Upside down henley blocks

[Mr Blobby]

For some reason the sparks brought the main 3-phase cable down from the ceiling, to the bottom of the plant room then back up to the isolator and Henley blocks and then into the two consumer units.

 

This layout is a bit crap.  Bringing the cable in at the bottom wastes loads of space needed for other bits yet to be installed, but what triggers my OCD is that all the henley blocks are upside down.  And one cover is broken because the blocks are too close together for the cover to fit.

 

I know that in theory the henley blocks shouldn't be installed like this but is it worth complaining about and telling the sparks to relocate the mains isolator to feed the henley blocks from the top?

There is no technical reason not to mount them like this.  Just that the writing is the wrong way up.

 

What don't you like?  The writing the wrong way up?  Or the layout of the cables?

I think I read somewhere that they shouldn't be upside down because there is risk of stuff falling into the top, but afaics the top and bottom are the same.  But if they are not directional, then why install them upside down? 

 

They've been installed like this for a few months so I'm not losing any sleep over this, it just is, like do many other things, a bit sub optimal. 😏

 

The layout is generally terrible.  There is a second consumer unit to the top left that will run cables down and to the right. 🤦 

Drives me mental. 

 

Rant over.
