All cables same size throughout. No ring circuits, only radials, cpc not connected etc etc. Company who did the EICR also did the Gas Safe and Legionella testing.

Definitely no ring finals? Daz

Landlord had a satisfactory EICR carried out the week before I went to install a fire alarm. Nuf said

Well, that was money well spent (sarcasm alert).
No codes at all?

Must have been a drive-by EICR.

Nope. My son and I tested all the circuits, sleeved the earths and wrote a report for the landlord. Only cost us an hour and a half. On quizzing the landlord I established that building renovation work was carried out by an Eastern European travelling circus

Has it all been fully rewired or have the circuits all been extended, hence the blue brown? Just wandering why there is no RCD protection on the board.

Got asked to reconnect an outbuilding that the previous owners has disconnected from the house. No problem, new swa to the outbuilding and garage C/U fitted but had to laugh when I saw the existing set up. Apparently it was disconnected to get a satisfactory EICR for the house sale rather than fix the many faults.

That's gonna take some sorting out Daz

Fuseboard had signs of burning inside and the main cable was burnt near the end and at some point I guess the original main switch burnt out and somebody changed the switch and stuck the cable back in. Luckily the property was getting a full rewire so it was all ripped out.

Working on my mastery of the bleeding obvious - I go for 132.11 Prevention of mutual detrimental influence, so water and leccie should not be in same confinement. And since water pipe might leak, IP rating not sufficient. Thoughts?
