Hiya fellas
Just bought a house and need a report on electrics for retention.
No earth bonding and old wired cu with no rcd. I think this is why it was pulled up and retention held.
Can't afford a full rewire till got money back off retention 25k. Ridiculous.
Before getting a report I was going to get a new 17th edition cu put in but I've found that all the existing cable to cu is steel core. Although red n black insulated and grey outer sheathing and in excellent condition is this ok for time being.
Can't afford a rewire till get retention money but it will need doing as lots of surface mounted sockets and switches.
Also I have picked up a 10 way 100 amp cu that was on offer for 40 quid in bandq with 25mm tails. Far to many for a bungalow and the main fuse is only 60 amp. Will I need to get eleccy company out to upgrade or downgrade tails to 15mm.
Any one help?
Cheers.
