Well it's not like tightening your car wheel nuts. The best I can think off (although I've done it 1000's of times) is, slowly tighten until you feel resistance then give another 1/8 turn. If you can pull the cable out it's obviously too loose. Its not an exact science.

You're more of a spark than the crook you employed. All experienced straightforward electricians always test before changing a cu, this so they can repair faults that would prevent the new cu operating. The ones that don't test before are crooks and should be thrown out of the industry. You...

That could be a problem. In many flats the ceiling is part of the building fire protection system, and therefore it is not permissable to make holes in the ceilings. You should check with your landlord/deeds as to what is permissable. You could end up in serious trouble if you adversly effect...

Yep, that's the way to do it.

That's similar to what i would have done, removing the back box of the old board was a totally stupid thing to do. But we are where we are! I would extend the remaining conduits using https://www.edwardes.co.uk/en/categories/adaptors-knock-on-steel. Your spark could then fit a box/boxes large...

Make absolutely sure power is OFF. Use needle nose pliers

Happy days are here again.

Something like these...

But I have never mentioned #2 sketch, only ficticious #3 sketch You see when you said "I have worked in some big control panels where neutral is not even brought into the enclosure" that meant to me that a tp&n supply was taken to the enclosure, but the neutral was not taken into the enclosure...

And his cryptic nonsense that will one day kill someone.

Makes sense to me, but you said "where neutral is not even brought into the enclosure", what does that mean?

deleted in view of the usual insults, why don't you people go and find a 12 year old to bully, you might succeed in getting them to commit suicide, that would be proud moment for you all.

My mistake, my education was complete, and I was right you described a fictitious circuit that has never existed because it would never work. Because it is not required. So what do they do with it, just leave it hanging around?

If you didn't, demand it now, it is your right, you have paid for it, and without it your property is devalued.

No he won't be an engineer or a qualified electrician, he will be a spare part fitter. It seems you have a dedicated cooker circuit which is not being used, and your cooker is connected "somehow" through a plug and socket. What are the cooker details? and can you post a pic of your consumer...

Oh my education is incomplete, where could I expect to find that arrangement?

Yes, didn't realise you were talking about a ficticious circuit.

what? quite right, well done.

hahaha, once again none of them know what the other is talking about, the waffle has got too deep. And drawing no3 is nonsense, because it is a ficticious circuit that would never be used, any sp load will trip the rcd EDit - Didn't realise the drawing was ficticious

grammar. Thats grammar, not grandma.
