I think it would actually be dangerous, disconnecting circuits every year continously year after year to test them could actually weaken the circuit breaker terminals and cause a fire lol.

Of course you can. Or are you saying you'd be willing to pay any price no matter how high, and no matter how small the possible safety benefit?I understand that a cost would come into it but can you put a price on safety?

I have actually disconnected sockets in houses to conduct tests in the past when a fault has been on a ring, I split the ring to find which half the fault was on, when I tried to reconnect the socket after finding the fault the screws wouldn't tighten and I had to fit a new socket, so your point is not only valid it has been proven, good point DazAnd if socket outlets are unscrewed and then refitted there will be more metal-fatigue failures of the twin and earth. Specially if someone has nicked into the copper when it was stripped. Daz
:smilielol5:an electricians nightmare, I wouldn't want to carry out and EICR on your property with you watching, I would be so nervous I wouldn't be able to do the job lolI watched the guy doing a gas safe test on my flat yesterday. I know he didn’t cut corners, if fact he was very conscientious.
It took less than an hour, OK there’s only two appliances but he didn’t stint on what he did.
I’m due to have an EICR later this year. It could get interesting. I wonder how long that will take with me watching him to make sure he does what he’s paid to do?
