I like to see someone use the little pictogram stickers on a CU when their handwriting is shaky.... Then lose the one for central heating.
And did he have to write "RCD" under the RCD?

I know these comments have nothing to do with the current problem.

Agree. Wait for your electrician if you can.

IMHO all fixed appliances, on shared RCD's should ALWAYS have accessible means of DP isolation.............

Op's got one.

haha i have only just noticed that, funnily enough i used to work for siemens who own the wylex brand i started on a production line applying those stickers some years back!

I can wait, if i must! as taylor stated above i feel a tad guilty, and its holding me back not knowing if the hob and oven and housing can stay as it is, or am i going to have to rip it out in order for him to chase the walls again taking him more time that i know he hasn't got as i know hes a busy boy. i also wanted to tile!

My money is on no spark

I presumed so... for the range that was planned .however this was a single box that i changed to a double in anticipation of both hob and oven having plugs and thought it might be helpful to the electrician, Then i woke up!! and it dawned on me i know sod all.

Yep!

Here we go again. There is no regulation. If you think there is then please supply the number.
But in any case, from #1

as I'm aware he has prepped for a cooker switch on the wall

So it's there, reg or not..

Too many questions, and you don’t have a scooby. I know you feel guilty because you changed your mind, but you’ll have to be patient. You’ll only add to the work he’s got to do when/if he gets back from Hawaii.
See if you can get a bulk deal with Deliveroo while you wait.

Best practice and not my post says "should" rather than "has to"

The reg about "minimising convenience" is the one that is most applicable..................

Just imagine the fault on the cable to the oven, oven can't be moved, so the RCD can't be reset .................................. seen it so many times.

Missing out DP "accessible" isolation seems to be the norm these days .................. sooner or later home owners will find out the hard way what this really means and how inconvenient it really is

Why have you booked a spark for kitchen works when he is going on a long break?

And why are you randomly changing things on his behalf?

Also...Any circuit that is moved around and buried in the walls will need 30mA RCD protection.

@123 the cooker circuit is RCD protected. See the pictures!

Hmm...not that this warrants a reply, However I Feel you may be a bit worked up and frustrated regarding my post and feel as a good citizen i may be able to put your mind at ease.
(Q)Why have you booked a spark for kitchen works when he is going on a long break? (A) he started the work 6 weeks ago he is booked back in on the 17 th of may as i needed time to plaster and fit the kitchen, if he chooses to go on Holiday between initial installation and the 17th of may Thats his choice i hope he has a excellent break.

(Q)And why are you randomly changing things on his behalf? (A)I only changed a single box to a double (explained further up the thread) this was by no means a random act i had full control of my body and mind when doing this. Also...

(Q)Any circuit that is moved around and buried in the walls will need 30mA RCD protection not really a question however maybe read the thread back.

Hope this does not anger you,in fact it would be great if you maybe were a little nicer to folk just looking for a bit of advice, The bulk of the traffic that keeps forums like this going come from people like me, i have been polite. good rule of thumb....treat people as you would to their face, have a great evening
