Hi all, My daughter just moved into a rental property in Uxbridge that had an EICR done in June. There are a couple of things that I am concerned over. 1. There is a bathroom pull-switch that is cracked such that the connections are exposed. This is mentioned in the report with a C3...

Hi all I need an Electrical Integrity Report for a rental property as it’s becoming mandatory in Wales. Does it matter who I use be it NICEIC or NAPPIT? I think both are qualified to perform them but only NICEIC do EICRs? NAPPIT name them something else I think?? Anyone confirm this a d...

Just had an EICR done for the first time on my flat, built 2001. The circuits are fine but I was surprised to learn there’s no RCD. Naturally I want one installed regardless of the need to pass the EICR, but the electrician is saying it’s necessary to replace the whole consumer unit (pictured)...

Hello, I've rented a flat in the last month (August 2021) and as part of the tenancy agreement a "Building Regulations certificate of compliance" was included that stated a rewiring of the circuits was completed in November 2016. I was wondering whether this covers the legal requirement for...

Hi all I own a three bed house and I'm currently renting to a friend after moving in with my girlfriend. I only recently became aware of the necessity to complete an EICR which I booked as soon as I found out. The property has failed the EICR due to the fuse board not being up to spec and I'm...

Hi all, We're currently in the advanced stages of buying a 4 bedroom detached house in the midlands (built approx 1980) for us to live in (i.e. not to rent) and have had an EICR carried out. The result came back "UNSATISFACTORY" with the following concerns: 5.6 Condition of enclosure(s) in...

After a bit of advice please! I should have got on to the new EICR requirements sooner - no excuses although COVID, travel lockdowns etc haven't helped matters. Anyway, I wasn't expecting my report to be quite as bad as it looks: Grateful for any advice on below - looks pretty terrible to me at...

Hi, I had an electrician come in to carry out an EICR for a property we're hoping to purchase - 2 bed victorian terraced. The EICR uncovered C1, C2, C3 and FI issues and the age of installation is estimated at 25 years. List of issues: https://ibb.co/gT7kXpR They were also unable to provide a...

Hi All, I have a property with the old style fuse wire boards. I need an EICR certificate as well. One tradesman has said they will carry out the EICR first to find any faults with the existing wiring and then change the board to a new consumer unit to finish the test and issue the EICR? I...

Just started watching the following video, where it is claimed that the plastic bit in the string of pull cord switches is for insulation purposes and thus is a safety device. I can understand this if true, although is new news to me. Any truth to this, have you heard this before, and is there...

Hiya first time posting so apologies if not the right place/I'm not following correct etiquette. I've moved in with my boyfriend and am doing up my flat to put on the rental market. I'd like to get a pre-certificate EICR to see what may need to be done/fixed. Where's a good place to find a...

Hi, Buying a property and was quoted £8,500 to fix the below C1’s • Circuit 7, socket circuit has original rubber wiring and an insulation test has a reading of under 1 meg ohm. This means the cables are seriously deteriorating and need rewiring • Circuit 8, socket circuit has original...

Hi Peeps, have just had the above done for a house I'm purchasing. The electrician is recommending a full rewire but I'd like a view from here if possible. Thoughts? Problem areas, please see pic. Thanks Jaz

Curious about how those on here handle testing RCD's when doing EICR's or MWC's? If you have several circuits protected by an RCD as is often the case, do you test the RCD on each circuit it protects or just once for each RCD what is ideally done with no loads at the distribution board. In...
