Need help A property I recently done an EICR on has a fault on the downstairs ring main.
The fault is an open circuit on the r1. To shorten the story I managed to believe the fault is under the floor
and may have possible joint boxes. But the client has sold the property and didn't want to spend
money. So all I done was derated the MCB and changed it RCBO. Is this classed as okay or does anyone have a recommendation to what I should of done
 
for the cost of what you have done, you could have found the fault. always treat the disease, not the symptoms.
 
if you've been asked to rectify code C1 and code C2 faults, then you should rectify, not bodge. end of.
 
does anyone one know what code it is and I have left the job in safer comdition
if no one can answer my question politely then don't bother
 
could say a C3 as it requires improvement. as for polite. now bog off.

Your question originally was 'or does anyone have a recommendation to what I should of done', which Tel has answered in post #6. What's wrong with you?
 
Can you be certain the circuit is 2.5mm everywhere? Unlikely, given what you've said about the probable jb under the floor, so derating to 20A isn't an option.
 
i could interpret BS7671 into swahili, but the meaning's the same. the codes are quite clear. imminent danger - potential danger - requires improvement.
 
Boaky, your attitude ain't going to get you anywhere mate. Calm down a bit. Daz
 
Is it potentially dangerous
this IS own to interpretation
