Got someone going to look tomorrow so I'll keep you informed.

Sorry I thought I'd posted this.

They never turned up

Thanks for the reply.
Your right pal I'm not a spark but I'm not a numpty either if you know what I mean. Yes I do have a multi meter. In your opinion is it something I can do with the help of good people like yourself ?
For reference this is not for a job but just to help my pensioner in laws out as it appears someone has, like I said, put a 15a fuse into a 30a carrier. I just want to sort it for them so they don't lose all sockets as they currently have done 4 times in the last 3 weeks.
Thanks for any constructive advice I really do appreciate it.

Best thing to do would be the below.

Presuming that's a minor works notice. Would that be necessary as the boiler just plugs in to a nearby socket

You are right as in no they wouldn't have to produce a minor works for a plug in boiler. A professional firm would have provided a switched FCU hopefully on a dedicated circuit with a minor works or EIC.

Funnily enough I had my boiler changed about 10yrs ago that is just on a plug also. Different installer

Is this possible with a multimeter and a loopcheck socket tester

Dedicated circuit for the boiler? Is that more professional? Why is that?

Get an issue on your sockets and you've also got no boiler.....for a more professional job surely it's better to split as many items as possible, within reason. I know I'd much rather (& I consider it more professional) have my boiler on its own FCU and ideally it's own circuit than on a plug top (which is what I said, with out you paraphrasing).
