Hi,
I'm looking for advice re frequency of Fixed Wiring Inspections in Residential Apartments.
We have recently had a Fire Risk assessment in which the issue was raised. The block (14 Apts, all owned not rented), is about 5yrs old and the Domestic Installation Certificate for each apartment recommends re inspection after 10yrs, stickers inside the consumer units say the same.
The Fire Risk Assessor is saying as there are common areas he “believes” it would be 5yrs.
Can anyone clarify the situation please? 10yrs or 5 yrs ? Are common areas likely to be treated differently to the individual apartments?
Thanks
