Hi everyone. I had you chap around - a qualified electrician - to sort a plug socket in the kitchen. He works for a big electrical company but does his own work out of hours as well. When he finished the job and went to turn the power back on at the he told me that the circuit board was dangerous that I needed to pay for a condition report and that I needed to have some emergency circuit breakers put in there and then that I needed to have the whole circuit board replaced. All this just by looking at it? I've attached a picture. I am in trade myself so I know it is easy to flummox customers with technical speak into doing jobs that they don't really need. Circuit board you see was put in when we had an extension built 10 years ago by a well-known and respected local company. Is he right am I being over cautious yet? We have had no electrical problems at all. And I have a test and installation document from the original installation. My neighbour is a recently retired electrician and he swears blind there is absolutely nothing wrong with i
