Hi,
I am new to this forum and have tried searching threads for answers but can't find any for my questions. I hope someone can help.
Had work carried out as kitchen fitters would not fit kitchen until electrics had been done. Had quotes and got guy who was NICEIC certified so could self cert Part P (checked on website).
Work done but kitchen fitter's electrician came out and gave list of items unhappy with. I have posted those which are causing me uncertainty and his responses as I know very little about electrics. Is he right?
1.Consumer unit positioned upside down (MK) - response -"not illegal - tight space in position over boiler so best solution without too much work)
2.Main supply should be double insulated brown and blue not old red and black - response - "old are OK. Have put warning sign to state 2 systems used. I did not ask him for a rewire of house"
3. No RCD for kitchen - response - "TNT earthing used in area ???? Not compatible??" When questioned further - " No required unless plugging in externally"
He is coming back in a couple of days and I want to have the right info so I know if he is telling truth.
Thanks in advance
