Can I re-wire my property with minimum disruption and money?
Hello. We completed the refurbishment of our new home 15 months ago including some new circuits and all new electrical plugs, and light switches. It is ex-council property. We just found out that the electrical system is unsafe and could cause electrocution as there is no earthing in some of the circuits. We have now run out of time and money to do a new wired system and are wondering what direction to take. I am pretty nervous to live in the property considering we have a 5yo daughter. What alternative options could I consider?

earthing a grid plate on a modular light switch
I am currently replacing a 2 gang light switch in my hall with a 3 gang modular switch. i.e. there are 3 separate switch modules which are mounted on a metal grid plate, which is then fixed to the back box and then a face plate fitted over the front. The instructions are minimal (no wiring diagrams are given) but they say the metal grid plate which the switch modules are mounted on must be earthed using the earth terminal on it. Is the grid plate earthed by connecting a yellow/green sheathed wire from the grid plate terminal to the earth terminal on the back box? This gives 4 earth connections to the back box, 1 from the grid + 3 from the incoming switch cables?
