    How to check if a fuse feeds a ring final or 2 radial circuit

    Get an issue on your sockets and you've also got no boiler.....for a more professional job surely it's better to split as many items as possible, within reason. I know I'd much rather (& I consider it more professional) have my boiler on its own FCU and ideally it's own circuit than on a plug...

    You are right as in no they wouldn't have to produce a minor works for a plug in boiler. A professional firm would have provided a switched FCU hopefully on a dedicated circuit with a minor works or EIC.

    Wiring a new 2 gang socket

    So is connecting a gas fire....difference is you'll smell the gas before something goes wrong. Looking at the picture the installation is probably over 25 years old. I guess each to their own, just make sure you isolate safely and pull test the conductors once connected. You would not believe...

    Fuseboard upgrade. Surveying / condition reports and testing.

    Lots of questions in the OP. Starting at the top... Prices vary massively for CU changes have seen quotes from £250 upto £500. You should charge what you know is suitable for your day rate if you know it's going to take a day. That being said I find CU changes are normally less than a day...

    Wiring a new 2 gang socket

    I'd agree....why not pay an electrician to come in and do a proper job, ensuring you and your family are not put at risk?

    R1+R2 continuity both ways

    Agreed mate, though we were talking about his IR test so thought that was clear enough. I see a lot of experienced sparkies still disconnecting the CPC for the IR tests, they don't believe it changed until you show them GN3.

    R1+R2 continuity both ways

    It's less the leaving the CPC in the main earth bar and more to do with the neutral conductor being left connected. The correct prescribed method is to leave the cpc connected, but remove both line conductors.

    140 V between live and neutral instead of the usual 230 V

    You may also find this in the future between line and Cpcs, often when there is part of the cpc missing or loose.

    Garage Supply - 2 way metal consumer unit in a seperate garage

    Shame it's not a high integrity dual rcd board, I just installed a similar set-up, but used an mcb to protect the 4mm swa for the garage which had a 63A RCD main switch with 2 mcbs in the unit. Never been a fan of large consumer units with no none RCD ways.

    R1+R2 continuity both ways

    No damp areas? Almost like there is something else in the circuit? Or when you IR'd did you have cpc on the bar still with neutral connected?

    remedial work after an EICR was carried out on a residential property

    A lot would depend on your client. When you find a C1 you should let the client know asap, backing that up in writing. If you have a good rapport you may be asked to fix it and bill them for it. If it's just an EICR with no scope to carry out remedial work then there's not much else you can do...

    Electricians arms...

    Thanks GMES, I've been a member of the forums for a long time, just more of a reader than a poster! Been in the trade for 15 years, time served, but am only now in the process of setting up my own business so haven't got all the bits up yet. Can point you in the direction of my FB page though....
