He has some making good to do , no unnecessary kinks in the Trunking, my only comcern is that the main cable is coiled up and tightened with cable ties not sure that would be safe with current running through it . Someone will advise.

I feel sorry for tradesmen working for you.

As you say. most (probably all) of us have seen 'bodge jobs'. However, there is a big difference between a 'bodge' which affects safety and/or functionality and 'untidiness' and pragmatism (but satisfactory function and safety) in relation to things which are never going to be visible.I'm surprised in your lifetime you never come across bodge jobs - by those whom actually did know better. In fact I'll wager 9 out of 10 of the community members here have experienced the same.

I'm not so sure that he does, unless it was itemised/specified in the quote.
The OP made the hole through the wall (made it larger, anyway), so that's his job to fill the gaps, inside and out.
And I agree with BAS; that lump of plaster missing where the cable exits has probably been like it for years, so nothing to do with the electrician either.

If you are talking about the 'cooker' circuit, then that is unlikely to be necessary.I did ask him if there were any issues that needed to be addressed before he comes back on Monday - the only thing he's mentioned - is a 20 amp fuse (swap) has to be sourced for the main fuse box (incorrectly installed 30amp fuse for a radial).
Polyfilla, inside; mortar outside - although I read in the other thread silicone has been advised.I'd appreciate any advice on how to make good the gaps.
the wire and they way it comes into the socket - does some action need to be taken over this?
Im a bit confused if the plug socket was already there and you made the hole through the wall larger, which is not an easy task, as well as going to fit the outer vent.
Why pay an electrician to fit the cooker hood, bearing in mind you have had bad past experiences.
Why did you not screw it up yourself and just plug it in.
As for the lead you could cut it shorter and fit a new plug, a lot of cases the plug would be cut off anyway.
I would be more concerned about what looks like a 13 amp plug with possibly a cut of cable and exposed ends on top of the cupboard.
Any oil vapour should be captured by the grease filter, which requires regular replacement (or cleaning for the permanent types).for an appliance where boiling oil vapour is likely extracted
Not good for air flow, but can't see it makes an electrical problem.Upon removal - there was no seal (tape or clip - nothing). The wires were signed (I kid you not).
All your greasy fumes will go through the fan anyway. How would it make a fire more likely?We have a number of tradespeople visit - they told us the fan - the motor were covered in oil - due to the lack of seal. The wires even at their bear ends were covered in oil. And we were lucky that there hadn't been a fire due to the quality of work administered previously.
That would depend on the size of the wire so we will assume he is correct.He also took a look over our main fuse box - and found the entire kitchen (excluding oven) was off a single radial - rather than ring - and is coming back on monday to swap out the 30amp fuse that the radial is connected to for a 20 amp one.
