Hi all, new to this forum and am completely clueless with all things electrical - hoping to get some advise!
My parents received an unsatisfactory EICR on their home recently (it's quite old) and were quoted £3500 upgrading their distribution board to a new metal one with RCBOs. The electrician...
Been informed my core domestic electrical installation cert is now not valid for me to be insured for EICR certification even though I have a 2391 certificate
Anyone encountered this?
Afternoon,
I have just had EICR tests done on two of my rental properties, with another two properties still to be tested.
The electrician has sent me ( e-mailed ) the two certificates for the completed jobs .
Is e-mail acceptable or should I get paper copies ?
All pages of the report have...
Hi all, we got an EICR report done before tenanting our previous home having become "accidental landlords". See attached.
The report came back with some C2 and some C3 codes. I requested quotes from the management company but, perhaps due to lockdown etc, the work was never actioned.
Now the...
Hello
I live in a rental in scotland and have recently had an EICR carried out. I have an old fuse wire fuse board on a wooden plate with no rcd or breakers, I had assumed this would be a C1 or C2 but this came back as a C3. Surely this is incorrect if the plastic fuse boards are C3s surely no...

New to this forum. Just received the first EICR report which is unsatisfactory (C2 and FI issues below). The electrician quoted for another £300 for remedial work. Is this reasonable charge, or shall I get another quote?
Thank you in advance for advice.
my company has just had a few EICR's on their flats carried out, a few c1's and 2's missing blanks on front of cu, top of cu not to IP standard. mcbs not rated properly. The company are withholding the certs until the work is carried out.
Am I right in saying we are under no obligation to have...
Came across this on an EICR and was wondering how everyone else would code it. Basically there’s a sangamo time clock that controls a contactor which switches a 3 phase DB for storage heaters, strange set up in a flat. So you’ve basically got 6mm cables in this sangamo time clock that are...

I had the first EICR done on my flat last week, which failed with some C2s for having an older (2001) plastic consumer unit with no RCDs, but otherwise passed:
A couple of days later I'm called to the property due to no hot water and find the electric boiler is dead. There's a connector block...
Hello everyone,
Need some advices to be fair. How do you charge for remedial works after an EICR did not pass? Are you charging on a daily rate?
Thank you

I am a tenant. We recently had an EICR done which has come back as Unsatisfactory with numerous C2 issues. However, our landlords agent has stated that they aren’t actually C2 issues so don’t require any work doing. Apparently in accordance with the Best Practice Guide 4 they believe they can...
