i hired this company off mybuilder.com, for a landlord cert, eicr. they were cheapest quote, but im getting the distinct feeling they are trying to pad it out.
i actually said to the bloke when he was here sucking his teeth, why cant the mcb for non existant cooker and shower just be disconected and if any wires going to them, cut them well back. apparrently he was happier just to fail it...
im still unclear on the watermain earth though, do you have to absolutely see the connection on the water main within ?? mm of the stopcock to "pass "?
i have to say thoughi realy apprciate all the advice and no, im not going to peru

Says it all really. Buy cheap, buy twice.they were cheapest quote,
seems strange there is no hard and fast rule on the water earth, one persons c2 is anothers c3.. can this be right?
ok, i know this is not true test but just to stir it up, ive just stuck my multimeter neg in the earth prong of a scoket and other side to kitchen tap,: 4.5 ohms, sounds pretty connected to me and imagine you too. thats what i mean, they are taking the proverbial, ok, maybe they couldnt find the bond, but thats no reason to say its not earthed when it obviously is, right?
Please stop poking things in sockets mate.ok, i know this is not true test but just to stir it up, ive just stuck my multimeter neg in the earth prong of a scoket

ok thanks brman, ill rip up the stopcock cover tomorrow
steve, youre right its rightly failed on some aspects, but wtf does high impedance on 25 on circuits 2 and 3 mean?
I have no idea what that means but why don't you ring the guy tomorrow and ask him. It could be that he had a slight brain fart.steve, youre right its rightly failed on some aspects, but wtf does high impedance on 25 on circuits 2 and 3 mean?
ok dude, chill out, its a lot of typing and i cant attach it, hang on ill make a dropbox link
Simple, you don't. You could ask him why it's a fail though. Seriously, just ring him and ask him to talk you through the report, I'm surprised he didn't do that anyway. It's something I do as a matter of course because my clients, like you, are not electricians. If they were they wouldn't need me.trev, thanks for the advice, and i know wha t you mean, but how would you suggest i tell him that a 100ms td is not a fail?
