House electrics in need of condemning

[ste_miller21]

Ive been asked to look at the electrics in a house, I haven’t tested yet only had a quick look. Just off a visual inspection I came across:

1. No RCD
2. No bonding on gas/ water
3. No equipotent bonding
4. No CPC throughout all circuits
5. Arcing when mains is tuned off then repowered
6. Plumber had a belt off light switch
7. Old size cartridge fuse board
8. Burning on back plate of fittings.

Its clear that the electrics need to be condemned but at the moment I’m NOT part P registered I’m currently waiting for an Elecsa assessment. My main question is do you have to be registered to condemn?

answer is a big NO. you can do a PIR without being elecsa (or any other scheme) member. your best bet is to issue a danger notice.( be aware though that the lack of RCD is only a code 4.)

You could issue a Danger Notice and do not need to be part of a part P scam to do so.

Is it occupied at the moment? IR test here mate and maybe a temporary bonding for gas and water..........

luck of the draw, mate. just depends on who is reading which thread. anyway, yous all going to have a break from me from 20th as we are off to turkey for a week. ( i can hear the cheers from here)

IR the lot mate and check polarity. You could do a Ze and a Zs n all. If its an old BS3036 then the fuse carriers may only be able to stand 2kA so get a PFC n all. The bonding definitely needs sortin as its being occupied at the moment. It may just be portions of this install thats crap...you may find evidence of diy work...I dont think its a must to have an RCD board on a rented but it would be a recommendation in my eyes........

Did he mean 27 or 37 years ago??

Thats a load of ---- from him n all because if it had been rewired 7 years ago the board would/should have been upgraded at the same time......bloody liers...dont you just hate em.........
