Can anyone assist me? I don’t know much about plumbing so got a plumber in to install this for us, however I’m not sure if it looks correct, there are wires going behind hot water pipes, and a lot of the pipes look to long or too short which in turn appears to be causing strain on other parts.
Anyone out there able to help? Is this correct or are there things wrong and if so what?

No couple of items

All the pipes need lagging / insulating
D2 is incorrect Material (the white plastic waste pipe)
Can’t remove immersions for maintenance/ replacement
Also have you had building regs certification ?
 
Looks a rough job.

No 300mm under discharge (Depends if you're including trap which I wouldn't). uPVC pipe is OK if it's mUPVC (High temp) not ABS. Although looking at the job it probably is incorrect.

Horizontal cylinders should have a circulating return too or destrat pump.
