I wish you all the best with your recovery, I hope you will be back to normal very soon. Good luck, nasty thing to happen.
I agree: get photographs of what is there now, as soon as possible, get some one out there, record anything you can, photos, cables, labels, walls everything.
Write out a statement of what happened to you as you have done here and keep a record of it with dates and times.
This will stand you in good stead later.
However that said if more than one year has passed since the CU change then this may be outside times for action wrt The building act.
There is very little chance that you would be able to sue the previous contractor if the tests were OK, since inspection of a circuit is not required for a CU change.
One could also say that this was natural deterioration of the installation that has only been identified now (by you).
But still it is worth inquiring of a solicitor what actions are possible, and I wish you luck with your success.
