Hi all,

Just updating. New sparks came in today. Ripped it out and started again.

Also added a new isolation switch and SPD on the feed into the armoured cable near the meter coming in.

Back tomorrow to finish off. Thanks again for all the advice. Been a £1100 lesson but I appreciate all the feedback from you all.

Cheers.

Update:

Unfortunately they couldn't finish all the testing as a fair few junction boxes in attic still need finishing and boxing off but they tested what they can and everything has passed except lighting (due to attic work required) and kitchen sockets due to an "earth continuity fault". They asked for the other guy to finish the JBs in the attic and fix the earth fault and they'll return next week to finish up and test the rest as they are working away from tomorrow.

Here are a few of the latest pics.

The before and afters are amazing when I look at them side by side!
