Any idea why the blender has tripped my downstairs breaker? Annoyingly when the extension was built they took the lounge feed and extended it round the kitchen but never bought it back to the CU (Concrete floors maybe put them off) So when the CU was upgraded this year a different sparks could only throw in a 16amp fuse as opposed to a 32amp. Could it simply just be a matter of to much on the circuit when the blender is running with it's 1560w motor?
Oh dear that is a bad news your kitchen needs a ring main 32A preferably on it own circuit suggest you get a proper sparks in to see how little damage he can do to rectify this
 
Rubbish. If they are claiming that they are liars. There is no such thing as part P registered. Part P is a building regulation not a qualification. Try asking for their registration certificate to call their bluff.

If somebody is on a register of competent part p electricians then aren’t they part p registered?
 
Perhaps you could tell us what advice you need now? The socket would be easy enough to reposition, the lights needs further investigation by somebody on site we can only speculate from here. Does the blender trip the mcb on another circuit or just that one?
 
I havn't checked it to be honest. I'll give it a go on another circuit and find out. Can the lighting faults be isolated via testing aparatus? I take it most sparks would have the tools to do this in the van. Trying to understand the process of how one narrows down where it occurs so i know what to expect in terms of work and time for any further spend. If the problem is existing and has been amplified by the addition of my new switches and sockets then i'm assuming this troubleshooting would be deemed additional works for quoting? What do you think?
 
I’m an approved part p electrician and and also registered as such..

As I keep saying part P is a building regulation not a qualification.

Perhaps you would show us a copy of this qualification that you claim to have!

All electrical work must be carried out in accordance to part P of the building regulations. But there is no part P qualification as such.

I am part p registered not qualified..
I suggest you get your terminology right before you start calling people liars..
What is it you mean?
Part P Qualified or registered??

I am not claiming to be part p qualified, I said I am part p approved/registered..
Please read and understand what I have written before you twist it into something else

The point he is trying to make is that you are registered with a CPS (competent person scheme) to satisfy the requirements of approved document P of the building regulations.
