Energy supplier can replace the meter but nothing else. Only UKPN are supposed to make alterations to the incoming supply. 'tenby clip' or more probably BS951 clamps were permitted for metal sheathed cables several decades ago, and now are not. In theory UKPN should provide a new earth...

Any point was lost long ago.

They appear to be more of the same junk as is installed now.

Shoving 'LED tubes' into fittings designed for fluorescent will lead to disappointment.

40W at most. 1.5mm² is a useless cable that has no purpose in any domestic property. Buying it is simply throwing money away for no reason.

No need for double insulated items, you have L,N,E wiring there, and all of those must be connected to something even if you get lights which only need L&N. Don't buy electrical items on ebay. The likes of Screwfix, Toolstation and many other local outlets have plenty to choose from.

The words 'new build' explain everything. Cheap rubbish slung in by the 8th level subcontracted unskilled labour. Tested and inspected by no one.

Definitely. Contact the network operator to repair. Call 105.

Disconnecting has probably shorted one or more wires together. Just removing wires would not result in a problem when calling in.

No and probably not. The metal backing is used to dissipate the heat from the LEDs. Without it they will run at a higher temperature.

Obviously, but they are heated evenly. Gas flames licking about underneath creates hotspots, which distort the base from the first time it's used. Distorted base pans will work on induction, but it's certainly not optimal.

IHDs and their implementation are junk. Best to switch it off and never use it again for anything.

Neff Twistpad - single knob that does all of the cooking zones. Move slightly towards the zone you want to control then rotate to adjust the heat output. https://www.neff-home.com/uk/discover/design-highlights/flexinduction-twistpad-fire The knob is removable for cleaning, it's attached by a...

Not even close. There is no use for 3 phase in dwellings, so if the shop is going to be converted into a flat or whatever then 3 phase is irrelevant. If you are keeping the shop as is for now, then you need 3x new supplies installing, one for each flat and a landlords supply. UKPN installs the...

No one drives EVs until the battery is at 0% and than charges it to 100%. Charging is whatever is required for the next day on top of whatever charge level it already has.

Depends on the actual device used and the water hardness, but for a 2-3 person household it will be in the realms of 100+kg of salt and several thousand litres of water every year.
