Thanks @DPG, that answered my question.
All I asked this for was for pure information, so I know what's going on rather than having anymore go wrong
Also thanks @Murdoch,@DPG,@Pete999 & @sparksburnout for jumping to conclusions, you honestly think I'm going to even touch a consumer unit yet...
@Gasinspect that's exactly what I thought, I think the hot tub is just touching the brim and causing it to trip. It explains the intermittence trips as its probably the hot tub just automatically turning on its pump/heater or blowers.
Just to confirm though, if I get all RCBO's for all...
Hi @sparksfly, thanks for your advice, so I had a word first thing this morning with the existing electrician ( I couldn't sleep) and he did say he thought he put the hot tub on the RCBO (but it wasn't), maybe a genuine mistake, maybe not, anyhow he said he'll rectify the issue by moving it to...
Also just out of curiosity, I need to ask this, my cousin had her kitchen just redone, looks really nice, but I couldn't help notice that under the sink, right under the hot and cold water pipes, the electrician installed a socket for the washing machine right under them.
It looks really...
Thanks everyone, I'm so glad there are knowledgeable people like you guys out there :) Honestly this RCD tripping was becoming a big big nuisance, couldn't even get on with our work. Now that you have explained @Gavin John Hyde I just hope it's just some moving about that will cure the issue...
@ipf @camerabloke
Honestly, I've just developed a really bad migraine, I feel completely gutted inside.. especially if they should have fixed the issue. I honestly never thought this would happen to us personally, see it on tv and video's but I hope this isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg...
Ok thanks for all your replies.
@Murdoch I'll have a look at the paperwork tomorrow, all I remember however is them saying something about our house wiring was tripping because of a "shared neutral" ? I'm not sure if that's the reason the MCB is there.
Thanks @camerabloke, I'll get back to you soon.
Honestly the community here is 100% strong, I had posted on another forum, and they were telling me that it's one of my speakers were faulty...honestly goes to show that some electricians like yourselves know what your doing and some don't have a...
I already feel sick as it is @ipf, if I give out the figure I think i'm just going to faint, could you tell me what an average charge would be to change this to this new one?
Thanks for your reply @Murdoch,
I'm not sure of any scheme or logo's, I can ask him when I call him next. I'm from Northampton.
Going back to how to resolve this, from what it sounds, is this a big bodge up? will I need another electrician to rewire the whole thing? or is it easy to fix? I'm...

Hey Everyone,
So clearly from the feedback I have received the electrician who came doesn't know what they're doing, I'm really concerned now.
@Murdoch Here is a picture of the fuseboard
@camerabloke, @ipf, @Pete999, @TonyMitchell and everyone else
Thank you for all your responses, I'm so...
Hi Everyone,
So basically like a few other people, I really need some advice from some professional electricians and found this forum so I really hope someone out there can help.
Basically we had a hot tub installed back in June 2017, everything was running fine, till we went for a holiday in...
