No I didn't ask for a split way board, I said I need a new consumer unit fitting, can I have a rpice please - despite all the big words I've used I've only learned these AFTERWARDS - I am a complete layman in this feild and to be frank I feel he took advantage of that (and that my wife was 8...

I'd rather not say, in case the guy see's this and calls it slander or whatever - crazy world isn't it! However I am about an hour south of you sparks if your profile is accurate. Thanks again - I'll keep you posted. :wink:

those spare cables still disappear off round the house, but they are not connectted to the power. Dont know why the seal is broken? I had all that changed 1 day before they came round to fit the CU - i got the info off here so contact service provider and job was done. is a steeple board 9...

picture of tails that were left - he said they were from a shower which is no longer needed, and the old cooker run (which also needs replacing)

Thanks for more info!! on the two above points - Picture to follow of work done- I am struggling with the internet - SUPPRISE! :D He did not provide a written quote - so no clause. Oh - i looked up the cost of the consumer unit - incase he starts saying it was expensive. £27.50...

Cheers mate, Great info! He can't do the work himself though - he aint qualified - so i guess I skip straight to step 2. If he pays up, then problem solved. If not, I will report him to NIC(shouldnt use their logo), Trading standards, police,electrical saftey council and take him to...

Thanks - this is exactly what I want to find out - the reason I am nervous about asking DNO people(whatever that stands for) is that they might try and fine me or ask for more money on the bill.... How do I know I am not going to be getting myself into trouble for the previous owners...

ok prolly a better way of me putting it would be... will the electricty board have to fix it, or will a spark be able to? IS fixing bypassed electricty meter (i dont even know if this is the case yet) a nightmare job? I appreiicate the reason for the rule - all i'm after is a little bit...
