Testing someone else’s work

[Pete999]

Sorry, trying to keep up. I plugged my mft into the socket to get a ZS reading, but couldn’t. My mft indicated there was no earth

What MFT are you using Tom?

Think you’ve fallen into a bit of a trap here Tom,if the only reason she wanted it checked was “he was a bit of drip”.......I wouldn’t get my testers out for that

Could be onto something here, it was just his general workmanship that was her cause for concern for everything. He didnt even have a drill bit to drill a hole in a worktop, said he’d have to borrow one and then came back with he’ll get his father in law round to do it as he would do a better job

Tom can you explain how your MFT indicates " no earth"?

At the top of the screen there are 3 icons L-N
L-E and N-E, when the connection is there they go solid, they flash when there is no connection.
L-N was solid the other 2 were flashing

Tom,

If she is concerned about the safety of the work carried out, then yes, you can carry out an EICR (which, given it's a spur from what I'm assuming is a ring final circuit) should include a full suite of dead and live tests on the circuit, along with a visual inspection of the work carried out.

As the house is new, she should have access to the original EIC for the installation which you can refer to for test results for the circuit that was worked on.

Hope that helps.

I new the vicar had done it .when the cat was found in the tumble dryer .

Yes, she wouldnt let him back to do anything else. She wanted rid of him

If you investigate this job and find the issue then rectify.

You have worked on and altered in order to rectify this circuit so you will then issue a minor works cert.

That should give the customer the peace of mind she wants.

No need to go down the EICR route.
