Electrical installation condition reports.

[davek]

Hi all
I have been doing a few minor works, for a letting agency, until my part p assessment comes around I have been asked if I can do a electrical installation report, the house in question is an old terrace with 3 circuit rewire able fuse box with three fuse cooker lights power single red for lighting, hence I raised the issues on condition. do I need a specific qualification I have 2392,my 17th 2330level 2 and m part p certificates. also what is the average cost of these.
regards
Dave

I would say it depends on your experience, qulifications don't mean a lot if you carnt apply the theory in field. But if you think your competent to judge if the installation is safe for continued use go ahead.

As stated if you are competent, and they are safe for continued use. You could advise the be boards be upgraded.

How many years experience do you have installing and testing electrical installations?

Have you actually done a proper inspection on the installation? or simply a visual?

I have 2392,my 17th 2330 level 2 and m part p certificates.

Didn't know that the 2330 was a level 2. C&G 2330 is level 3!! The only people that have this pointless certificate are electrical trainee's and the like.


I'm leaning towards the latter from the content of your posts on this thread.....
