went back today to find several problems.
they had indeed just had their board changed had wasn't fully tested.
i found N-E fault on to landing sockets, so when something was being pluged in and switched on, trip goes the rcd.(someone had changed the sockets to chrome ones(and didnt do a good job of it)
also found a socket in the loft tapped off the upstairs lighting circuit with a table lamp pluged in wired wrong causing the 230v on the neutral.
I took the socket out,removed the 1.5 t+e feeding it and wired in new light in loft from upstairs lights. all is good now.thanks for you kind help guys
although i was right with my first thoughts
