[QUOTE="Gina, post: 539901, member: 36065"] UNG, what you describe, "So, close to zero readings would be ok for continuity checks but what Insulation Resistance checks were done as these need to be above 1MΩ as an absolute minimum and close to zero would be a circuit that couldn't be connected" I think the electrician doesn't know! I will ask him when he comes! He may know installing things but not checking circuits. If he wanted to do a quick thing, he just checked like I could check really! I am going to print all options/advices here and discuss with him. I need to study electricals.. get a book and read as it seems I cannot trust ones job! I did the same for other jobs in the house! Why do we need to worry and consume time with finding the right way because some traders don't do it right? Out of curiosity, how much a consumer unit as above would cost installing, testing and certificates? Before there were 4 fuse boxes, he made it in one consumer unit. I will attach photos of before CU. I just attached the previous fuse boxes, 4 in the 3 photos and one more photo of the cupboard and their positioning. He started taking wires out in the full picture, but the fuse boxes and wires were neatly done when they were done.. I am transparent so, in London, south est London, Bromley area if that makes a difference, any estimates of such a job, changing new CU and test and certificate. [/QUOTE]
