    Is it possible to take power for a 1.kw towel rail heater and extractor from a lighting circuit

    Why not take the supply for the heater from a socket or immersion circuit?

    When to rewire?

    I’d be looking for an RCD socket or rcd FCU as those can give off very odd readings

    Advice on smart meter/monitor

    Just ignore Google reviews - too many are fabricated And if that 2nd fuseboard IS connected to the kitchen ring then it’s a stupid install

    Advice on smart meter/monitor

    Recommended by who? Can you post a photo of the “supply end” to the fuseboard you have posted above ?

    When to rewire?

    0.1Mohms could be the sign of things plugged in IMHO Could you do a circuit by circuit IR to narrow down the issues? I would mention the word rewire to them face to face and see how they react

    Advice on smart meter/monitor

    Get a spark to add a meter in the supply cable to the outside office. Faffing around with variable rates is pointless And could you post a photo of the “supply end” breaker for the garden office?

    Converting consumer unit to duel.

    When you say "old ish" - can you post a photo? Also beware that the new breakers will be more sensitive

    30 - 40 minutes to do an EICR - probably isn't worth the paper its written on I would ask for a refund and find a spark to do it properly as this cow boy clearly doesn't know what he's doing Why did you have the EICR done?

    Dare i ask you how much you paid for the EICR ? and how long was the spark in the house ?

    EV Charger Questions

    But a cable will be needed back to the CU - best avoid joints is my advice

    Dedicated circuit, dedicated RCD

    Earthing/bonding questions re. garden shed

    Why a CU in the shed? What rating of breaker is there protecting the existing cable? Also fitting a CU falls under part P - who is testing and certifying this ?

    New storage heaters, off peak supply

    Dimplex Quantrum can be wired from a single supply or a dual supply The downside of the single supply is that the radiators need to be set to heat when the E7 is active
