    BEAMA Calls For EICRs To Be Done In UK Residential Buildings Every 5 Years

I particularly like the proposal that an EICR be compulsory whenever there is a change of occupancy...

    Looped Supplys...Black flat T&E..............

    Been asked to advise on a rewire. I think on age alone it's advisable but the following points add to the argument. Installation age approx 60 years. This is a "forever Home" so although it may test ok how long will it stay so? Black T&E throughout. Not a reason to condemn alone but adds to...
