Did you sign to say you didn’t want surge protection?

A pity the plasterer didn’t pipe up with “ this looks a bit rough” before he covered it up.


Getting your money back seems unlikely, but depending on local trading standards office… there may be some comeback.
Solicitor?
Local MP?

I hate these crooked tradesmen. Taking advantage of the general public.
Get onto the BBC Rough Traders or whatever.

Any chance of a photo of consumer unit?
There are rcd times listed, but no rcd on the certificate. (Might be a dual rcd board, but it still should be listed)

Can I kick off with a design question? What do we think about 20A for the kitchen with no separate appliance circuit(s)?

It’s a 20A for the kitchen sockets & a 30 for the cooker

To be fair, I have seen a LOT WORSE than that, it looks like it has been installed by someone who has some pride in their work.

if I had to nit pick,
there is too much copper on show where the cables exit the circuit breakers.
no surge protection
i think 20A radials x3 is a bit mean for a house, especially a kitchen.

I think it could be quite a bold choice considering the ease with which a 32A socket circuit could have been installed and the potential for all manner of appliances and gadgets to be used.

But having said that I know my own kitchen would be absolutely fine with just a 20A radial, in fact my entire flat would be fine on one 20A.

Well he does now - he said he’ll come sort it Monday but was trying to talk himself out of it on the phone - NAPIT is who hes registered with
