I use a Megger one at work, it's magnetic so quite good to use in my line of work. This link might help

That's very true, also worth noting the question was about Wiring.

From a maintenance point of view that boards is horrendous with live bus bars and earth cables exposed. I wouldn't go poking around too much! At least there's an isolator to turn the power off to replace it with something more suitable.

The Electrician that came out, did he say why he couldn't get it working? Is there just one cable feeding the outside light? (BTW Three core and earth is generally used for two way switching} Flameports Site

edit just realised they're both feeds to lights

It might boil!

TTC's right the fuse has been removed so not as bad as I first thought, needs attention just in case someone decides to poke around though.

Post a photo of you Cut out/supply. Sounds like it's a TT and that Earth Rod will need testing if that's the case.

Hager or Schneider for me

That is a Highways DNO cut out and requires urgent rectification and a cover put back on and fixed with a tool, it's very dangerous like that and someone could get electrocuted if they touch that! Especially a child or even and animal

What power rating is the Ceramic Hob?

A photo might help of where the connections are broken/ Yes a multimeter will help for sure. How is the light fed?

Why not run the cable/conduit to an outside joint box butting up to the light then chase out a small piece of cement/mortar so the cable can run that way? Repointing if necessary

Aren't the back boxes Earthed? What are you using to measure the Voltage? Have you had any work completed recently?

Red Blue Yellow was used for two way switching. Definitely needs tidying up and re-terminated into an enclose/junction box of some kind

Two rings seems excessive to me however, there are quite a few appliances.

There are derating factors to take into account when running cable through insulation hence the 1.5mm which should cover it without getting too technical, I don't think there are any cross polymerisation issues with Celotex with PVC cables (unlike polystyrene) but if it's in a small length of...

I tend to opt for conduit and a round conduit box for maintenance Using 1.5mm to Feed lights and channel a small amount the celotex (depending on how thick it is) given it's not that big it's hardly going to compromise the insulation.
