Has my UK property had its 10 year inspection performed correctly? Discussion ThreadHas my UK property had its 10 year inspection performed correctly? Electrical Advice
I have a property that was built (barn conversion) in 2008. I have the corresponding electrical inspection certificate dated 10-Jul-08, which states performed in accordance with BS7671 2001, amended to March 2004.
I since had an inspection in 2014 with no issues reported.
I have recently had an inspection and have been failed (C2 category, 5.12.1, & 2, & 3), quote…“absence of 30mA RCD protection to all circuits excluding DB1, SP12. The 30mA RCD protection was not raised on report in 2014 and should have been.”
So I have two reports that have not flagged RCD protection as a problem until the most recent, and I am now expected to pay a significant sum to correct this apparent “fail” when this is how the installation was performed and presumably signed off by a competent person, which I am obviously confused and upset about.
Questions
Thanks

Questions
- Was the installation and first inspection performed correctly in 2008?
- What documents would I need determine specification stated in the planning approval?
- If not, do I have any recourse with the builder or electrical company that did the initial installation in 2008?
- Should the most recent inspection have been flagged as “fail” based on the information provided here?
Thanks
