Consumer unit change with a fault!

[HappyHippyDad]

Evening all..

I have just changed a CU. I did find a neutral - earth fault prior to the change so I thought I would probably have a tripping RCD.. which I did!

My dilema is how do I proceed with the paperwork?

I'm going back tomorrow morning to do all of the testing and I shall give the required certificates (with a note on regarding neutral/earth fault on downstairs lights), but I get the feeling the chap is going to hunt for the fault himself, the reason being it will require the floorboards being taking up and he doesn't want to incur anymore cost (fault is in a junction box(s), under the floorboards that someone has kindly wired all the downstairs lights from - took me a while to figure this out!)

The main point being that the work is notifiable, but I cant notify it if it still has faults! How do I proceed?

I realise I should have perhaps corrected the fault before the CU change, but the chap just wanted the new CU in and due to my inexperience I wasn't sure if the new CU would trip!

Cheers...

The record isn’t held here. 47,000 posts on how to break a cast iron bath! The site could have multiple branches from the main topic, it just went wild. It started out sensible, it went a bit off track.

And you'll read alot more of them too Glen. Unlike the many new members who you have bullied and who will now be too afraid to ask any further questions It doesn't bother me.

Well done!

No use crying in the corner - just come back with a bigger bat!

Cast iron bath - lump hammer, thick gloves, ear defenders, eye protection

edit: unless you're the tat man, in which case forget ear defenders or gloves or eye protection, replace with manky tracksuit, trainers, spliff in mouth, spots, and the axe/maul that was the nearest thing available, that Rick-O-Shea's (can't spell proper word) off the bath with the axe cleaving bit narrowly missing ones lower leg each time its swung.

how cynical of me

First time I had a go I thought for a second I'd been transported into the bell tower of a church. Inside the bell.
