    Landlord - EICR 'unsatisfactory'

    Yes I agree that there are many quick reports carried out for quick cash by some cowboys but I do like to upgrade consumer units I’m not just saying plastic ones but consumer units with no rcd protection and the undersized main earth and bonding conductors. They are the most common reasons for...

    Landlord - EICR 'unsatisfactory'

    This is always my point, I don’t blame the landlord for asking for a 2nd opinion but why has it taken it to become law to have an up to date EICR for the landlords to see if the property is up to the required standards. Electrics are neglected untill things go wrong and that should not be the...

    UK RCD Tripping

    I had a similar problem couple of years ago. RCD2 was tripping whenever any load was put on kitchen ring baffled me. I carried out insulation resistance test and found that the fault was on the downstairs lights which was on RCD1 screw touching neutral in living room light. It was also a Hager...

    Maintaining top entry fire rating/IP rating

    Is a nightmare these supplies as a way of caution ive run a seperate 16mm earth to each flat on my previous jobs and ensured the pyro cable is glanded correctly to achieve suitable earthing. The responses I got a few years ago made me run seperate earth whilst upgrading kitchens and consumer units

    Maintaining top entry fire rating/IP rating

    The copper pipe you mention is in fact an MICC (pyro) it needs to be glanded properly to your metal consumer unit to achieve a suitable earth. I would imagine that the main service head (cut out) is a fair distance away and not local. Are you working in a block of flats or a big communal...

    Can anyone answer what happens with Eicr reports done after the deadline 1st April

    In general terms most landlords already have a trusted electrician/tradesman who has carried out work for them over the past few years so I don’t see it as being a “minefield” unless you’ve been fortunate enough to have no maintenance work required or unless you’ve had “DIY DAVE” to do the...

    Can anyone answer what happens with Eicr reports done after the deadline 1st April

    Yes my mistake I mean a very small percentage of private landlords. Also on the flip side landlords have to deal with unreliable, incompetent, overpriced electricians so I see it from their side also. Although it’s a good thing in my opinion that properties are required to have an EICR carried...

    Can anyone answer what happens with Eicr reports done after the deadline 1st April

    The sad thing is that most private landlords have avoided and neglected the condition of the electrics in their properties up untill this point where it has become law. I’m not pointing the finger at all but is awful to see that they will now panic when in reality the state of the properties...

    RCD tripping overnight with nothing connected

    Wait there I’ve just looked back they are all new colours and has plenty of cable length to terminate just makes it even worse. Wow that is dog rough.

    RCD tripping overnight with nothing connected

    That consumer unit is awful, as soon as you take the cover off and see the mess like that alarm bells start ringing. I understand when cables are short and need to be crimped doesn’t help the matter but that is shocking no effort whatsoever on there

    Economy 7 supply

    Yes good point there, dual tariff electric is a minefield and from my experience even the energy suppliers are not too clued up I learnt on the job and spent countless hours fault finding so many different set ups and permutations just got to work through it methodically

    Economy 7 supply

    Looking at this it is hard to tell and not the conventional way of economy 7 this seems like the DNO has connected the meter tails. I installed hundreds of heaters and on rare few occasions customer had issues with electric bills not being on dual tariff due to energy supplier mishaps. Easiest...
