Are the electrics running straight up?

Anything from the detector going downwards???
But on a light switch elsewhere in house there was a signal going up but not down.

You drilled into the middle of a 'safe zone'.
Not a good idea!
You may have been lucky, the wiring to the sockets and the FCU might run up from the floor - use your detector on a nearby socket and see if you can find a signal. That might give you a better idea.
...and try doing some revision on safe zones!
...and light switches do tend to have wires going upwards.... To the lights!

The detector may not detect anything if there is no power actually passing through any wiring that may be there, meaning if the circuit is dead, not in use? then the detector may not "see" any wiring with no power running through any cables that may be present??
As above, depends on what detector you were using and how well it was being used!

He might still have nicked the neutral side of a spur. If so, the way to verify that everything is OK would be to plug in a device, switch it on, take the clock off the wall then grab the screw to check if it is "live"...
...or maybe not
Is this a first? Is this the first time we've actually seen the finished result?
Regarding pipes what clues for these?

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "cordless"
Just isolated then took a peek at this one in my kitchen. The collar is at the bottom . I guess taking a peek could be done on any switch or socket to see if it runs up or down

One problem is that if you leave the clock where it is without confirming where the cables run, and they do run upwards, some other muppet in the future might assume that there is no wiring above the plate, drill the wall, hit a live and cook themselves.
If the CU is on the same floor, see if you can take a look at it to ascertain where the ring main goes (in fact, is this a ring main or a spur?). It is sometimes possible to see the ring main or spur going up, or down
BTW never trust kitchen fitters to do the job right. There are some right cowboys still out there

Is that switch under the clock a fused isolation switch for it?
