Can you point me to regulation regarding this please ?

OK. So I just asked for electrical installation certificate and part p. Amd got advised he will sort out .

Yes even I can see now it's obvious you should check bonding first. Seems common sense really. If I said I do not have more money it would of been a problem. Abit annoyed as insurance was paying for it and he gave quote. Changed board got paid money off insurance then I had to pay for the bond...

Also the spark is on my builder with 109 positive reviews .

I feel that . Do you suggest I do not pay him for the £100 earth bonding upgrade etc ? Would I not be robbing him then ? I think he has gone the wrong way about his business although. And worried about others documents I should be supplied with.

OK I have been giving a Eicr but nothing else . No electrical installation certificate or part p. Should I ask if I am getting these ? Could it effect anything in future ?

So the bond getting upgraded tomorrow and the circuit split with eicr. Pay the extra £170 and say no more.about it. If a spark can give eicr would this not mean they are competent ? Do they have to register to give these out ?

OK. I cannot really be bothered with all arguing with installer of cu. I take it £440 for consumer unit supply and fit is very reasonable. Then £100 extra to do earth bonding. It's about 5 meters away. So be £540 with bonding upgrade Then £70 to split into radials with 2 x 20 amp £630 in...

The neutrals was already disconnected in two sockets. He picked this up after installing new cu and doing tests at new consumer unit. He the placed the two neutrals from two boxes on down stairs ring back in and that triple the new rcbo. As they could not go back in offered cost to split to two...

Do you think that sounds OK with splitting ring into radials ?

I paid for consumer unit. Owe for cooker install. Then the eicr and the extra earth bond and split radials

Regarding the radials he took all down stairs ring sockets off. On two of the sockets the neutral was out and tapped. From someone else. On testing this circuit there was no continuslity . The neutrals went back in and tripped the rcbo. So he said that his assumes someone had put previous a...

He never said anything about issues . Either did his quote. And after he fited it he said he does not say anything about issues or he may not get job. Then we found issues and then extra costs are going on. Earth bonding upgrade to 10mm from mains water - £100 Then there was two neutrals out...

I haven't got a EIC yet. Should I get a EIC as well as EICR if I am paying for EICR as well ? Also what is average cost of consumer unit change. 10 way consisting of 8 fuses. 7 circuits so one spare with 2 blanks. Fusebox rcbo unit . Thanks

Yes paid for consumer unit. Then he found fault on bonding after install. And also a fault on down stairs ring and has to split them to radials. Costing me a fee for bonding upgrade Fee for 20 amp fuses to split ring 32 amp to radial .

Yes it's a rental.

Hi I paid for consumer unit . Then he came back to do eicr as well as put lights on 2 x 6 amp fuses as he got one 6 amp and one 16 by mistake . I have paid for consumer unit but not the eicr or earth. But the earth not done until Tiesdsy and unless I get it then I get a fail on Eicr and the...

Hi Yes the CU was changed before visual inspection or EICR carried out. The AFTER the cu was changed the earth bonding at 2.5mm on mains from socket ring was picked up. Then advised I have a fail unless earth is upgraded.

The water is metal. Electrician has fitted cu then he has said upgrade earth bond to get cert or its a fail.

Property had combi installed years ago and tue combi is basically in a cupboard next to gas meter. So it has 10 mm on. The water main is by sink and it just has a 2.5mm earth out of a kitchen ring socket onto main water. Read on another site today . Some old kitchen use to be like this .
