    EICR test results

    I have reason to doubt that any inspection or testing was done before an EICR was issued. The test results on the EICR are identical to those on an EIC issued a year previously. Is this likely, or would you expect some values to differ slightly? Many thanks.

    EICR Certs - NICEIC registration

    Hi, Private landlord here. Like seemingly a lot of people. I thought electricians had to be registered with NICEIC or NAPIT in order to carry out an EICR test on a property. Except actually I've just learned they dont actually have to be. (thats correct right?). However, if they then say the...

    When to have EICR done?

    Hi, non-electrian here. Just bought a 50's house with old electrics. I expect everything will need replacing eventually, but I can't afford to have it all done at once. I imagine it's best to start at the supply and work out from there, so I think the priority is a new consumer unit - it's got...

    Unsatisfactory EICR - No RCD Protection

The flat block was built in 1930 (Art deco) and it was refurbished in 2010 ( I suppose some rewiring was done) Contacted the inspector who charged 104 pounds for one bed in London and the report comes back unsatisfactory mainly...

    Failed EICR Query

    Hello all, hoping for a little advice from you kind people :-) My friend has been told to change consumer unit by the people who did the EICR, at a cost of £600, which i think sounds excessive. It seems to only need a new RCBO and blanking plate(s) fitted? I guess a photo of the existing unit...

    EICR test results schedule

    This is slightly pedantic, so right up my street. I'm filling out an EICR. The sockets are wired in 2.5 (apart from some in the kitchen that have been wired in 1mm 3 core and earth. Don't ask...) with a 30 amp 3036 as ocpd. Forgetting the obvious C2's, the question I have is regarding the...

    More EICR coding questions.

    My wife is on the committee of the local village, and they have just had an EICR carried out. This came out as 'unsatisfactory' and accompanied by a quote for remedials totalling well north of £9000, although this does include a fire alarm system (which, AFAIK, no one has suggested is...

    Another EICR coding question

    Yesterday's EICR. The cut out and meter are in a damp cellar, and are fixed to a chipboard board on the wall. The chipboard has slowly rotted over the years, you now can push a pencil through it in places. The rather rusty fixings have pulled through it, so the board and everything fixed to...
