Ha your not kidding... Can't believe thats someones work thats been put on the customer through the insurance company!! What would you recommend, 25mm SWA on an RCD?
 
When was it done because I would be on to the insurance company. Providing fault protection parameters are met a swa cable, assuming it is installed correctly would not require additional rcd protection.
 
It was wired about 6 months ago. I had a little chip away of the plaster where it comes through the wall, it is in metal capping. Time to bite the bullet today though. The poor women has been through enough with the insurance company, she has fought them for near 10 years to get the foundations and house fixed so this sums them up!!! Would you just use 25mm swa and keep the 100A isolator as the circuit protection?

Thanks again chaps

An isolator does not provide any protection, it is just an isolator. You need an ocpd.
I doubt that I'd use 25mm SWA unless this was a very large house with a high demand.
A 63A submain with 10mm SWA is normally sufficient for a domestic installation.
 
Yeah like a fused isolation switch, I'm with you. Going to get onto the insurance company regarding it. Nice one fellas.
