New kitchen, live earth fault!!

It was a fitter that has his own business, he does a lot of work for a large kitchen supplier, we gave him the job independently, cash in hand!!

What cash in hand for the fuseboard change?

Is the hob plugged in?

No, be use that's were the fault first started, until they come back they said to leave it unplugged.

Faults like yours don't normally "happen" without something else contributing to the situation....

Just wondering if he is going to do the LABC Part P notification?

I think the spark who changed the board and the chap who did the kitchen change have a moral obligation to investigate FOC...

So the upstairs sockets aren't protected by a RCD - why not? The installation doesn't comply with the regs....

Can you post a picture of the fuseboard?

From rcd readings looks like a high integrity board. Upstairs sockets won't be used out of doors, maybe he is on an old set of Regs

He was a kitchen fitter, you can't expect it to be right when you employ those cowboys to do electrical work.
