WHO..carries out what if any certification when you do works in your own house?

Do you carry out a PIR every 10 years etc etc?

BE HONEST

 

[Spudnik]

Nope...

 

[sparks1234]

Nope...

I got to admit Jason, I had you down as a yes

If you think about it your own house is under contol of a skilled person, yourself

If the quality and frequency of your maintenance is satifactory, just have a little chat with youself every once in a while about the extent and limitations of any testing and inspection you eventually deem necessary......



Maybe after a beer or two...

[Spudnik]

I got to admit Jason, I had you down as a yes

Only because my house is just under 10 years old and i havent needed to alter anything......yet.

Several PIR's done as practice for my 2391. Loads of horrors found, Zs's off the scale, no earth in the out buildings, broken ring(loose wiring), spurs off spurs and the list goes on..................Last place I had, the 7.5Kw shower was permanently live..........feed taken from the input tails to the CU as there was no available ways!!!!!!!

With my brothers grim kids and moaning mrs i cant remember what day of the week it is let alown PIR's

 

[Des 56]

Mine is old mk Sentry board with 100m/amp rcd for the whole installation
Haven't managed to kill the mrs yet , maybe I should remove that trip,perhaps that will do the trick

My installation is not in such a good state I'm sorry to admit
My excuse is all my efforts go towards the other guys install and there's no motivation left for my own

 

[Sintra]

Yes unfortunately i had the pleasure of doing a full PIR on my own house a few years ago as i was thinking of selling.

Even installed 2 new con units to do away with re-wirables ended up a waste of time as i didn't move.

Good thing is got a PIR valid for another 6 years.
