Hi All,
A top quality EICR report attached.
I'm detecting an increase in opportunists looking to scare the bejesus out of landlords in particular. This report is utter crap. Everything ticked or N/A on the inspection schedules to suggest all is satisfactory but then some belter C1's in observations, including 'Full Rewire Required". Same chap uses scaremongering of the likes of 'hefty fines or even imprisonment' for negligent landlords, and was offering EICR's for as little as £75 including VAT at one point.
I'm to visit the site this morning to try and get a sense of it. The same chap has already upgraded the consumer unit but does it need a rewire? I mean 'Resistance values low for all circuits?' - I take it he means IR but schedule of test results indicate all OK. What will I find.
I feel something should happen to stop this sort of carry on - but what?
Totally agree after a couple I just looked at. There are good landlords out there who care. It's frustrating when a report intended to help a landlord does nothing to do that. Reading this report the landlord would logically conclude that he needs to take steps to increase the resistance of all circuits!On another note - EICR's can only be a good thing for landlords, tenants and electrical safety. The landlord gives me the impression that he cares about electrical safety but had no reason to suspect anything was unsafe.
I'd like to name and shame but his dad might be bigger than my dad!Thats one cracking certificate, christ did they actually know what thet are looking at?
How can a rewire be a C1? Its not even taken place!
See loads of these things, when I post on SM I dont bother redacting the details of the electrician/company, name and shame is the game!
What was the KW.Shower was actually OK - B32/6mm (so more bullsh*t busting).
