    Upstairs ring circuit

    agree on the PIR to let you know where you stand with it all. it may well be salvageable but not without costs. not sure about the CU upgrade though as you havent given us one single detail on it yet

    Is my consumer unit adequate

    i assume the 32a mcb is the existing shower circuit? CU looks ok but its hard to tell with the cover still on it,if your main bonds are present. are you using a sparks for the work? if not how will you get the cable from a to b ,bonding,notification etc? most of the mainstream...

    downlighters, what would you do?

    no your daisy chain of cables feeding your lights will still have no cpc connected. see the post above yours for the correct way to do it.just replace small jbs with your ashley jobbies.

    Putting larger fuse in CU

    testing is beyond the scope of diy mate sorry.you need very expensive test equipment and the knowledge to interpret the results. i too would be very sceptical,to the point of not even wanting to look at a PIR that was completed in 90 mins

    New Kitchen

    cant see it cant quote it btw. that said,anywhere between a monkey and a grand,more sometimes,depends what defects are found during the PIR which is required upfront,to make sure it will get through the EIC at the end,if you get my drift. if you want full compliance(you do,you really...
