    What code? No RCD, outside lights

    I would code 3 the no RCD protection on outside lights but if you think the lights will fill with water I would code 2 the lights as they do not have the correct IP ratting

    Sorry for the late reply but feel I need to have a guess at the unknown circuit being the immersion heater ?

    Current electrical regulations help please.

    My certificate software has minor works cert that covers up to 5 alterations so if no new circuits are installed you could use one of them but as others have said it sounds like the work is notifiable

    UK Exposed securing screws

    Extending twin and earth, non maintenance....

    Extractor fan from shower isolator

    Sounds to me that the prisable is a good idea .The main time you need the fan on is when the shower is on . If there is a window in the room you would not need the light on to have a shower, so if the fan was controlled by the light switch it may not be used. Much better that the fan comes on...

    0.4 seconds or 5 seconds

    No I think I've been reading wrong. I was not thinking about fault current. as I read the over current part and did not make the connection. So it is saying if the over current device will disconnect connect the supply if there is a fault current then we can use the 0.4s value if not which as...

    0.4 seconds or 5 seconds

    Just to add for TT system if all the bonding is in place and there is over current protection for the circuit (so most installations) then the TN disconnection values are used.

    EICR - Do these C2's Sound Legit?

    For that price I would request list of what jobs they are doing I would guess a new consumer unit loaded with rcbos and new down lights .

    EICR - Do these C2's Sound Legit?

    Agree with Westwood item 1 it a code 3 all day long and code 2 for the others £718 pounds sounds bit expensive though . Do you know what work they are doing for that?

    Head scratching lighting issue

    You say all terminal are tight but the connection in the main head or meter could be loose. I've seen lost neutral show up as reverse polarity on some testers

    Hager split load board - 1 RCD tripping but not the other.

    Sounds to me as a guess that you have all the neutrals in the same bus bar or there is a link between to the two neutral bars that requires removing. As others have said testing is the answer.
