With hubby being cagey about it maybe there was more to it.
You never know... It's just frustrating... I'm just trying to help them out a bit.

I'm more curious why the electricians say they don't need a cert...
Ok, please excuse my ignorance now but what should the general public ask for when they get an electrician to do some work?
I know they don't need to be part of a scheme.
So what would we ask to see?
Does sound like theyve been had from the info we've got.
A simple plug tester & a walk around checking would have found them quickly.
A fault with a RFC (or any circuit for that matter) can take some time to locate, unless you strike lucky, and certainly if a diy'er has been let loose with JB's a plenty under the floors
I really don't think that we're in a position to suggest that the electricians were in the wrong with next to no knowledge of the work involved.
Update:
This is what they said they have done:
We've basically put a new supply and rcbo in and connected it to the house sockets which are now fault free. The original cable still has a fault on it. It has no load so it should be ok until you do the garage at which point it might be possible to trace it back and find the actual fault location. Anyway we've sorted it were others did not.
If I understand correctly, it's new circuit. So it's an EIC and a Part P Buildings Approval needed, I'd have thought. Any evidence of testing?
Any chance you are going to be able to investigate yourself.
Don't know why you're bothered to be honest!
