    Haha luckily it was part of the Homeserve insurance policy so no bill! Would have to dig out paperwork if I still have it, but pretty sure there was no detail about electrical stuff, just a case of, "This is an old fusebox, you should get a new fusebox" I think.

    It was a year or two ago. I don't think it even had anything to do with the boiler, it would've been ostensibly a 'health check' or something along those lines, but the wiring wasn't tested or anything.

    that was British Gas Homeserve engineer, following a boiler repair. There seems to be nothing wrong with it, but I believe it obviously isn't up to today's standards - nothing like a bit of scaremongering to drum up business I suppose?!

    Is EIC required for this job (New CU & ring main) Electrician says no?

    T That's the thing, he is registered with NAPIT so I don't see why it would be an issue for him to provide the certificate. I've emailed him the building regs and questioned his assertion, but I think probably better to find someone else who isn't so cagey about certification to do the job...
