And also could have saved them the cost of the mastic, is it a case that installers just can not be bothered about doing a good job,or is it that they have not been trained by any one of a decent standard.to be fare it would have taken no more time to do it correct which baffles me.
 
I believe, routing the cables horizontally or vertically is called good practise. Running them "wild" is a last resort if you cannot avoid it.

There is a good reason why it has to be shielded sufficiently.
 
having core drilled through a cable that was run up from a socket and the horzontally along in lintel then down diagonally where i was putting the boiler, i agree up or down from sockets and switches is good practice
so i pulled it out the wall into a surface box run it horizontal and then down in mini trunking to a second surface box which i used as a socket
i then had the sparks swearing down the phone that i had broken his ring and he wouldnt sign theat circuit off so we sacked him and got another sparks who had a clue

Came across this under an icon yesterday while repairing a leak on the cold main inlet
Gave me a belt and I did a bit of a jig to celebrate
Scary really, it's been like it for 8/10 yrs since its been installed and there were kids in the house
 
It's the stat cable just next to the earth cable on bottom of control box, just been cut, stripped back, twisted together and left bare

I just thought I would show you a system that was "fine with no issues" according to a landlord.

I hate seeing work like this, how can anyone think job well done and leave that,
And even worse looks like one of the two ports has been swapped, wouldn't put my name to that
