Smoke coming from electric meter/fuse box area

Well if you call being able to write a fake report knowledge then I guess you could say he has some.

Since when have you certified a CU replacement on a minor works certificate? All very suspect if you ask me. Something just doesn't seem right about this whole job. I wouldn't let him anywhere near my house. Can we verify if the certificate is genuine or not?

He said we have to call the electricity board and get them to remove those perished cables.

So should he of recommended the rewire? I'd rather not have that done if it's not essential. As we have hardwood flooring and laminate in all rooms. It would be an absolute nightmare!

If and I do say If you have rubber covered wiring & wiring with no earth conductors then yes, you need a rewire.
Please take the advice already given to you, by several of us & get a proper electrical contractor in to look at it.

That "Certificate" you've been given, really isn't worth the paper it's written on.

Are those the rubber wires he's referring to? The ones he advised to get the electricity board to replace (free of charge)

They won't replace them they are after the meter. All they will do is put you an isolator in. I can't understand why your electrician who must of pulled the main fuse didn't connect straight into the meter??

This from a NICEIC Approved Contractor (notice not signed off by Q.S.) unless unauthorised use of NICEIC certificates. What sort of test/inspection took place to existing circuits prior to re- connecting.

 

[telectrix]

and where's his niceic enrolment number. bet he's not niceic at all. in which case, it's fraud.

Hi A14n: Looking at the certificate then no those aren't the wires, he specifies on the cooker and lighting circuits.
