But I can't take the consumer unit apart to show you wiring. I just really don't understand how some of you think I'm making this up lol. I'd have absolutely nothing to gain!

No I'm away at the moment got in late last night didn't get a chance. Just becaus someone isn't online 24/7 doesn't mean anything. i won't be back until sat morning. even still I don't see how a picture of a consumer unit confirms anything! I have never opened a consumer unit in my life, and...

I can go get a picture of the db when I get in if you really want it? Don't see how it could help at this point.  Its just a 5 socket db with breakers in it.

Not offended at all. I understand. i definitely wouldn't attempt to do anything like this myself. Even if I understood the basics I would never risk touching a cable that is always live and that I can never turn off. as far as I understand it under the main consumer unit the wires coming into...

Yeah hence why I havnt relied on it. In getting a second opinion and I'm gonna go all out with 100% full details this time

Actually I payed on credit card.  If someone has messed up as bad as you say I don't want them back to do anything. I don't have to deal with the provider of his services as my credit card company will deal with it. ive had a an issue with a holiday company before. Didn't bother contacting the...

Maybe someone is claiming to be qualified when they aren't then.  Obviously if someone has done something completely wrong and I want a second opinion to be sure of course I'm gonna have a second person. No point calling the original person back who said it was ok

I don't know what you are struggling to believe. It must be highly arrogance in the electrician field if you honestly believe there is not a single electrician in the uk out of thousands that could do this.  Everything I have stated happened. The guy who sent this form was told what I wanted...

I've been reading around and aparinately for 50a circuit you need atleast 6AWG wire which = 13mm2 so if Google is correct he hasn't even used big enough wire?

Your forgetting to me someone who isn't an electrician wouldn't know that adding an extra sub panel would be any more difficult than adding a few sockets.. hadnt even heard of earth leakage until you mentioned it.  Im seriously shocked then if he hasn't done it right. Seriously this was new...

I would normally do that for big jobs but honestly did not think it would be that difficult if a job to add a few sockets 

LOL! You think I did this myself??  I went out for 10 mins and lost track of the thread. the guy who wrote this cert did the work. He is an electrician from this area and has his details online! i would never dare in a million years open that consumer unit based on the fact I know it's live. ...

And no I don't tend to get written contracts for any jobs like this really other than the contractor writing down a list of things I want /need doing. maybe another lesson learned. i got a loft coversion 7 years ago in my old house... no contract for that either now that I think about it...

Only reason I called a second guy was for a second opinion which I've now got from here.  Obvoisly I've made the mistake of not going into a lot of detail about the circuit I didn't know it was needed I didn't even know there were this many things to consider for circuits..  the guy said it...

The reason I am using American terms then is because I don't know much about electrics and most of what I know has been learned off a lot of reading over the past 2 weeks so I've been reading American stuff lol. 200a was a mistake I meant 100a it says on the cert. and I've already stated no...
