The OP does suggest that a CU change will be part of the job ....

so its an EICR and a EIC ........ and depending on how you approach it, maybe another EICR..............

Job's not done until the paperwork is finished, as an ex Civil Servant I should know.

When you say the board defiantly needs changing do you mean it is going to resist your changing it?

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

Seems like he has been asked to do an EICR and from some pics he has jumped onto a board change before he has left the house.

At the end of the day, you have been asked to complete a report.

I would carry out the EICR and list any remedial work. You then quote separately for that work.

You will still have all the test results and inspection details so the second cert (EIC) will be a doddle if you change the C.U

Talk to the customer and discuss the options. If the customer doesn't want to see any codes on the report then suggest you do the eicr, do the remidial work which might include the board change, issue EICR with no codes as remedial work has been completed and an EIC/minor works for any work that you've carried out.

In such cases , and if I'm happy to go ahead with the change I do the EIC for the cu change then my software allows me

Thank you Murdoch, could I ask what software do you use?

The landlord is currently asking you to do an EICR and as of yet not change the board, you are deciding a board change from some pictures is this correct?

The landlord has asked for a board change and an EICR which is putting the cart before the horse.
The board will need changing as they want circuit modifications to be made on an old 3036 board.
My thinking is an EICR first which will also act as a survey to compliment the board change, that way earthing,bonding & IR (LN-E) can be checked.
what you think westward?

And thats a rental property ............................ looks more like a shed!

So a CU change, remedials and an EICR ....................... kerching!

To be fair as we have to check everything we put back into service is safe to do so you are effectively doing an EICR anyway are you not? and then if your with NAPIT an EISR form aswell

........ or not lmao

Agreed I would carry out a full EICR first.
