So I'm a tenant, just had the letting agent's electrician perform an eicr.

Would anyone like to guess what the test consisted of?

Quick hint, they arrived at 4pm on a Friday.

Taking a photo?

Checking the house / flat number existed and that it was the same place they'd done 5 years ago.

 

[Mike Johnson]

I think it was more than that, he plugged in his tester, it went beep, finished his tea than then said goodby.

 

[Ned Gibbons]

Ok, he waved a non contact tester at the consumer unit.

Is this a wind up because that sounds somewhat far fetched.

Oh the full test procedure then?

 

[Mike Johnson]

It's Friday and gone 1600hrs who cares the week-end beacons, but all the days seem to blend into one now days.

The weekend beckons/beacons?
Or a weekend in the Breckon Beacons?

Took a photo of the consumer unit and left...

Seems to be pretty standard these days

Is that the actual answer?

You never do the fluke test, works for someone no doubt and doesn't care , leaving soon for 1 pound extra up the road

 

[littlespark]

I hope you tell your agent AND the landlord that the electrician is taking them all for a ride. Even if he is charging peanuts, he’s not done any work to earn those peanuts.

 

[Ned Gibbons]

Is that the actual answer?

Yes, he also asked if there were any damages sockets or switches. But didn't even take the cover off the board or turn anything off.

Turned up, rang the bell and said 'Sign here'.

Health and safety check up

 

[Ned Gibbons]

I'm still not sure how I'm going to procede with this. But I'd be interested to know how long people would think it would take to do properly.

The house is a 3 bed semi, built in 1999. It's as far as I can tell completely as built. Gas heating, 2 ring finals (kitchen and rest of house), two lighting rings and 3 radials for cooker, tube heater in air cupboard and smoke alarms. No downlights, just a single pendent in each room.

Don't you think it's time to take H&S a bit more seriously instead of using it as a cheap shot, especially as its something that saves lives.
