Two consumer units backfed

Exactly. But who is going to find a fault that until I arrived , no one knew existed , and will they let me turn off all the sockets in the house, or pay me to put right something that never existed until I turned up, on a never ending goose chase around the house

One ring one radial

Are you certain that there isn't an end of the ring at each board ?

 

[mick b]

Yes. One is a Wylex board which was added 30 yrs ago and the old one is a old mem with 4 fuses from original wiring .

Just another bodge job when extended

Why do I need a a report for an addition on my own board

Comments on the installation! Surely you realise what you noticed is potentially very dangerous.

Why would you turn off all of the sockets in the house? Why would there be a never ending goose chase? Only incompetent idiots attempting to find faults will go on never ending goose chases.

If they are not happy to have the fault rectified the walk away and don't do any work. Carrying out alterations/extension/addition to the installation knowing that a very dangerous fault exists is negligence on your part.

Yes, another bodge job by someone ignoring a dangerous existing fault and just fitting another board so that they can pretend the existing installation isn't there and take the easiest route to getting paid.
