[QUOTE="kme, post: 329660, member: 113"] [ATTACH]4045._xfImport[/ATTACH] The pic for MHF81 I`ve seen MUCH worse in private lets, to be honest. However, a 5 A and 2 15A is an odd layout. There isn`t an RCD - for safety there ought to be - but getting one fitted, with awkward landlords, can be a pain. Essex is too far from me, but one of our members may be able to call & assess - the fusebox is one thing; but arcing (flashing) sockets & switches is quite another. What I WOULD do, in your position; is turn the power off ( daytime ;) ), pull the fuses out, and confirm that the size of the wire in them matches the size on the card of spare wire that you have there.
