    DNO says RCD not required

    Possibly, he is only installing Main breaker on the DNO side, and i suppose it would be up to the installer to put in a board with RCD/RCBO, etc to protect the circuits.

    Ir tests

    Surely if the Line conductor was snagged on the CPC/Earthed metalwork there would be an extremely low reading due to the fact no insulation is between the conductors and they are forming a circuit!!!! Technicaly giving you a R1+R2 reading??

    Upstairs Fuseboard

    Personnel opinion is put all in one board on the ground floor as stated above, unless you really need to have an upstairs i.e. seperate flat, rented etc... Doesnt make sense all this messig around when you can just extend the circuits to the lower level.

    NICEIC Certification Scheme niceic approved contractor

    I was going to say that a lot of larger companies tend to only use AC, mainly so they can cover themselves and they know you will probably provided quick RAMS, certs etc, if needed.

    I think its good to be an approved contractor, peace of mind for the customer too knowing the guy sorting his electrics is not the local pig farmer :) How much it cost these days for annual fee?

    Cost for 5 downlights guys

    You need to get a spark to look at it, if the circuit has no RCD, then one is fitted and it keeps tripping/doesnt pass testing, circuit needs rewiring then you are talking a few more pennies then £80 quid, that would be coming out of your pocket for not qouting correctly too remember!!! If all...

    Ir tests

    Check all connections are tight and have a good amount of conductor in the terminal, this can sometimes lower your reading.
