I smells a rat, a rather sweet aromatic rat.

What’s the issue? Obvious the fuse is unsealed and has been pulled. Put back in opposite way according to the sticker.

nothing else obvious

Is that a T&E coming out the bottom of the cut-out?

Was the botom of the cupboard filled with junk by any chance?

Two, i think.

 

[Dustydazzler]

Is that a bit of 2.5 twin and earth dabbed into the bottom of the cut-out fuse ?

DNO's will produce some nice little graphs on electricity consumption on those jobs. Very helpful in providing an evidential picture on how long the meter has been bypassed, loss of revenue and actually how long the grow has been up and running.
