    I moved into a new house today and whilst moving the sofa I broke the blanking plate off what I think is a junction box near the electric meter (it has two wires in one way and one the other way).

    Broken Neutral in Ring

    Hi I have a broken neutral in a socket ring, the customer doesn't want it fixed as he intends to re-wire the property in 18 months time. I have changed the consumer unit. Should I refuse to issue the certificate or put it in the notes. He has energised the circuit despite my advice not to.
