I uploaded screenshot of the consume unit and the original meter with three tariffs from eicr report conducted in 2022

She seems to be a reliable tenant. However I feel very bad the way she had the meter changed and the messy she left behind

Thanks. Do you think if there is a chance that I can ask the new energy supply to correct it and how can I complain the work done by the 'engineer'

Yes tenant moved out now. Yes tenant complained the heating and a few facilities relating to super deal and night tariff stopped to work a few months later after the meter change The wiring seems been left in a safe condition into the two red boxes as shown in the photo but not to the meter...

Hi Water dripping from the outlet. Could anyone please let me know which part need to be replaced? Thanks

Thank you very much indeed. I guess my friend will find an electrician to update the CU or even rewire if necessary within weeks.

Thanks. I haven't got tool to measure the CSA. It looks the cable of the abandoned circuit is same to the cable for lighting circuit with same size. Does this kind of cable only allow maxium loading up to 238 *5 = 1190W as labelled in the consumer box?

Thanks. I managed to change 'the junction box' to 'consumer unit'.

Thanks. Do you mean there is fuse in the consumer unit for this circuit which could be changed to 10A to allow other powerful applicance if the cable's size is 1.5MM? I don't see any fuse on the consumer unit however. I will measure the cable's size later. I guess the power of my fridge is...

Thanks. There is similar device next to the junction box for the shower circuit. The house was built around 1970s.
