Customer has been in the house for 2 months, survey highlighted several electrical issues including the CU in the garage being fed with T&E buried directly in the ground. Part of the sale conditions being that the garage feed was replaced. Garage CU contains 7 MCB's for: RFC for an uncounted number of sockets [>20], lighting, 2 sheds, greenhouse, hot tub and outdoor sockets/lighting. A total of 148A worth of OCD's but not a RCD in sight. I didn't actually check the size of this cable but I believe it to be 6mm², the other end is glanded to a plastic CU but no earth connection to the armour. The cable runs under 4 paving slabs where it appears just enough sand was scraped out of the way for it.
The other issues were solved by removal of offending items and cables.
Will be reported to the 2 scheme providers and CHAS listed on his invoice.
