ok, i know what some of you are saying. new CU and rewire, maby a new CU sometime but as for rewire, not now, money right now is very thight. however the sockets iv been swapping are cause they have been damaged, as in cracked by furniture, vac... and thanks again to the people who answerd my origionl question about the style of wiring. Thanks.
 
Without regular testing you can not be sure that there are definetly no exisiting faults, over the years various extra work may be carried out, everything will work and everything will seem ok. Can you be sure for example that the earth on your power circuits are continuous. Some sockets potentially may not be earthed but will work fine, what would happen if you pluged a metal toaster or hoover into this socket and that appliance had a live to earth fault. You can only be sure that everything is safe by testing after each addition. The question i should be asking is have you got test results from when the additions were carried out, if you havent it would be worth getting some tests done now and not waiting untill there is an accident.

And metal backboxes partly full of pink plaster smacks of lazy DIYers, or equally lazy professional sparkies.
