Thanks securespark, I assume you all know each other and its a very kind offer and I might just do that its just I am in a critical stage with my work (software developer) and I work from home and need to keep my power for the next 2 weeks to complete it. Maybe i will message him and see...

yes it is a tragedy and I threw away all the ends of the cut off conduit and bushes etc as I was so stressed about what they had done and just wanted to clear up the great big mess they had made on my carpet. I realise now what a big mistake it was. The conduit that has been cut down can be...

Yes I now what you mean its hard to know what is fact these days with so much information and a large proportion being mis-information. I have to triple check everything.

Funny you should mention that because the other day I was watching a PAT video for a training course and they pumped 25A down the earth and demonstrated a weak earth connection melt ;-) it was interesting as I didn't realise they did that but as they said its better to have a problem while...

mwatsonxx and Adam_151 I only just seen your replies, missed them out earlier, thank you they are very helpful. The steel conduit actually has small sections that are unscrewable on the top section so I could remove the cut off sections and replace with the knock ons (which are fab never seen...

by the way the kitchen wiring already existed and has nothing to do with the guy who put in my new Consumer unit. I bought a socket tester and used it to trace out which socket is connected to which circuit and got the following. Have you ever seen a kitchen wired like that before ? Floorplan...

Thanks for the offer but London is a bit far for you I think. I am not a Electrician and don't pretend to be but I know a bit about electricity as I did an Electrical and Electronics Engineering degree a long long time ago although I never really liked all the 3 phase motors stuff as I was...

Thanks guys I appreciate all your replies, it was what I thought but anyway I need to get it sorted so that its safe for my family and for the next person who lives here once I sell my flat in a year or two time. Another clue was when he went to cut the conduit with an angle grinder he placed...

I did say to the guy about at least earthing it so that it is safe and he said if he did the RCB's would be tripping all the time. I said he should have told me that at the start and I wouldn't have proceeded but he said he only tested it after the installation. When I asked about why they don't...

unfortunately I did pay him, just to get rid of him and stop him coming back the next day to put in a bathroom fan.

Very true I have thought about that and think you would need to feed a lot of cable past the end point to check if the insulation was being damaged by pulling the cable through. For the ring main its not to bad to lay new conduit down under the floorboards but my main concern is the lighting...
