Some supplies in UK get higher too (mine regularly gets to 258v!)

In that case, call out the REC, and start filling in small claims forms

Mine hovers at 250 to 253 but has lots of spikes to 258. The REC says not a
problem as 95% of the time it is below 253...

What fatuous spin!
It should be 230V +/- 10% if it goes over that or under than then they are
failing.
