Does this electrical installation look right?

Just had my property rewired and I have yes revived a certificate 2 months later and I’m just wondering if these photos look acceptable?

Define 'right'.

IMO, it's safe, but poor standards of work are a common place in UK - if you don't insist on better quality. However, many, if not most, traders will feel offended if you insist.

Messy, and the cables should be clipped to the joists. The bundle of cables leading down to the consumer unit (fuse box) should be in conduit. Both are fairly simple to fix.

Doesn't look very tidy. That mess in the loft will make it harder to fault find a bad cable as they are all over the place. This looks to be a case of what the customer doesn't see won't hurt them. 
As said above, it is getting to the stage where higher quality work has to be asked for.

Are the cable entries on top of the Consumer unit sealed or could you get a finger in there? The cable should really be trunked up.

looks "okay", but not good. clearly a quick job, quite messy.

easy to fix though, but no electrician has time for this nowadays, you can't find people for large contracts, let alone small jobs.

that loft needs proper insulation, btw.

There is no requirement for insulated and sheathed cables to be in containment. It simply might make it a bit tidier.

It's a bit messy to be honest, and cables should be securely supported. But that's about all that I can say about it from what is visible in the photographs.

EDIT: What's in that backbox to the RHS of the distribution board? Can you give a closeup picture of that?

It's difficult to tell if the top surface of the distribution board meets IP4X/IPXXD as it's not really visible in the photos. Also whether there is adequate protection against abrasion.
