    Kitchen Help

    Have a look at page 95 of the regs 522-06-03 / 04 / 05 . Personally I'd run the sockets to match existing. You could notify the Local Building control and do the work yourself and get them to check the work off. Find how much the fee is first and if not too pricey then it will be more...

    Fuse box sparking

    What type of circuit is it ring/radial? What is the conductor size? What type of fuse is it? As there was some kind of fault between the insulation i'd imagine? Or loose connection. Edit just reread "had 30 amp fuse wire in it" so this is a rewireable type Wylex or something?

    problem with work done by an electrician - advise please?

    The "electrician" in question should have made sure the bonding and main earthing was up to scratch with current regs before commencing other work, made sure that any socket that was likely to be used for external equipment should have 30 mA RCD protection and not sure why he couldn't do this...
