Thanks so much EFL for all your detailed and helpful replies (as ever! (y));...now that I know how the process/schedule works (or should work) I’ll leave it another week and see what transpires. The electrician is definitely registered on the NICEIC website,...that’s how I located him in the...

Thanks for the replies;...not sure what ‘lots of tests’ means but he told me he’d tested each circuit and all the readings were good. He kept the individual test readings for each circuit in a notebook. I do remember that the tests caused the RCD to trip on numerous occasions. Is that not...

I’ve recently had my old fusebox replaced with a new consumer unit. All the wiring and lighting circuitry is now RCD protected. After the installation was completed the NICEIC registered electrician spent some considerable time testing all the house circuitry with his multifunction installation...

Many thanks for the swift and detailed reply.(y)

...is the answer 42? :unsure:

...is it 12 metres?:cautious:

Switch-over day tomorrow isn't it? :eek:

No, ...he didn’t say anything about the socket being visible above the appliance;...but he was adamant that it had to be somewhere instantly accessible and that a socket on the wall immediately to the rear of the integrated floor-standing appliance wasn’t allowed. I have a ‘free-standing’...

Thanks for the swift reply :);..Sorry for being a bit vague;..by ‘exterior’ I meant not inside the space under the kitchen worktop that is exclusively occupied by said appliance. Hope I’m making sense.
