Rewiring

[nick182]

He inspected it and he has had electricians to inspect it but I'm getting everything second hand from him and none of it that clear, honestly. He tells me I need a 10 way consumer unit with 17 double sockets to replace what I have.

sounds like he's starting to take advantage of you. Id seek out a second opinion from ur own electrician and speaking from previous experience dont let them do more than what u have asked them to do.

Funny how the wiring is now ok, once you started asking educated questions. It may be that it does need looking at, so as many others have said, get an independent opinion.
