His point was that anybody claiming to be part p approved/registered is a liar.
I am on a government register of approved part p electricians.
I didn't know that the government kept such a register, where can this be found?

I guess on the I.O.M all the earthing is 'TT' Charlie ?
Hi - it needs testing, but sometimes this can be caused by a failing light switch’s contact bounce. Or not .After the last visit to explain all the above to me, they also replaced my downstairs WC light (which is also connected to the extractor fan just for info) And now i find that every 1 in 10 times i turn this light on it flips my downstairs lighting circuit.
Hi - you are right, RF light switch failure modes likely to be different. If this is an RF light switch that causes a trip then the receiver unit would be on the list of suspects, along with a wiring fault.@Wilko - Thanks for the reply. Would this likely still be the case when using an RF light switch as opposed to a traditional mechanical switch though?
The socket that your Electrician said "can't be heightened" the cables come up from the floor, correct so far? if yes is the floor a solid floor, or of wooden construction? if wooden can the boards be taken up? if yes then any decent Electrician could extend the cables under the floor using a MF JB (Maintenance Free Joint Box) doesn't sound like a difficult job. The other two faults may look serious to you but a simple fix can be found, is this Electrician a member of any of the CP Schemes, NICEIC as an example? sounds like a bit of a chancer to me.Hi Pete - The work was done by an electrician, and they havn't yet finished the job. But i'm guessing the answers i'm likely to recieve are:
1. Can't do anything about the heightening the plug.
2. Take off all your switches and go back to how it was before.
3. Accept you can't have a light switch for your outdoor security lights.
So i'd rather get other's views ahead of time really.
After reading the original comments I was willing to give the spark the benefit of the doubt because the work wasn't finished but the solutions they have provided for your problems are pretty poor in truth it actually sounds like they don't particularly know whay they are doing or how to go about fixing what could be a simple problem
