Re: how not to wire your extension Dritherm cavity batts are a perfectly acceptable form of insulation. This type of insulation is known as full fill and is a standard building system. There is no need for clips and it wont transmit damp from outside to inside.- saveloy

Looking at all those pics I'd say that the electrics are only half of your worries. The building work is shyte as well. If the work you CAN see is that bad gawd knows what the hidden stuff is like.- saveloy

RCD doesnt trip on test.
You really need a tester. I wouldn't bother with changing the board until you have tested the RCD to ensure that this is not faulty.- saveloy

Check inside the garage board. I had a fault exactly the same as this last week. RCD would hold but wouldn't work on the test button. Tripped on Zs test.Wouldn,t trip on any RCD tests. Disconnected everything from RCD and it worked perfect. Tripped on test button and all trip times within...- saveloy

Simple job?
Why not tell the tight arse skinflint wannabe amateur landlord to do a proper job and fit a proper interlinked system with a couple of smokes and a heat alarm.

customer not willing to pay
What beats me is why any customer needs 30/60/90 days to pay an invoice. Just pay up FFS.- saveloy

external shower run
Why not use conduit and singles for the complete run if possible. Save all that fannying about with ip rated boxes and no joints. Also a lot easier to pull singles through conduit as well.- saveloy
