Landlord has completely disregarded my EICR because it basically has resulted in multiple C1 and C2plus a plethora of fi c3 and general comments. He told me not to quote for remedial work as a friend would rewire it. Six weeks on and working next door the family came out assuming I was there to begin remedial work. Landlord has told them my testing showed no problems??? I know I’ve fulfilled my responsibilities as an inspector but feel the need to raise this as an issue with someone Local authorities not interested so is it worth involving HSE ? Someone’s going to be hurt
 
We as electricians have absolutely no power to disconnect an unsafe installation

Heck there could be a live cable poking out the wall and we still aren’t legally allowed to disconnect supply

Just make a note and move on
 
If there is a fatality you will be one of the first persons arrested

And if you pull out the main fuse and simply walk off you will likely be in trouble for theft or criminal damage ?

I suppose you could put warning tape all over the fuse box and a sign saying ‘condemned do not use’ and take a picture of it

Rubbish. He's done his bit and presumably informed the landlord in writing in the strongest terms that it needs urgent remedial work.

What more can you do?

Giving a copy of the report to the tenant without permission from the client (landlord) leads you down a slippery path imo.
