[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 539442, member: 6969"] A competent electrician would test BEFORE he changed the consumer unit. The process of testing is quite lengthy and too much to type out but it certainly sounds like your "electrician" was not competent. What certificates did he give you after completing his work? If his only "testing" was with a voltage pen and a plug in socket tester then he is not an electrician, but a cowboy. Not all houses need a rewire, just as not all recent houses don't. but most old houses will need some upgrading works. If you are having new flooring, get the tripping issues sorted first, so stop the work on the new flooring or you might be undoing some of that work, or the electrician will blame the tripping on the work you have just had done.
