Don't usually travel that far- mind you I was in Motherwell doing a rewire last week (large 6 bed old house, detached build 1911)

Split Kitchen RFC is OK now it's protected by a suitable RCD?so JK Electrical came round today to do my EICR as agreed. Very pleasant guy (as was his apprentice) although my installation I think tested this to the limit. They were very thorough and stuck with it till the bitter end
results (from memory not got report yet)
- RCD on consumer unit is knackered - so CU will end up getting replaced after all
- Kitchen is an electrical disaster area area, but a lot safer now the split ring is protected by suitable RCD
- Alcove lighting was bodged in
- Backboxes were largely a disaster area, very little attempt to use the right size or install straight and level and any screw which came to hand was forced in. Doubts were also expressed as to whether grout/plaster/artex/paint is the best way to fix accessories to the wall
Hopefully I'll be getting Jim back in when I'm ready to redo kitchen (the kitchen is need of replacement), although it is possible my place will be the straw that breaks the camels back and he may retire from domestic work - hopefully not
