hold on so you arnt the customer ??????????? you doing an ecir by an chance?

 

[haptism]

No im not the customer, its a friends house and he wants me to check it out visually. I told him it looks OK, but was not sure about the earthing (although from what i gather here the tn-s earth is OK to use).

The crack is he wants a new CU and all the certificates for his house and dont want any surprises about the shed when he gets around to finding someone to do the job. I told him I cant do it immediately because I dont have a meter, and maybe he would be better off getting someone part P. Im just checking it for any obvious f ups which could be re mediated before-hand. From the sound of it its just the inaccessible armoured connection (is that a regulation that all joints have to be accessible, or is just a matter of good practice) ?

Cheers

So you're not an electrician then?

He's better off getting someone fully qualified and ignoring all claims about 'being par p'
Especially considering that part p has nothing to do with carrying out a condition report.

To update, ive found that exporting the TN-S is not looked at favourably.

Please explain why.

More to the point, who the hell are You, to be dishing out electrical advice on a subject you clearly don't have a Scooby Doo about?? Are you one of these failed electrical trainee's that fell by the wayside or what??

Don't really think it matters whoever the OP is DIY or whatever.
He asked a question, I don't see why it can't be answered.
