Ah it makes sense now (I'm guessing Victorian conversion?!) You also need to get an Electrician involved, to ensure your electricity supply will be able to feed a large load like this. You almost certainly won't be able to use the shower and have the boiler on at the same time (the boiler...

I would not go for an Electric system. Cant see how the freeholder can insist on using their guys, as I thought only the gas company could fit a gas meter a pipework.

Can you show us a picture of the whole fuse box? If its come out the box im thinking of then its well out dated and has fuses in the neutrals.

Ive seen this before in a maisonette, there was a standard cut out in a cupboard downstairs, with a steel conduit buried in the wall vertically feeding a metal cupboard (mantel) with a BS1361 fuse and carrier, meter and CU in.

I have no idea why these people load their cars up like this. I have a Transit and still get everything delivered, most merchants will deliver same/next day free of charge, and usually cheaper than B and Q and Wickes. And you can order over the phone.

Worn wires? Did the electrician wear them to the pub?

Youve been had. You also let them start work without giving you a price, so I'm doubtful theres any comeback. (I think ive found the first Electrician that earns the same as a plumber :lol: :lol: )

It appears some people on here have never tried coring through red brick, or engineering brick. I'd allow 2 hours minimum just for drilling the hole. In reality what you are asking for is probably nigh on a days work. Ballpark probably £500, inc materials.

As the others have said (and I should have too), be on the lookout for fakes! I saw 10x Merlin Gerin RCBOs on there the other week for £180, shipped direct from China, one to avoid I think!!

Try ebay or 'thefusecompany.co.uk'. Personally I'd just put whatever I had to hand in there, doubt the assessor would say anything.

Im an electrician, just thought I'd add that because you cant take the front of the socket off its now made the wiring unsatisfactory too. Oh and he cant wire a plug. Or plumb by the looks of it.

I am an Electrician. I did a full apprenticship etc, but towards the end of my apprenticeship I did whats called an NVQ3. It basically was a portfolio, made up of information and pictures of jobs I had carried out. I had a few site visits from the lecturer, to check health and safety etc...

TBH I recently laid an SWA on the ground (in an industrial environment) and I cable tied the yellow warning tape to it. Not perfect but then nothing is.

Yes I'd imagine you will need a new element.

Good point.

I meant C1 due to missing blanks from the metalclad CU.

Pretty sure I can see a C1 in the first picture ;)

search online for shop 4 electrical. I found them a lot cheaper than usual wholesalers for SWA.

Good! Maybe best to crimp then.

So you've left the installation with no earth conductor? You could crimp it.
