The electrician did some other jobs like changing a few sockets, switches, 16 spot lights for 3 days, than he did the fuse box on the forth and some on the fifth day. If he checked the circuits and all the checks I don't know. As other electricians here said, he should have test the house first...

I forgot he sent me some photos .. I will ask him what he did and what I learnt here, the feedback from electricians here.

There are 2 circuits, as the electrician disconnected one from the tripping point and left the working one connected. Where I find the rating? B32 at number/position 2 RCBO, if that is what are you asking? Inside there are 2 circuits, one disconnected as it's the tripping circuit and one...

Just a mention to 'You have individual RCBO's per circuit... which is Good!', on the same RCBO I saw 2 circuits, the trouble/bad one and the good circuit. The electrician disconnected the trouble one and used a safety, and left only the good circuit connected to the RCBO. If the ground shows 99...

Thank you! We did not get any certificates or paper work of any kind yet..The electrician will have to come back and check the upstairs hall lights following the wires from the loft and connect a plug with the bad circuit to a plug with a good circuit.. After this he should give us a...

But even behind the skirtingboards, you have doors.. what you do where the skirting board is not there? Take the floor up and than back into next skirtingboard? Unless you have a good closeby circuit where you can connect but how many sockets a circuit can hold? These junction boxes, again...

I don't know how to explain, but this is what I meant, there are skirtings with this space designed for wires.. My english is not that good and I also don't know technical words as everyone here. Appologies if I am hard in understanding. Ufff... I had a team of brasilians as well.. you should...

Thanks Murdoch, I think the CU looks neat and the electrician did stuff in the house but testing the CU and circuits, that's what I am worried about. If you do a job, do it properly.. testing it properly should show if circuits are in good shape, right? And replacing and checking sockets or...

The new consumer unit we have is named Fuse Box! I read that fuse box is an old thing which now is called consumer unit and has the tripping fuses, RCDs, RCBOs, MCBs.

Thank you mort2376! I am so thankful people are so supportive and trying to help here! So nice of all of you! Thinking you have an electrician coming for 5 and a half days in your house, with hours more (5-6 hrs) or less daily (4 hrs but quoted full day), I didn't know he will quote per day, as...

Thank you trailer boy, we are trying to do stuff in the right order, we had a few unlucky or just say bad experiences with different trades regarding different matters. The previous owners did not provide much to us.. We really had a hard 3 years with trying to buy a house.. I will not detail...

Too late now.. thank you

Thank you Binky, the tripping was there before the floor guys arrival.. I tried to use the vacum and it tripped. Than it tripped again at the next plug and it tripped with another occasions. I explained at ProDave answer reply... It is a circuit where are connected 4 plugs, 2 and 2 in 2...

Dear ProDave, the electrician did some testing after the consumer unit instalation but I don't know if he tested all circuits or I did not look what he was doing.. He has an electronic box with a wire attached and a hook at the end which he used it to catch the wires by the cooper end, one...

Dear electricians, if I had to give opinion about house works like kitchen installing, floors, decorating etc. I could, but electrics are a Science Fiction subject to me. We had an electrician 6 weeks ago and he was taking care and checks all electrics in our new purchased house. He said he...
