    UK Hotel / Guest House EICR

    Personally anywhere with general public involved should be a legal requirement to have a EICR! I Also think the 'competant person' should be approved with a legal body to carry one out. As you mentioned half the time EICRs are not worth the paper they are written on. We're back to the same...

    UK Hotel / Guest House EICR

    Thanks for clearing up. I agree... the current owner would more than likely pay a small charge for a peice of paper with 'LIM' written all over it like a lot we have come across! That's the other issue .. current owner is not very compliant not sure they would even allow a EICR to be carried...

    UK Hotel / Guest House EICR

    Thanks for that link Mike. Only it still doesn't state whether it's a legal requirement to have a EICR (Although ideal for the property owner) ... therefore, I assume it's not a legal requirement & doesn't fall under the new regulations?

    Cooker Cable Size / Wiring

    Thanks both for your input. Sounds daft i know but we got the feeling on the phone that the manufacturer didn't have a clue either even though they manufactured the appliance 15 years ago. From experience I've found it depends who is on the other end of the phone to whether you get the correct...

    Cooker Cable Size / Wiring

    I'm assuming the cooker is correct with specs we have been given as its over 15 years old with little information available. I agree a cooker should never exceed the maximum. The problem we have is were going on what the manufacturers have said via phone to what is their recommended...

    Cooker Cable Size / Wiring

    Hi Thanks for the reply! I agree with what you have said with cable type & size i think we stick with manufacturers guidance & agree the best way forward is with 'HO5RR-F 2.5mm2' as the manufacturers have stated (Not a 16mm2 that the cooker engineer has implied) I also agree that ferrules...

    Cooker Cable Size / Wiring

    Hi All Just looking for a 2nd opinion on cable sizing / breaker for a old cooker. The customer has had a 'Cooker Engineer' out to advise that the cooker needs to be wired in 16mm cable to a cooker switch which is currently unused. The current setup is a 2.5mm HR flex on a plug top with a 13...
