5 flats....1 EICR??

[LlandrilloSpark]

Evening fella's, I'm doing a building tomorrow which contains 5 one bed flats, the building is number 1 on the street, would one EICR surfice, defects could be split into the different flats , or should I do 5 EICR's!

 

[trev]

Probably one might be acceptable but I think I would do individual ones for each flat + 1 for communal areas

 

[Steve_P]

:iagree: with Trev

 

[Strima]

If each flat has it's own CU/DB then it's individual ones. If it's one covering the whole lot then one EICR should cover it.

:iagree: with Steve and Strima

Bit different but I've just done an office block, all one company. 4 floors each with own meter plus meter for landlord/communal. i did 5 individual reports.

Do eicr for each board could be a good earner

 

[brucelee]

yes mate 1 for landlords supply and communal areas and 1 for each flat if they are seperate which i presume they are with there own metering equipment

If they have their own supply or split supply (service block after meter) they are considered as a separate installation and need their own eicr, if there are more than one cu but they are supplied from a cu on the same supply further up the system then you can use continuation sheets for the same eicr,

with a it's own supply you will have a different ze pfc and possibly tails, earth and bonding sizes and main switch, all which have their own condition report on the last few pages of the report


Loadsa paperwork!!!!

Loads a Money too lol

 

[FatBob]

Letting agents require an EICR for every flat to let, and common areas and Landlord supplies are separate.

Building turned out to be 3 phase , 5 flats and a communal hallway, some flats had 2 CU 's because of the add ons, in total there was 11 CCU's! Covering the 6 reports that need doing, plenty of issues as you would expect.

I inspected 50% of all accessories, IR to earth all circuits in parallel, R2, ZS and RCD where required

Out of interest what would you charge

 

[Welchyboy]

My charges have had to go up just cause of the extra paperwork, takes ages, how big is each flat

 

[LlandrilloSpark]

1 bed, one bath, 1 lounge each

one supply = one pir imo
