According to that report you have a 10mm main earth - out of date size wise, but still a main earth. Unfortunately the information for the earthing and supply arrangements has not been completed, a major piece of information missing.

Nice to see some updated advice.

Show me anything that means it's illegal to use spare space. The deal with DNO in my area is that one side of the meter cabinet is for their gear, the other side is for customer gear. In fact if they supplied the cabinet, the back board was marked up to that effect.

Try getting them to replace a meter box and they will tell you it's yours and your problem, so the ENA can foxtrot oscar.

Do you have an external meter box, it can be easier to run from that sometimes.

Under doorstep selling legislation, the onus is on the contractor to provide a written contract and offer a 10 day cooling off period. From memory this applies to any job over £75. Failure to comply means the customer has the right to claim back any monies paid for an unlimited time period...

Any idea what the house earthing system is? Sometimes there's a lable next to main fuse.

Off peak can usually be achieved via the meter these days, rather than separate off peak unit. Got to be worth considering heat pumps as these offer 3 to 1 efficiency, and sometimes more,so much reduced bills. Most storage heaters have some form of secondary fan heater, but require a second...

That would be wrong as the 30mA is at the socket and not for the circuit.

Not another BBC repeat... 😀

Is the switch shared with other lights? Sounds like you have a permanent supply via another circuit, hence they work with fuse out.

What a mess

No, just done up properly.

I also like working in historic buildings, where you get access to areas the public doesn't.

Have a search in the PV section for John's posts, there's a fairly detailed run down if how he built his battery.

@johnb2713 one for you.

Ok so you've got all the right gear, practice using it around your house.

Have you got suitable test gear? If replacing like for like, I would argue issuing MWC is not really needed albeit it's good practice to do so.

Not sure about smart netersxas I haven't got one, but you can get various monitors for the solar that will show what you want.

Solar, one new circuit to worry about, plus customer 'wants' solar. People don't want electrics, they want a working TV.
