Just very quickly looked and stunned

Figures are nonsense, data entered is wrong everywhere I look. He has NO understanding of what he is doing. None.
From the intake information , protective devices details and on and on .

TT system suggests the distributor will not provide the means of earthing for the consumer. By way of but one example, this can be because the distributor cannot guarantee the earth connection. This is common where the intake supply is by way of LV overhead supply which perhaps you have.
As such there is no Distributors Earthing arrangment to code against!
Does that mean i do not need an additional earthing rod? I paid good money for the EICR report.

TT Earthing is a customised solution to the location as such it would need to be looked at, measurements taken for location and more.
The TT arrangment does not have to be by way of an 'Rod' other ways can be deployed.
As such it would need to looked at on-site before anyone can comment on such.

What I am saying is his report is all wrong. There is no Distributors arrangment with TT and yet that said I would not even say with any certainty that you have a TT Earthing system at this stage based on that report.
 
First chance ive had today to have a read of the report..... and i wish i hadnt.


i dont want to make you feel any worse than you might do already.... but would you mind telling us how much you were charged, and how long it took to perform this EICR?
If not, can you DM me, and i'll share info with other staff only.

We are a forum made up of some very good professionals... some practicing, some retired, and some just respectful of the trade... Sometimes it can be grating when so called electricians come along and fleece the general public.

This report and the way this individual is operating is bothering me. (EDIT - did post anger but not quite at that point yet)
I would be happy to advise the OP should it be of help. Sir, I would second the advice to seek refundof monies paid.

However it's done, you need to have a guarantee of no sharp/unprotected edges that can damage the insulation. Personally, I'm not that impressed...
