hi I'm based in Leicester, so a bit far for me to go, can any one recommend a reasonable and reliable guy to swap a triton t80 z? Thanks (it's for my sister),
Thanks nick
There was no ring, just 2x radials with joint boxes all over the place feeding various sockets, I'm wondering if he has inadvertently linked them, mistaking for a rfc
Not 100% as not physically had chance to check, but I believe they are saying two circuits are in effect linked and both mcb need switching off to isolate, definitely not the case before
I told him since other sparks have made alterations there's not much I can do about it,
The house has now been re plastered decorated etc, new carpets, he is putting in a complaint to my scene provider about it, since considerable alterations have been carried out I'm unsure how they will see it?
Hi, I carried out an eicr in August 15 (satisfactory)
the property has changed hands and the new owners sparks has altered sockets and lighting.
i have been contacted saying there is a back feed between 2 mcbs at the consumer unit.
as it is 4 months since eicr and and alterations have been made...
i agree, it is rare, and normally traced to a dodgy joint box hidden away with cpc cut off/ or fell out due to very poor work.....sometimes by a kitchen fitter possibly :-O
I've done similar work (hob replacements/ovens) and on more than one occasion when testing the existing circuit, found to have no continuity on the cpc, of course the previous oven worked fine!! without carrying out essential IMO testing how can you be 100% sure your leaving it SAFE?
