I should know better

[Zebra Stripe]

Had a phone call today from a women asking if I could provide a certificate for some work her hubby had done. Ok I know what your thinking and I agree the answer would be “no chance” if it was major electrical works.
However, this would be for a change of light fitting and a kitchen fan……..all on existing circuits so MWC should have been issued.
Why does she need a cert?? Cos she’s exchanging houses either council or housing association and, she’s been asked for a certificate for the works that have been done.

Ok, so my thinking would be:
EIC?….no chance

MWC?.....well if I could test circuit(s) and look at connections…hmmm.. maybe, but still don’t feel right.

PIR whole install with EICR?? Maybe a bit over the top?? Just these 2No circuits with lots of LIMs?


Probably won’t ring her back as I’m not desperate for work, but I’m a sucker for a female in distress and some easy money.

Any views?

Still not sure..MWC with some testing & inspection although not strictly correct and a bit late would be financialy benefial to both parties...and being council/housing asociation they've probably been PIRed on a regular basis......although that probably consisted of a Ze, PFC and RCD test in my experience if your lucky....

 

[MDJ]

Has to be a EICR, you issue Minor works for works you carried out, as it was the womans husband you cannot issue anything other than a EICR, IMO.

tell em its a condition report their gettin..

council or whoever it is will be happy with that

 

[Zebra Stripe]

Agreed MJD and strictly your right, but if you were to replace the fan and light, a MWC would suffice. So if I checked connections to the existing light & fan and tested and inspected there's not much in it.....perhaps Im trying to convince myself

 

[Silly Sausage]

Mike's right.
Just limit the whole thing down to the one circuit.

 

[Zebra Stripe]

Yep Glen, its what I was going to say to her.....but I do like to twist and bend the rules...probably too much...

 

[MDJ]

The EICR only has to be for the fan and light, it could be filled in pretty quickly, if you issue a MWC then you take full responsibility for the work, an EICR your only saying it looks fine to you but you take no responsibility, your Call.

Full re-wire required here unfortunately as the installation is highly dangerous and could self-combust at any moment setting fire to the whole neighborhood, thus setting off a chain of events that could lead to the downfall of mankind and the rise of an army of mutant plumber ladyboys.

 

[Zebra Stripe]

Ok, EICR ....its what I needed to hear....thanks guys
