nic assesment....helpppp!!! pls

[pushrod]

i checked every accessible point, no loose connection or earth sleeving. gf has continuity, only upstairs not continous. back boxes are metal with plastic screw lugs if u know wat i mean.

will the assessor see this as a big issue?

.

So are you saying that all the lights are on one circuit and that there is a cpc at the CU but no continuity once you get upstairs? Or are you saying the upstairs has been wired in 2 core that does not have a cpc as was done for 13th(?) edition.

If it is the first case then this problem should really be dealt with before you change the CU and doesn't look good at all and very bad if there are class 1 fittings being used. If it is the second not so much of a problem as long as there are no class 1 fittings anywhere on the circuit and you are recommending a rewire.

If there is an earth at the lights and switches start testing cont of earth in between all the lights and switches and board and you will then narrow down which leg of the circuit has the break, then try to put in a new leg or earth. Its obvious the break is in the first leg from the board you just need to figure out where the first leg goes and are there any other breaks.

back boxes with plastic lugs were used when the lighting was wired in twin with no cpc. if you now have T/E then it's been rewired at some time. obviously the cpc is not continuous. get a long fly lead and measure from CU the nearest light ( or switch ) and go from there till you find the breaK.
