 | Tape wound too loosely and is not watertight. Unused connectors not protected. Rain shield not pulled down at all. Connections were found to be very loose on inspection. |  |
 | Top bend too large and sloppy. Lower bend far too tight. |  |
 | Although putting cable behind pipe is acceptable, it should be pulled taught and tied. I took the downpipe off and clipped the cable behind it. (I wouldn't have expected the installer to do that!) |  |
 | Spacing between clips is borderline (2.5 bricks is better). Should use horizontal mortar seam for clip nails as mortar is consistently more solid. Noticed that spacing in places was 4 bricks, which made it easier to clip every second brick but was usually every 3! |  |
 | I added the sealant due to imminent bad weather. Drilled with hammer drill from inside and blown the brick. (Should stop hammer for last 1/2 inch and drill slowly). Should have protective cover outside and inside. (None fitted at either position) |  |
