A little update and after a fair bit of back and forth the company have agreed to refund for the report.
Below are there responses to my questions from the company, I don't think I need to comment further!
Going forward I now need to arrange another test with a competent person. Thanks everyone for all the excellent advice.
Question 1
C2 - Additional RCD protection is required for circuits supplying outdoor equipment...The general and kitchen sockets are on RCD protection (although the trip times are missing in the report) and it's a 3rd floor flat. I can't see why outdoor equipment would be mentioned? Please explain.
If I'm being honest, this is an observation which we come across in 90% of all properties so it's on the template we use. It doesn't relate to this property.
Question 2
C2 - Consumer unit is not fire rated...
Looking at the report it is a C2 on the Observations page, but on the Inspection schedule page, it's a C3. Which is it? Please explain.
Further to our telephone conversation with regards to it being a local authority requirement I had a quick look and they advise to follow the government requirements which would class this as a C3 as per your observation page, sorry to be a right pain but I know the Landlord will do their research.
Again, referring to our call, we have found the majority of local authorities are insisting on this. Especially, the London boroughs.
Question 3
The draft quote has 'Replace fixed bathroom fittings' at £154+vat. What is this?
As you can see from the images these are not IP rated. It's an error on our part, juggling the sheer volume of work we taken on in the last few months, the reports were being handwritten and then typed up by our operations staff, the cross-over admittedly created a few issues, all our engineers now have their own laptops and are creating the reports on site.
Smoke detectors – are not part of the regs, the installation supply is but not the expiry date in relation to an EICR.
This mostly comes down to preference from the agents we work with, most of whom, instruct us to check the alarms whilst we're carrying out our tests. As you can see from the images attached the alarms within the property have expired.
