Had an electrician around to do an EICR but was given a quote for work instead.

You need to mark old cable colours with new markings you just need a sticker on the consumer unit if it contains both.

 

[mwigham85]

* You dont need to mark old cables

 

[SYKRAPS]

speechless.

Thats not like you tel lol

 

[mwigham85]

And the time it would take to do a temp supply he could do the little work what is needed

i think we need the name of this guy, i recomend find out who he is registered with and send them the letter he gave you, no wonder electricians get a bad name! never heard so much trype in my life! get another electrician in ,by the way when was original installation installed?

 

[telectrix]

just wondering where i can buy a BS7671 felt marker. the only bit of possible sense i saw in that quote was that there was no RCD prfotection at all. i can't see , though, how the job could have been installed without RCD/s in 2005.

Im a bit confused about the need to put in a builder board to provide power while working on the board? I find a torch saves a bit of time lol...Why not just get the original company back to perform the EICR?

Supply parts and create the earth equipotential cross bonding to the boiler pipes.

Also open all blanked sockets, lights and switches and do the BS7671:2008 upgrading by opening these items and installing the marking to wires.
ALSO, FOR THE ENTIRE BUILDING, DO A CONTINUITY AND ISOLATION TESTS.

Has a good understanding of the regs :6:

 

[telectrix]

but we are missing the point . the sparks was contracted to carry out an eicr. this should have been given to the client before any thought of remedial work was entertained. if you have not paid him for the eicr, tell him to swivel and get somebody competent in.
