If you mean does the neutral disconnect at the same time as the phase then yes, but it's because the neutral is dragged along with the phase and not a 3mm gap as far as I know, the only one's I found and used are Hager which are true double pole RCBO's but they are double width, think Legrand do...

Have a close look at that floor collapse, there are obvious structural faults in its construction that indicate there wasn't a Structure Engineer or Architect involved in its design, I will leave you to speculate who designed it.

Conversely you could say the same about Architects and Structural Engineers, but they do have a legally recognised body and qualifications, that does not stop Joe on the street building what they like, but they do get taken to court if they are found out by the local council for contravening...

Except that prosecution is acting under false pretences and nothing to do with being a competent electrician. Until such time as a recognised qualification to be an electrician has been passed through the statute has royal assent and becomes law nothing will change. As a discussion point why...

That is the whole problem, electricians do not need to have qualifications to work or be a member of a particular authoritative body/institute/association, so there are numerous organisations out there vying for you to sign into and none of them are statute or have royal assent.

You don't need the battery in place to slide the alarm onto the base, just the dropped down flag pushed up into the void, thats why I suggested seeing if the alarm still works with the backup battery removed that will verify the supply cable. The OP said the light still works, so if the alarm...

Does the alarm still work if you take out the Alkaline battery backup, if it does your mains are still connected and it could be a failure of the green LED.

It was a tongue in cheek comment that seems to have got up some peoples nose's, get a life guys and lighten up.

Ohhh little green monster. 😷 And only one Porsche already although it's an old one. 😇 And it's made not make been retired for a number of years now.

An EICR in a less than an hour, what other conclusion can there be.

Just an update in case anyone is interested, we gave our Notary (French Government Solicitor obligatory in France) power of attorney to act on our behalf, house is now sold and monies are in my account, Hm Porsche or Range Rover.🤔

Have not seen this on the Forum so thought it may be of interest: PRESS RELEASE: ELECTRICIAN’S GUILTY PLEA OVER REPORT SIGNING OFF UNSATISFACTORY ELECTRICS -- A Pembrokeshire electrician has pleaded guilty to supplying a report claiming the electrics in a household property were satisfactory...

Much rather have one job at £1000.00 that ten at £100.00.

I was always the most expensive in my area for anything I quoted for, when the rate was questioned with "But Joe said his rate was" I would always answer "Get Joe to do it for you, when you get into trouble or the job isn't finished and Joe has disappeared you know where I am" the job then...

No don't work at all now, retired over ten years ago and closed the company.

That's the fantasy land that bought me a second home in France and a very nice sports car.

A picture of the CU would help, but normally somewhere in the region of £500.00 for a straightforward EICR with no access or problems that need to be addressed as a mater of urgency, but as soon as a problem is found the costs go up to rectify them.

As the OP is not an electrician the use of "ECIR" would tend to indicate he may know what he was paying for even though the letters may be misplaced, a periodic inspection would indeed take less time, but even then longer than 1hr 40mins, I feel you are making excuses for a cowboy.

I assume you mean a EICR, It would take me at least one whole day, according to size of property, and a few hours after to prepare the report, seems you have not paid tell them to take a long walk off a short pier, get someone else to do one for you, did the previous electrician hitch his horse...
