I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me understand the following outcomes on an EICR. I am being advised it needs a total rewire but I am a layman.
The wiring is approx 30. Years old. 4 circuits, 2 x lights, one mains (incl kitchen), one for living room.
We will be renovating the ground floor of the property including the kitchen.
Observations
