OK point taken. However my point is some electricians are more worried about regulations to others, remember regulations are not law, in an ideal world one could fit a DB with say a 45 amp MCB and have it feed a second DB (distribution board) but to do that one needs the 45 amp MCB, I assume since some one has done the botch, that you can't get MCB's for that board?Someone has found something that doesn't fit the board!
Yes know the problem, I wanted to rewire mothers house, and time was more important as rest bite homes are expensive, so had to get it done and dusted while she was in a home for medical reasons.Unfortunately, they both have dementia
However for small faults the council was very helpful, they had a group called care and repair, and for small issues they would come and sort things either free or low charge, would not do whole re-wire, but did stretch to a new kitchen. In the main they do things like fitting hand rails.
At 73 they have fitted hand rails for me, it seems there is a cost limit per year, so it is limited, but you need to get a social worker assigned so they can assist with problems like this.
I live in Wales, but seems England has some thing similar. I have also been helped by Age Cymru Powys, again some free stuff, and some low charge.
