I'm renting to my brother, not a freebie though. Not charging full rate but at least I know he's gonna look after it.
Your right, no point in patching it up. As I'm ripping the old kitchen out anyway, might as well do the lot.
I think I'm just trying to find ways of saving money cause...
Vortigen u got me good lol, worried I might have to find another electrician, cause he seems decent. I just like to know different options before any job gets done.
Richard burns thanks for doing the diagram and explaining the quote, made it clearer for me and to everyone else as well, Very...

My brother is adamant about it being rcd protected because his of kids and wife, so I just...
I wasn't sure if my current cu was rcd protected so I did ask to be quoted for a new one before they did the report.
If I was planning on moving in, I would be fine with the current cu but as my brother and his family are moving in I just want to be sure that it's completely safe. If not I'll...
