[QUOTE="UNG, post: 552630, member: 8931"] You don't say how old the property is but looking at the distribution equipment it would suggest that some parts of the installation are more than likely in need of a rewire and an overall upgrade to include RCD / RCBO protection The foil on the incomer may be to prevent any resin or pitch leaching from the cable covering damaging items stored close to it in the cupboard While it might be worth getting an EICR done it may be better to invest the money in updating the electrics instead I always tell people who are considering purchasing a property to count the number of sockets as usually there is not enough to cope with modern living and a rewire is the best way to solve it [/QUOTE]
