Nuisance tripping after splitting a ring main

[Mfctitch]

Hello everyone
Really sorry for taking so long to get back to the forum after receiving so many replies. Work got in the way and now on holiday.
But upshot of the problem turned out to be two fold on first leg we pulled some cable up through the floor and found a small hole in the outer sheathing not a bite mark and no nails in sight so cut this out and replaced with a small section..
We are still running the kitchen as a radial as the other leg is impossible to get at without taking the floor up which the customer does not want to do and although I'm a small bloke even I cannot get under the joists..
We have suggested running the leg along the outside wall and back into the cellar at a later stage if he wants.

So basically this is just a thank you for all of your help when really all that was needed was some time, patience and some logical thinking

tell customer that the floor ( or part of it) needs to come up to locate the fault and maybe replace the faulty section. other wise he can call a magician.
