missing neutral ring?

[zone77]

need advice please. after completeing a PIR on a domestic property, a ring circuit end to end on the neutral was open. spent most of the day searching for break and concluded it must be in a jb somewhere in a partion wall . IR readings are fine. client has a wonderfully decorated house and no way can we damage anything. would it be acceptable to downsize to 20 amp breaker( 30mA ) and noting this on the PIR?

no would be my answer to this test the ring to find which 2 sockets the fault is inbeteen then rewire inbeteen the 2 sockets the fact is there could be a fire risk which would damage the whole house not a little of the nice decor hope this helps

OR .... If you're pretty sure of where the break is, then split the ring in each socket either side of the break .... and make two radials out of the split ring.
