    EICR Test Fail, before and after

    The chap who come to do the EICR said 3 was a ring that had lost continuity, but I don't think he can be relied upon. Yes Boiler has FCU. Combi boiler - no tank, it was fitted last year by BG

    EICR Test Fail, before and after

    So sorry to resurrect this again, I still haven't got it resolved so I'm going to give up on the current Electrician and find a new one, he was supposed to come fix it but never turned up. Anyway I bought one of those socket testers off Amazon just to see if there were any obvious faults and...

    EICR Test Fail, before and after

    Just to follow up on this, circuit three was indeed a ring that lost it's continuity, the work quoted for was to split this into two 20amp circuits with separate MCB's, instead they just replaced the MCB for a 20amp MCB, is this OK? It actually looks like they have also downgraded circuit four...

    They did, I had a new boiler installed recently and the guy who wired in the thermostat also commented on how intidy it is, bit dissapointing given what it cost but what can I do? Some people have no pride in their work, but it is safe I assume, especially with the EICR just done.

    EICR Test Fail, before and after

    It's just a single page cert from NICEIC, no schedule was ever issued to me.

    EICR Test Fail, before and after

    It's my first EICR since the consumer unit was changed about 8 years ago, I have a building regs cert of compliance for that.

    EICR Test Fail, before and after

    Hi, recently had an EICR test done by 'Landlord Certificates' which failed due to circuite 3 having two radial circuits into a single 32amp MCB, they advised splitting it into two 20amp MCB's and quoted £174 including EICR certificate. The Electrian appears to have simply taken out the 32amp...

    Bathroom fan with delay

    Hi, My bathroom fan currently comes on and off with the light, the fan itself has a delay function and I'd like to use it, is this the correct wiring diagram? It's currently wired a little different but does work, it doesn't carry on to another light, just seems to be on it's own. Also the fan...
