5 flats....1 EICR??

[LlandrilloSpark]

Evening fella's, I'm doing a building tomorrow which contains 5 one bed flats, the building is number 1 on the street, would one EICR surfice, defects could be split into the different flats , or should I do 5 EICR's!

 

[trev]

Probably one might be acceptable but I think I would do individual ones for each flat + 1 for communal areas

 

[Steve_P]

:iagree: with Trev

 

[Strima]

If each flat has it's own CU/DB then it's individual ones. If it's one covering the whole lot then one EICR should cover it.

 

[Sav]

:iagree: with Steve and Strima

Bit different but I've just done an office block, all one company. 4 floors each with own meter plus meter for landlord/communal. i did 5 individual reports.

 

[Farmelectrics]

Do eicr for each board could be a good earner

 

[brucelee]

yes mate 1 for landlords supply and communal areas and 1 for each flat if they are seperate which i presume they are with there own metering equipment

 

[Welchyboy]

If they have their own supply or split supply (service block after meter) they are considered as a separate installation and need their own eicr, if there are more than one cu but they are supplied from a cu on the same supply further up the system then you can use continuation sheets for the same eicr,

with a it's own supply you will have a different ze pfc and possibly tails, earth and bonding sizes and main switch, all which have their own condition report on the last few pages of the report


Loadsa paperwork!!!!

 

[Farmelectrics]

Loads a Money too lol

 

[FatBob]

Letting agents require an EICR for every flat to let, and common areas and Landlord supplies are separate.

Building turned out to be 3 phase , 5 flats and a communal hallway, some flats had 2 CU 's because of the add ons, in total there was 11 CCU's! Covering the 6 reports that need doing, plenty of issues as you would expect.

I inspected 50% of all accessories, IR to earth all circuits in parallel, R2, ZS and RCD where required

Out of interest what would you charge

 

[Welchyboy]

My charges have had to go up just cause of the extra paperwork, takes ages, how big is each flat

 

[LlandrilloSpark]

1 bed, one bath, 1 lounge each

 

[dwardy]

one supply = one pir imo

 

[Welchyboy]

1 bed, one bath, 1 lounge each

If i was competing for the work Probably £100 per flat plus £80 for landlords then would make up the rest on remedials if I could

If I knew I had the job prob around £125 per flat £100 for landlords
