother fitting it if you're not going to do it properly)  then opened the electric box and found the suppliers isolator with the consumer unit in the centre of the house. I didn't mention the extractors in the report as it wasn't anything to do with electrical safety and i agree about the CU height.  It just winds me up a bit as a sole trader who tries to do everything correctly with a decent eye for attention to detail then come across places like this where its just been chucked in and nobody cares.

Gary, I applaud your meticulous approach. Tomorrow, the decorators finish our entrance hall and stairs. Their attention to detail is splendid, but that is why we have done business with the same decorator a number of times. I dare say that we could have had the work done for half the price in half the time, but that would have been half as much wasted. A substantial amount of their work was rectifying poor previous work.
