Evening evening
had a job spec come through today that read:
'Services required: replace a consumer unit / fuse box
Additional information: We have approximately 170 house which are converted into 2 flats A/B, under HMO registration we have had all properties inspected with an NIC visual inspection certificate which shows what required. a majority of the properties need the following. New consumer unit, smoke alarms normally x2 per flat hard wire to light with battery back up. plus an heat x1 detector which needs to be linked with the adjoining flat and a test switch in the communal hall so the heat detectors can be tested without needing access into the flats themselves. So I'm looking for a contractor that can carry out these works and provide the necessary NIC completion certificate. so I need a price for the following
1, consumer unit to replace the old
2, x2 smoke alarms to be hard wire (normally to light) with battery backup.
3, 1x heat detector which is interlinked with the adjoin flat.
4, test switch for the heat detector to both flats to be fitted in communal hallway. '
Am i right in thinking he has that wrong- would it not be a bit silly having a test switch for the indivual flats in the communal area!
I was under the impression
2x sd+1x hd and a test switch in each flat
then they would need a panel sysem alarm for the communal area
thoughts?
