    Hi all. I have a small question about inspection interval labels. We all know to fit one of these labels with the relevant date upon completion of a new installation, CU replacement etc, and upon a "satisfactory" EICR.....but what about an "unsatisfactory" EICR? Do you guys still fit a new label...

    Am2 Inspection and Testing

    I recently just done my AM2 resit and in my inspection and testing, despite the invigilator watching me do the tests, I think I may have forgotten to tick the RCD test button on the Electrical Installation Certificate despite actually doing it the test. Would that mean an immediate fail for not...

    Why do i need a rewire when i've passed inspection with no issues?

    Hi I'm having some work done at my house and the electrician has said we need a full rewire. I'm a bit surprised given that we passed an inspection 2 years ago and it raised no issues at all. We've just been told that the wiring is illegal and needs changing. Maybe i'm not understanding the...

    Inspection Cameras Any Good?

    Hello all. Does anyone have any views on using cameras to send under floorboards etc? I was thinking about getting either a borscope or cable ferret.
