We have recently decided to have a new kitchen and need some new sockets. Work started on friday and their electrician has advised we have a fault on the ring circuit. Now from what I can gather, he says the readings are too high. The live ring is ok, the earth ring is ok, but the neutral ring is showing a fault. His paperwork says R1 phase 0.63, Rn Neutral 56.8, R2 CPC 1.22.
Apparently he needs to book chargeable time locating the problem before he can proceed? This is work i'll need to pay for, outside of our agreed price with the kitchen company.
The circuit in question is for the whole downstairs and he wants to start taking sockets off. Is this a big problem and does it need fxing before he can add new sockets?
