No neutral from bottom of second DP switch to neutral bar. I'm guessing an RCD has been replaced at some point due to nuisance tripping?

nothing wrong that a complete strip down and rewire won't fix. that's a rat's abortion.

old split load board with trippy rcd , so some clever sparks swapped out the rcd for a main switch , seen this loads of times

my guess is that they re-used the old splt board when rewiring and it tripped out so they took the easy option

Having a main switch instead of the RCD is not immediately dangerous or potentially dangerous.
there are issue that can be coded due to inadequate additional protection, but I can’t see the main switch being a Code in itself. What do you think?

Just ask yourself is this issue immediately dangerous? Is someone in imminent danger?
or is there a potential danger? Could some one come to harm if some one does something?
ask yourself if the double pole isolator without a neutral is dangerous and how is it dangerous? Justify your coding.
I don’t like it, I think it’s wrong. just because I don’t like it and think it’s wrong doesn’t mean I can code it. I can’t just say it’s wrong. you have to give a valid reason why it is electrically wrong.
so what do you think? Does it need coding? And why?

The composition is appalling.
It is lit from the wrong angle, casting unnecessary shadows.
No effort has been made to introduce texture or add any depth, shape or lines.
Have you even heard of the rule of thirds?
Your question should have been "Whats right with this pic?" It would have been a substantially shorter list.

If you are a fully qualified sparkie you should not do EICRs unless you are skilled in doing so. Also relevant experience in the type of installation you are testing. This is for fully qualified sparkies.
when I qualified I did not do an EICR until such time as I had gained enough experience and I did a course. This was a couple of years later.
you are a trainee, maybe best wait to do EICRs Until you are qualified and have a couple of years or enough relevant experience in the type of installation you are testing.
It is unfair for the customer you are doing it for as they are paying for someone who they think knows what they are doing. Remember the customer will be acting on the advice and coding you are going to give.

Hes trying to help you there is no need to be rude. Clearly your electrical knowledge is extremely poor and you don't know what your doing from what I see so westwarda question is justified. You have turned to the people here for help, so why not accept it.

The original question was answered in the first few replies…. Which pointed out many more faults than just a neutral.
Doing an EICR does not require you to know how to fix it, only how to code what is wrong, and as mentioned, you need a good few years experience before doing the report competently.
