Wetpants Trashed My Van
11 months after the event, I've finally received a satisfactory offer from Wetpants' insurers. It was hard work trying to get them to accept 100% liability, but I got there in the end. At first, they tried to palm me off with a 50/50 admission, but I was having none of it. Wetpants was 100% to...- JK-Electrical

EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

EV Charger Installation - Cabling Query?

A Rather Obvious Forged EICR
There's a fire alarm panel, smoke alarms, call points and sounders present. I noticed that the panel is indicating a fault condition. However, no certificate other than a MEIWC has been issued.

You are correct. I'm informed that prior to a 16mm SWA being installed to supply a sub-board for the office area, one of those twin and earths was acting as the supply cable! Apparently whoever installed the sub-board connected all the final circuits, but for reasons best known to himself...- JK-Electrical
