My submains, 4mm ish singles! (with tape). DSDSCF1036 by deadshort posted 26 May 2016 at 9:04 PM

Post a pic of the garage rcd please. You may have a FCU with a fuse fitted and the lights may be wired to the feed side! DS

You can still buy rbo's for the board. You have not actually added any circuits ? You have moved a socket and replaced a damaged one. If you add a circuit or a socket the addition should have RCD protection. DS

It is no different from replacing a socket or ceiling rose. DS

The standard of electrical work on this particular job does not appear to be unsafe judging by the CU install the installer has some skill and standards. DS

Well, if he delivers as promised you can't complain ! DS

Yes to both your questions :) DS

Well, you appear to have no earth connection for a start. DS

If they rewired and fitted a new CU, (fuse box) post a pic please ! DS

What you have here is a fine example of "the house basher" sady, not rare ! I would give them the opportunity to put it right in the first instance, and see what response you get. DS

And buy some earth sleeving of those bare copper earth wires, just to tidy it all up when you've fitted your new switch :) DS

How camp is that !:LOL: DS

Must be a fault with the system? DS ++++++++++++++++++++ edit 19/7/17 Now fixed mod ++++++++++++++++++++

Don't use MK ! Hager, or BG, If on a budget. You don't need 2.5mm for your boiler or alarm The separate circuit for the freezer is a good idea. Install 2 single sockets instead of a double if you have a TD and WM in the same location. If the external socket is fed from ring, add a DP switch...

Electrically its fairly straightforward, there will be a join box in the centre where all the tails to the individual lights connect to a single supply cable. You can use a single 1g 25mm box and a blank plate as your join box. DS

Dont touch it! To be on the safe side call the DNO and ask them to have it checked. DS

If this is not a ring you need to derate the 32A to a 20A MCB. Regards, DS

Disgusted. DS

Don't be sorry about asking, that's the point of this site. :) It is not best practice to have all the sockets on one RCD. To avoid complete loss of power, and makes it easier to find a fault, it is advised that the circuits are protected by two separate RCD's. DS
