Got a spark coming on tuesday to replace my old rewirable fuseboard.
At the moment I have the entire house running off 4 fuses - 3 if you count the fact that the immersion heater isn't used.
There is also a separate 45A rewireable for the shower. This is wired in 6mm t+e with the supply end connected straight from a Henley block (i'm sure this must be fronwed upon). No RCD protection. Anywhere. A 45A rewireable must be reaching the limit for 6mm cable although it is a run of about 10 metres with no insulation involved.
The main bonding to the gas and water is undersized too. Not being an expert in such things i'm guessing it to be 4mm csa.
All lighting is running off one 6A breaker (although it is a small house). At a later date I will be getting the upstairs rewired on a separate breaker as it is wired in singles at the moment all over the place.
Not sure what faults they might find though as I recently opened up the boiler FCU to be confronted with this
I'll add the new CU pics next week.
