I was doing an EICR yesterday and all was going well. I'd decided to inspect behind all the accessories cos the first couple I looked at were a right mess. I had found spurs off spurs and suspected there was a hidden JB behind kitchen unit, was easy enough to take unit down, so I did. Could I...
Hi everyone, been thinking of putting together a spreadsheet or list of the most common faults found doing EICR's. I was going to start with the ESC best practice guide, now I know a lot of this may be objective to the individual but has anyone started anything like this ? Maybe it's something...
