    Niceic electrician left flat unsafe

    This all sounds a bit weird to me, So you aren’t an electrician? You’ve had an NIC registered company in to do work but yet it’s deemed unsatisfactory/unsafe by another electrician? Needs more detail here like the others have said send the report here whilst ensuring the personal details are...

    Earthing arrangement

    Yes absolutely do not touch anything inside that enclosure. Ideally you should be there when the DNO are there and between you discuss what is going on. Too much to risk with potching inside there without safe isolation procedure we all want to go home at end of day ?

    EICR unsatisfactory due to 'no RCD protection to lighting circuits'

    Depends on the location of the (Pendant) doesn’t it when your standing in the bath with a shower then ceiling height is reduced and especially if the pendant is within arms reach. All bathrooms without suitably IP rated light should be rcd protected in my opinion if they aren’t they C2 if they...

    Outside lights / socket outside covered way

    Isn’t it best to provide double pole isolation for outdoor equipment? Therefore in the event of a fault occurring you can isolate inside?

    TN-S earthing issue

    I agree with you here I have two rules which I like to stick to. CSA of main earth should be at least half of supply conductors. Also within a TN earthing system should be minimum of 10mm. I do think a 6mm is undersized and needs upgrading just ring the DNO and speak to them I’ve done it many...

    Outside lights / socket outside covered way

    Just spur off a socket inside into a double pole isolator and then drill through to provide an external socket then either have a fused spur next to that socket or run SWA to a fused spur suitably IP rated fused down for lights required

    Island extractor hood

    The word potchy over my way means - something which is awkward, unpleasant, not easy a bit fiddly. So if you put the two words potchy install together you’ll get my lingo hopefully ???
