Sorry everyone if I'm not explaining correctly. I do appreciate all your comments He quoted 350 for a Cu change with rcd protection and certified , he didn't do any tests on quoting , he just checked we had earth's. And he said it would make it electrically safe and certified . But on arrival...

Also showed me no buzzing when the main switch was off

Yes neutral and earth, so that's correct from what you say no continuity. No he didn't test the circuits . He just checked from the neutral block to the earth block inside the CU and showed me it buzzing. He says it could be a rouge nail through a cable of something. He knows we don't have the...

He said it would a minefield to sort without a full re wire. He says it's not right but it's not the most dangerous at the moment.

continuity/ buzzing was when the consumer unit was switched on by the main switch between neutral and earth. With the main switch off there wasn't. Is this normal He said there was a neutral to earth after showing me with his meter buzzing between neutral blcok and earth block in CU

Hi All I'm no electrician. Story is we had the money for a rewire and new fuse box, but an electrician came out had a look and said, well you have solid copper wiring no trips etc etc etc. He didn't test anything inside the fusebix on inspection. Everything is earthed etc. So he said it just...

Thanks all. I'll pass the info onto him, he's already said he might he might chamge from using his dad's ethics and move to his unless

Perfect thanks. Do all electricans know , that T is switched and L is perm. I just spoke to him, he says he never knew that, he thought the T would need a perm live . I'm not sure his dad teaches him on site that well

He has sleeved the black at the pull switch with brown , so I gather just swapping them will still be ok sleeve wise lol.

Ah I see thanks. I'll swap it at the fan myself, save him getting a roasting off his dad He's only charging me 20 quid and some beers , it's all his dad's parts etc apart from the fan, so quids in for me , he's even cleaned up and put all the insulation back

Thanks its all food for thought and good ideas, there is a window in the bathroom but the missus won't open it (scared of creepy crawlies) the windows right in the bath/shower area so at angles you would be seen naked lol.

Thanks all. It's just the access from outside is a no go without more expense, I just can't afford that expense at the minute.

Hi all We were in need of a bathroom extractor fitting, My friend or not now lol, said he will come round and drill the hole and fit a vent, then I was getting an electrician round to fit the fan and wiring etc. To cut a long story short he bought a monrose internal fit wall kit, he drilled a...
