This guy spent £1000's on a home cinema/office in an old barn. Had an electrician wire some sockets up.

Whats missing? :evil:

And that T+E tail on the right looks a bit shoddy.

Earthing of backboxes? Because I know everyone who uses this site does this :LOL:

Surge protection, filtering, terrestrial, satellite, cable, network.. What's not missing?
 
I've no reason to think they have been wired wrong in terms of ring / spur, but yes, grommets are missing. It just looks a bit crappy. It would look so much better done in singles with plastic conduit between the boxes.
 
I'd imagine 20mm conduit between the boxes will make plasterboarding awkward.
Also, no regard for safe zones for the supply cable (unless of course the cable is 50mm deep from either side..)
 
I suspect that it is - the Celotex must surely be over 50mm thick, and that timber looks like 89 x 38 CLS.

Interestingly I can't see any fixing for the bottom RH noggin that the back boxes are on, but the top one has just one screw/nail - presumably it's going to rely on the faceplates being clamped tightly to the plasterboard to stop the whole lot rocking back and forth.
