    Get test record sheets and a cert that should cover a lot of the problems, still worried after that then get someone in to do a periodic inspection. Would give a fair degree of confidence in the installation, not a lot more you can do short of a rewire.

    Visual will tell you a lot quickly

    Take the cover off the distribution board and see what it's like

    Check a few outlets see what they're like


    Joins with no boxes doesn't sound great, might be downlights but still

    Good enough for the Irish.

    What we call standard I'd say is broken.

    Spare me the excuses and BS cold water is coming outtov the red tap...that's not right! I'm too busy finishing insulating the house after the last fellar said it was good enough, to do anything about it right now. :rolleyes:


    As regards the original problem. Let the original installer fix his work. Don't pay him anything else. Get a professional to fix it after his fixes and send him the bill.

    just a follow up question.

    In a cert 3, which the electrician will be issuing, he will certify all the circuitry from the new extension.

    What is required of him in relation to the altered circuits in the original house - the original house was reconfigured, so there was a good bit of wiring to be done but he didn’t redo circuits for the like of lights that were moved.

    The Cert 3 should cover any alterations also.
    Ask for a copy of the test records from him too.
