Customer completed own repairs after my EICR

Marcus Vaughan · Apr 18, 2018

Not a question. Just feeling annoyed and venting.

I carried out an EICR on a small domestic property, cleared a few small faults free of charge but gave an Unsatisfactory to Main Earthing and Equipotential Bonding Conductor Sizes.

Gave a low quote to put right.

He now phoned me up to say he has completed the repairs himself.

Annoying - as I will have to go over there are inspect and retest Ze and bond continuity anyway.

He must have opened up the consumer unit as well.

Grrrr!

Any thoughts welcome but I suspect I have to just suck it up (buttercup).

LOL, Tel cannot afford to go to Tesco, he shops at Lidl, that is when they let him in, 20 staff need to be in the store first, they cannot afford to lose the tills.

MDJ that's being a bit stereotypical not Tel's fault that he's a Scouser.

For a while I got my MOT done at the local bus garage because they don't do any remedial work there - I was sick of unscrupulous garages fleecing me for unnecessary work off the back of MOTs.
Likewise this customer is obviously playing it cautiously by not getting you to do the remedials you've identified.

As with an MOT the customer is going to want a satisfactory EICR and not an unsatisfactory one with a receipt to say the remedial work has been done.

Similarly the customer could get someone else in to do another EICR or you could agree to go back and do a partial retest for a reduced fee like with an MOT, but unlike an MOT you have no obligation to offer this.
