Another word of warning. The light switch under our stairs is cracked. My son switched on the light and touched a wire and got a shock and a small burn. Could have been so much worse!

I had a report from an electrician saying the whole system was basically outdated and unsafe and was 40+ years old.

I got another sparks in who said the system is 15 years old and needs some modification. But the issues classified by the 1st sparks as C1 - ie immediately dangerous - were classified by the other one as C3 - ie, could do with upgrading.

How can that be?

Wrong size cable feeding cooker outlet
Cooker outlet with no (illegible) protection
Electrical connection in non waterproof enclosure in shower room etc
100MA RCD should be 30MA

List of 7 items - these appear to be the most serious.
