Hi there
Apologies in advance for a long post. I have got an EICR done for a typical 3-bed end of terrace rental house last week (sourced through OpenRent). The house has a main consumer unit and an additional one for the converted garage (bedroom + shower room). The report has come out today as 'Unsatisfactory' with two C2 and C3 observations each as attached (hopefully you can read it).
There are no further details in the report about these observations or recommendations on what actions are required to remove these which I think is very unhelpful. Below is the extract of the report covering two consumer units.
The first C2 is for lack of supplementary bonding in the bath/shower area but the report doesn't clarify which bathroom or both. From the report, it appears that the first floor family bathroom (presumably fed from first-floor lighting circuit) is only MCB protected but the downstairs shower room is MCB and 30mA RCD protected.
The second C2 is for lack of grommet in metal socket for cable serving boiler. To best of my knowledge, none of the existing metal pattrasses has grommets installed which would indicate this issue is specific to a particular socket. Again there is no further details or photo included to help understand the issue.
This is my first experience of EICR so not sure what the next steps are, hence this post for seeking help. I would be contacting the company issuing the report for more details but would be grateful if you can offer any comments or advice on these observations or remedial works needed.
Thanks in advance.
