Does anybody know if there is a product you can buy new that can replace the original mechanisms in switches like the early crabtree and Britmac ones? I have several where the cast housing is perfect but the switch itself needs replacing!

£560 plus P&P.
I will put it on ebay next week...
Hi,
I'm just completing works which included replacing the CU.
Therefore I'm providing an EIC for the complete installation.
Does the client still need an EICR? (they may be letting out the flat)
The EIC obviously contains all the test results you would find in an EICR, probably more allowing...
Is it just me or is it taking 4 times as long to complete the new EICR. I inspected an office and workshop with 2 CUs and therefore using the multiple boards cert...its a joke. Doing it through Amtech probably isnt helping, but i'm thinking of putting the cost up! I can just about understand...
