PIR for loft conversion only?

Danielwareham · Mar 31, 2011

Can I perform a periodic inspection report for a dodgy looking loft conversion only or does it need to be the entire property?

Yes you can complete a PIR for the one circuit. Just make sure it is clear in your report what the limitations are, i.e. the one circuit etc

agreed. i would try and talk them into a full PIR. as you say, they may have been bodging for years. btw. i can live in kentucky as i have a bath every xmas, whether i need one or not

The house had a recent i.e. 2 - 3 years rewire and on quick inspections looks a pretty professional job. The loft was done by an in-law jack of all trades and it was never signed off. Building control are happy with a PIR but I suspect the lot could be coming out!
