Pyro Cabling?

[Snapester]

Hi guys, i did some work on a flat just over a year ago and tested and did a PIR which i passed as good condition after the remedial work!
Tenants in the flat having issue with cooker circuit in which the property maintenance guy came to have a look at, to which he said needs a full rewire and pyro should not be used anymore! Go figure do any other sparky folk feel this way? I believe Pyro is one of the most bullet proof installations available?
Cheers

What reasons did he give for this ?

He's talking rubbish. Swear by MICC, as will many others on here.

As long as the pyro is in good condition, which you must think it is if you've given a satisfactory PIR, then theres no need to change IMO. It will prob out last most pvc installs.

He’s talking out of his nether regions. Pyro will see most of us in our graves.

It’s only down fall is incorrectly sealed pots and that shows up quickly. If the place was wired originally in pyro it’s well passed that problem period.

Well that 9-0 for Pyro so far.

Seen pyro's in old boiler houses, unsheathed and GREEN, and not with envy. Still tested perfect. Also seen buildings completely gutted with fire....pyro's still hanging intact. How can anyone say it shouldn't be used. :icon13:

I got called out for this before,

Well it is only 2 core so there's no earth is there lol

The plasterer told the client to get a Spark in, as there was no earths on the sockets, and it was dangerous, lol

edit: I did add some pigtails from the Socket fronts to the backbox
