[QUOTE="Gina, post: 539887, member: 36065"] He came and checked the tripping before the floors went down.. He said is all good. He had other small bits on his list to fix, from the day he teasted the new CU.. I never imagine the situation will turn like this. He could have test it properly, as I am sure at this day, having other bits he just did the quick test with the plug in 3 lights socket and he saw 3 green lights, assumed it's all good. He was first contacted by us in the beggining of November. When we told him about the tripping again while floor fitters were here, he came but the floors were covered already where the wires would go.. he tested at the CU and I went to see what is he doing and showed me the L and N were 0.4 or so, close to zero, so were good. But the earth was showing 99. I am sure if he tested this way before, he would find same numbers and the difference is, he would have access to the circuit as the old floors would be ok to be lifted. Than he could have tell us this circuit needs changed. Thank you everyone! I am greatfull for time and advice given! I really didn't expect this much involvement. I will wait and see when he is back what we will do. I will take notes from advices on this thread and also ask him to test as other sparks adviced. And I don't look for war, but solutions. Just worried for the rest of circuits now.. anyway.. bad luck as many other stuff since we moved here, where traders did it wrong.. [/QUOTE]
