A rewarding project, for the customer and myself, completed this week of fault finding and repair to many causes of intermittent RCD tripping followed by upgrade of distribution board in this new more accessible position.
The intermittent tripping had been persistent for over 10 years.
The customer was struggling with the precarious climb up steps to the position of the old distribution board over the hallway in the dark and decided it was time to have the work done.
The RCD was the main switch so once tripped all circuits were turned off.
Full satisfaction achieved as the customer is very happy with the result.

Great result with these LED up down lights that are fitted with replaceable GU10 light bulbs.
Perfect for lighting the paths and steps plus help to locate the key slot now the darker mornings and evenings are drawing in.

This is a recent follow up of remedial works and upgrade job as the RCD, in the circled position, had failed to trip on test button press, something the home owner should test every 6 months maximum. The new RCD is a Type A replacing the Type AC faulty one. Type A is the current standard of device to use as it gives much better protection because we use so many more appliances with built in electronics. Which leads on to the addition of the SPD - Surge protection device which guards against damaging electrical surges that can destroy electronics, damage your electrical installation and the circuit protection devices on the distribution board. It's possible surges are responsible for the failure of the RCD.

Recessed downlight fittings installed in bathroom refurbishment. Can be tricky getting them positioned satisfactorily with the ceiling joists limiting options. On other jobs I've fitted them exactly where desired by installing a lowered ceiling with the structural parts in more useful positions.
