NICEIC were spoken to by client as as expected there is no need for RCD when just changing plates..
Pushing new CU with RCD with the reason being "It's Illegal" is total bull. Job creation by a so called sparks who won't give reg no. Until he starts the work ........and he came recommended by estate agent!!

Ah those pillars of society.

"And this is the erm (opens door and looks surprised) ah, it's the kitchen".

Wow! How many years training did that take?
