Of course you could always switch off all the MCB and switch on one by one and you can narrow down which circuit is (apparently See post above) causing the trip. A lot less dangerous.
Thinking about it, first the cable will not be running inside the cavity wall. The most likely route is from the meters through the wall and then upstairs for all supply cables. It would be the most efficient route to all the four flats. It would be the easiest way to install the cables for a...
I mean you can test the other end of the cable to see which flat it is in. I am sure the Landlord of the other flats would co-operate in such a case as would the tenants if they understood what is at stake. It is confusing as you show the route of the tap cable in red and say it was on the...
I have watched the video. No the EICR will not discover the tap as under floor boards does not get looked into in an EICR. I live in the South West so can't help but it is the sort of job that is right up my street. I find it hard to beleive that someone could get under the floorboards and tap...
Looking at your pics I am not sure that the cables supplying the MEM boxes above are double insulated (they should be) and the size of them looks too small. Also the boxes are showing signs of rusting and are not suitable for the environment they are placed in. But I am sure an EICR will bring...
I have insufficient priveleges to post in the other post on the same subject so can obly post here. If you are a private landlord you are required by law to have an EICR done for any flat/house you rent. Failure to do so may leave you open to prosecution under the ESPRS regulations which came in...
I cant quite see what there is to solve. Surely you just follow where the wire/supply goes to then you have the answer? If you have removed the cable then what evidence do you have now? Oh and yes, good question @DPG, when was the last EICR? If the police will not investigate raise a complaint...
When I was doing my portfolio it was not enough to just have photos etc. of you doing the work, you had to have it signed off by a competent person who fills in a form for the portfolio with relevant credentials. It was acceptable for that person to be a customer as well!
I just bought the special offer Milwaukee from screwfix, the trolley and the big box and one slim one for 219 squids. Then I bought one more slim one and two trays. It is perfect. It has revolutionised tool carrying as I can move all I need in one trip to site instead of carrying loads of boxes...
Hmmmm, figured it out. You have to rename the extension from .pdf to .zip then you can open the zip file and access the pdf documents. NAPIT should have sorted this one out!
I have paid to access the BSI docs on the NAPIT (£90 p.a.) They have a zip file 230mb that is full of PDF files. I cannot access it. I have tried unzipping it and looking with Adobe to no avail. I have contacted NAPIT who are no help. Has anyone solved this enigma?
Hi @RDB85 I have already paid for it, sorry. It is allegedly being delivered via couriers as we speak I hope.
I pm'd you @LewisM re B. Geting some tangled wires re delivery. You might be able to clarify???
Got someone I need to supply an MFT to and need to buy it for them. ANy offers looked at. Needs to be calibrated. Uses will be for testing installed circuits mostly. Megger ideally. Please if you can help pm me.
I have had an assessment appointment in March cancelled and moved to April. They told me that as the assessor is now doing three assessments per day my assessment will be a shortened version! I wonder if they note your competence when they first see you and accept that you really are OK and the...
I ask about the CPS they are with because sometimes they hold a copy of certificates and it may be worth getting in touch with them to see if they hold a copy. I find it hard to beleive a company big enough to have a server does not have cloud back up! I am a sole trader and I have cloud back...
