Nice one, that clarifys things :wink:

ok, so do a PIR, list any faults if any, repair faults (after quoting), issue MW or EIC. So a "clean" PIR is good enough for a landlord cert ?

Doing a job at the moment for someone who rents properties. They asked me if I can issue a landlord certificate. Would I test & inspect the complete installation & issue a PIR or a EIC ?

Hi As far as I know the 17th Edition will cover regulations pretty much everywhere. When I was rewiring a bungalow in Ireland we had to get an Electrician in to test the installation & certify it before the Supplier would turn the power back on, which I found unusual. The Electrician we had in...

I'm sure I read in the OSG that the fan only needed an isolator if there wasnt a window in the bathroom.

For my NIC assessment I changed the CU in my house. Where it asks if cables had been routed in safe zones I put N/A. In the comments on existing installations box I put a note to say wiring was present before CU change so cannot guarantee cables have been run in safe zones. The assessor was...

ok thanks for that :D . Need to find someone that sells Steeple stuff now. Also doing a job which requires GET MCBS. I think Denmans sell those makes.

Its a TN-S. Got a (labelled) 100A main fuse. Re-wire was done about 8 yrs ago. No main bonding.

I've got a situation where I am fitting some extra sockets in a tiny cottage. The CU (manufacturer - Steeple) main sw is a 30ma RCD with 3 mcb's (sockets, Cooker & lights). The customer now wants electric smoke alarms but I cant just fit another MCB cause the main sw is a 30ma RCD. Would you...
