Hi, recently had an EICR test done by 'Landlord Certificates' which failed due to circuite 3 having two radial circuits into a single 32amp MCB, they advised splitting it into two 20amp MCB's and quoted Ā£174 including EICR certificate. The Electrian appears to have simply taken out the 32amp MCB's and put in a 20amp and 16amp. Was the original actually a fail? And is what the Electrician has done now acceptable?

Is circuit 3 a ring ? Or is it already a pair of radials ?
Is the feed to the boiler via a fcu ?
What type of boiler is it ?
Do you have an immersion tank heater ?
The chap who come to do the EICR said 3 was a ring that had lost continuity, but I don't think he can be relied upon.
Yes Boiler has FCU.
Combi boiler - no tank, it was fitted last year by BG
 
Sorry not much to add except to say those terminations are so bad they make my eyes bleed. Exposed copper all over the place.

I think you need a new electrician that comes recommended. If you don't know any from family or friends then at least you could look up NICEIC etc for a registered electrician from your area.
