mortgage retention advice for current installation upgrade

as for inline fans.....................
crack on mate, so long as you get a large air change rate they work wonderful, dont get wickes own inline as thats just about 45l/m whereas you can splash out and get a full on 140/160 l/m fan that will suck the water straight out the shower and out thru the fan before it even touches you lol.

people do tend to get pedantic on this site, but you have had some good advice, when you get your eicr, look thru it do the required work and for now ignore any C3's, get your dosh from el banko.
encourage your mates to show you or help you to understand where the faults are at the moment.
people on here can only speculate as to the best way forward, but your mates can give you proper informed advice

I thought i gave you good advice for the time i am prepared to spend on this and was before you mentioned anything about your knowledge or aspirations, good luck.

the lack of RCDs is only a code C3 unless outdoors, as a C3 that means improvement recommended, a bit like an advise on your MOT. does not mean that the installation is unfit for continued use.

thanks, i have spoken to my mate and he is saying the shower not being on rcd and the sockets not being on rcd are definately c3. advice is obviously appreciated, thanks your right it does not make it unfit for continued use

Yup, and I've got a mate who's got 25 years more than me and I still use him, and he uses me for advice - and where necessary we visit each others "jobs" so we can actually look at the jobs first hand.

i will be asking my mates for help and they will be helping me, with whatever work is carried out, but i do appreciate they have there own work and commitments too hence why i am trying to get all the help i can with this

We are able to give general advice BUT only seeing a job makes the advice "constructive"

Get a 'Satisfactory' EICR (ie no C1s or C2s) off your two mates, give it to your mortgage provider, get your £20K off their grubby little hands, then work on your installation at your leisure!!!
It's your own house and you're a Trainee Electrician, aware of any risks, go for it!

i will be carefull and carry out work under safe isolation and following the best practice possible. i am also going to eventually get all the work done to a good standard inline with current regs but for now the main priority is getting it safe for family and identifying any potential problems
