    EICR Communal area limitations

    An interesting view. But you are Wrong. The Regulatory Reform (fire safety) order 2005 only applies to non domestic premises. Communal areas are non domestic premises. Under long leasehold law, my flat is not rented, it is a leasehold property. The Landlord has no right to insist on an EICR, it...

    EICR Communal area limitations

    Indeed. The fact it isn't domestic means we are unable to apply the Landlords guide referenced above. As you mentioned previously, the over riding factor is the duty of care to visitors, residents, and, of course, trespassers. I think under the property RA the need for a full EICR should be...

    EICR Communal area limitations

    Indeed, good points and thankyou. I was also hoping for some legislation anybody had come across which mandated this, a good stick to wave at the others.

    EICR Communal area limitations

    Hello, Looking for a bit of guidance here. Asking from Landlords perspective. To carry out an EICR of the Landlords communal areas, would the inspector include all the sub mains to the individual (3) Flats, which originate from cupboard in the communal area? Would the inspector include fixed...

    Plastic compression glands for T&E into metal CU

    No its not. I think there is a certain amount of blindness and distraction in "being compliant" that results in the obvious being overlooked. Would any domestic scheme even examine the means of fixing a CU to a wall? I think not, hopefully they would be more interested in the installers...

    Oh dear! Is that box/rail earthed? Heat shrink held in place with tape? lol! Not even the right coloured tape. Is that main earth joined under the tape as well? Needs some grommet strip round that top as well Think you're gonna be in that place for a while if the other 89 DB's are nearly as bad...

    Oh yes, good spot sir, 2 screws at most exposed to weather side, IE top. What an odd thing to do. Maybe fitted gland fixed backbox to wall and then couldn't be bothered changing?! Lasted thirty odd years though

    I'll probably get shot down as viewing on phone but..... That looks like PVC covered Micc to me?, it has the shrouds over the glands? The black sleeving looks like the old BICC stuff 1 & 1.5mm and that looks like the seal just poking out from the box entry in the 3rd pic? The box in pic 1 is...

    Thanks for the input.... My question was to the OP - when viewing on my phone screen its rather difficult to tell, if it was more than obvious I wouldn't have asked would I. Perhaps you are easily confused? Perhaps I should just ask you in future? No worries That makes sense - I agree with...

    Very Nice. Just wondering.... Does that say armour on the sleeving of that cpc? How have you attached to armouring, is there a banjo on the outside of the enclosure? Also, where is the 2nd neutral for circuit 2 - cant see it in the bar or is it just hidden behind? Are the neutrals in ferrules...
