Evening all,
I found my first ever split concentric cable today. Running from an isolator up and into a flat. I was doing an EICR.
I could not verify where the cable is within the fabric of the building.
I failed the EICR on the grounds that the cable has no mechanical protection, no RCD...

Hey all,
Could do with some help.
I had a company recommended to me who quoted me to do an EICR on my rental property. (£265). I thought this was quite expensive but as I've been messed around no end by tradesmen I thought I'd go with the recommendation and pay the extra.
I also asked him to...

Hi all, have just ordered my first EICR ever for a studio to 1-bed conversion flat in London. It cost a little less than £80 and the electrician had great reviews on the site I booked him on. It came back with 4x C2 and 1x C3, all related to RCD. The summary was unsatisfactory with comment "No...

Been asked to do remedials on holiday cottages after recent EICR.
Modern consumer units, MK Sentry, but no RCD protection on anything.
Bit of a brain fog moment, but what would the rest of you do in adding RCD protection? Which circuits? Just to swap MCB for RCBO
Both cottages are identical...

Hi guys got a question to ask:

Hi all, is it acceptable or was it in previous regs if not anymore? To take the gas bond straight off the TNS connection shared with main Earth? See pic.
Thanks

The buyer of my house has had an EICR done. I have anonymized and attached. Also the associated quote for remediation.
I am wondering:
surely the smoke detectors are nothing to do with it (plus, this is not a rental property anyway)
it's not clear to me why the CU has to be replaced
a lot of...
