UK mcb tripping after new sockets

[Jaco13579]

hi all. A friend asked if i would look at his kitchen sockets as they would trip just the mcb now and then. i said ill look but thats it as he had a electrician install 3 spurs and add 1 socket on a radial circuit 16amp mcb and looks like 6mm t&e from mb for the circuit and looks like the combi boiler is on the same circuit (guessing spured). Here's where my problem is he has under counter fridge/freezer, tumble drier, dishwasher, washing machine, plus all the other kitchen stuff. From my under standing from what i remember the load is to much for the 6mm cable and the 16amp mcb.
I believe hes spoke with the electrician and hes said everything is fine with it.
any advise on this would be great
thanks

We used to call it John Wayne. Rough, tough and it doesn’t take s**t from anyone.

even worse than yellow pages, ot the daily mirror that the workshy red labourites used to leave in the works bogs.

IF he has run a 6mm radial that will be able to handle the load will need to just update the MCB as that is not suitable .
But i suspect its 6mm from the consumer unit and then spurred off in 2.5mm , and as a radial it it been overloaded.
would be best to get a electrican in as the will have the equipment to test the actual circuit

As a boy, we had the Izal and the soft paper, and used them together, the Izal acting as a tough, outer sheath with waterproof properties...

OP, what certification did you or your friend receive?

probably wrote on left-over Izal bog roll that became obsolete when them labrador puppies started advertising. for the youngsters that don't remember it, it was a shiny, useless arse wipe that instead of removing the shyte, just spread it across your arse. i remember being in hospital aged 11 and every sh*t sheet was stamped "Hospital Property". as if anyone would want to nick it.

Are you sure Tel, all I remember Izal roll saying at school was "Now please wash your hands"

that's a posh school. we had old daily mirrors and much read beanos.

Softy! they where made out of rag paper in those days and very soft to the touch in comparison.

I remember the "hospital property" logo.
I remember thinking that I could give it back to the hospital.
But I wasn't sure they'd want it back....
