    EICR test failed due to no RCD on smoke detector, lighting, door bell, security alarm

The engineer was in my flat for less than 10 mins, he was asking me irrelevant questions as in whether I am renting and that is interested to rent. In the end he said everything looks fine and will get the report in 24 hours. The report...

    Motor cap failed again

    I have a pressure washer that I got as part of "a good deal", actually an exceedingly good deal as I later found out. I've had it a while, I guess probably at least 25 years, but it doesn't get used all that often. Hard to say, but I reckon I've probably not done 200 hours with it in that time -...

    Many years ago I fitted some RCD socket outlets to my parents home for the two likely to be used outside, the front hall and the kitchen one next to the window.

    Two NICEIC installers failed to spot the lack of earth

    Agent contacts me with an urgent request for a CU upgrade in Camden. They send over an EICR done the previous month and I have a quick skim.
