An electrical shop recommended him. If the bonding clamp is incorrectly installed, the earth from bonding connected to the socket is not correct, the 10mm earth cable twisted together between gas, water and another unknown place without correct connectors, fuseboard not tidy etc…I guess for...

From what I saw when he was adding new sockets he extended the ring with new cable but I guess there must be a point where the old cable would go back to the fuseboard. Around 15 new sockets where added so there all new wiring All the original sockets face plates were changed but for some I...

Doubt that would help!

So in this situation, what should I do? Based on what people have said, it seems the bonding may not be installed correctly, the bonding earth should not be connected to a socket, there may be some poor workmanship on the new installed fuseboard, and the test results seem suspicious. As he is a...

I believe all circuits are mixed around: I uploaded the pics for the part 9 on EIC form

Strangely, it’s somehow is linked to the kitchen. Basically this socket is in the kitchen passageway. So when the kitchen rcbo closes then the entire kitchen including this kitchen passage socket doesn’t work. Perhaps a 2 core was used maybe for this socket.

As I need the socket and near the water mains there is another 2.5 wire going for a socket in the kitchen, you reckon he could have got the earth from there?

I received 2 documents…I assumed the second one was a part p - building control one?

The EIC is like 5-6 pages where he wrote what he did with some results. In the description he wrote this: Replace consumer unit, rewired upstairs and downstairs lighting circuits (excluding kitchen and bathroom), extended existing socket circuits and installed new/altered socket outlets...

How is the clamp installed incorrectly…what is the issue? He did the same for the gas pipe near the gas meter

Already paid the electrician who is registered and provided an EIC and I got a p certificate too…it’s not even like I went to some DIY person. Hard to get someone genuine these days.

What are the issues?

Lead pipe

The last 3 rcbos are blank so I believe the blue wires are from those. In terms of the earth tape, is that incorrect?

So the clamp is not connected correctly? Also I have uploaded a picture of the fuseboard - which he changed…not sure if the earth goes in there for the bonding of gas and water.
