I've heard somewhere, possibly on here that at some point a annual ECIR on rental properties will be required.
Is this actually happening? If so can anyone point me to official docs
many thanks
Please post your comments on here - state if you think EICRs should be done every year or 5 years.
Also please state your reason behind your choice - please don't put money!, profit for us, cost to landlords etc!
I will put this forward to Parliament in favor of which one is considered best by...
Guys what is the definition for PAT testing in a rental property with regards to stationary equipment table 7.1 in the COP does not mention this ? i am looking for the time interval between testing and would be much obliged if you could put me right.
I have been in contact with my local AM about the need for a legal requirement for all rental properties to contain RCDs to protect against electric shock, she fully agrees with myself that this is a requirement which needs to be brought inline with the requirements that are imposed with Gas...
Hi,
What qualifications are required to carry out the installation of a cooker and re-wiring a room in a commercial property? Is a 17th edition the bare minimum that's required or should I be asking for more? The reason I ask is I've been asked to source an electrician to carry out this work...
As the title states, I need info on building regs in rental properties. Everybody seems to be pretty clued up around here, so thought I'd give it a shot and asked you guys.
Perhaps there is a link and the regs are online somewhere, but I've tried Google and I seem to be unable to find any...
We have a client who has just had an Display Energy Certificate completed for a community building. I am about to advise that it should have been an Energy Performance Certificate for Feed in Tariff purposes. Is that right or can business and community centres use a Display Energy Certificates...
I am looking for the new EPC Guidelines that have been published in regards to Solar PV
I have a few commercial jobs to price and would like to know if they are included in the guidelines or is it just domestic properties? I suspect not.

One of my regular Customers: a landlord, has had a letter today from his LA, stating that he must have RCDs in all his Rental houses.
Very limited information received, but I am waiting for a copy of said letter.
What I am wondering is is there a legal requirement to have RCDs installed into...
Customer wants to put 2 x 4kw arrays onto the properties he owns next to his business as they have the perfect roofs.
He has a large electric demand so needs to plug into the business supply and get everything available. Apart from balancing the loads over 3 phase and accepting that it would be...
Hi All,
Been to look at a job, where customer wants to install 9.5kw shower. 3 Bed 2 storey flat.
Calculating the load on board at present with diversity comes out at 68.8A, if the shower was added calculations came to 94.6A.
Looking in the meter cupboard, the supply splits to 2 meters after...
Hi all,
I've been asked to quote for a system where the array will span the whole roof space of 2 semi detached properties. The same guy owns both properties and rents out next door so he owns both roofs. All the electricity generated will be fed in to the house he lives in. The guy says he has...

I've been asked to re-wire a building that is a flat above a shop. the new owner wants to turn it into a lock-up shop and have the flat seperate. There is currently 2 old cu's which...
Should a law be passed that all killer ASBESTOS be stripped out of all UK RESEDENTDIAL property, so once and for all there is zero risk to tradesman & homeowners. I raise these concerns, because Artex painted walls/ ceilings containing ASBESTOS are regularlly skimmed over to achieve the current...

Hi all. I have ben asked to quote on a job for a local car sales garage. They have 12 lighting columns and want a PIR fitted on each. Do they need any certification after completion of the work as it is a commercial property? Thanks in advance.
Hi All,
I’ve been asked to do a PIR on a house that has been converted to 3 bedsits. I’ve only ever done PIRs on regular domestic premises before, not residential.
I know for a fact that it’s got a fire alarm system. I have seen on another older thread that my PIR should only cover the...
I have been asked to price the periodic testing of local council properties, such as libraries, schools etc.
The only information I have been given is the size of the buildings, for example 145 sq/mtr. I have got to submit a price for testing each sq.mtr so if I charged £1 per mtr the full cost...
Does anyone know, would you need to have professional indemnity insurance for doing a PIR on someones house that they live in themselves? From what I can tell, PI is there to protect you against a business claiming loss of money due to you advising them badly, surely this makes it redundant when...
