EICR - Somebody is setting the bar low.....

[Lazlo]

Just been sent this by a customer who was charged £250 for an EICR for a property they are thinking of buying.....The customer didn't understand it and wanted a second opinion.

Interesting......I wonder if the electrician's professional indemnity insurance is up to date.......

I think the person who filled out this report set out to take the pee as what's the chance the report number being 12345

No todger pulling (not really into that), this is genuine. Just invoiced my time for reviewing it to client's parents who contacted me in the first place. They originally asked me to look at it and estimate ball park figures to have any remedial works carried out and if the place needed rewiring etc, just a rough idea based on the EICR and some estate agent photos. Her daughter is buying the property and was advised to have an EICR carried out so she knew what she was getting into. I did start to laugh as I looked at the first page...what a corker!

Taking the pee is that they were charged £250 for it! The EICR not my reviewing time!

I'm going to say it ... even a Electrical Trainee id expect better from. Like tel said, its actually the worst I've ever seen - thats why i presumed someone may be just having a laugh. I hope you've told the company to contact him so they can sack him. Its so bad its actually funny...not funny for the client obviously.

... a monkey with a random number generator would have been more helpful!

Rightio | Home and Business Repairs

They claim to be 'Authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority', a little strange for a company who deliver electrical, plumbing or other property maintenance services ... not according to the FCA apparently. It seems like the financial world is as full of people making profit out of the regulation of services as the world of electrical installation! Are they as 'toothless' I wonder.

RIGHTIO began because we were tired of hearing about bad practices in the industry, and wanted to set up a company that sets a new standard. A company that does things right. This is an industry where others cut corners. We don't. Ever.

This may genuinely be one of the funniest things i've ever read. Someone needs to have a look at themselves.

Someone's having one here... think I've read through that about 5 times now and surely... SURELY this can't be legit? If it is I think it must have been passed to an office junior to type up but I'm sceptical, Surely no-one's this daft???

Pure brilliance. It's the electricians equivalent of Monty Python. 60898....3871.....3036......nope, none of them it's a >200 OCPD....wtf and then some!!

Despite the ridiculously harsh codings the wording sounds like someone that understands.
I reckon the person who typed this up is not very good with computers.

Didn't spot the 25 poles. Brilliant!

Cct 8 appears likely to be a lighting cct due to cable size. But then it's had r1rN done on it. Why......because of open CPC on same cct....who knows!

I am going to print this when I get a chance and have a proper chuckle.
