This is the full EICR, I also attach the first results of the EICR that failed, plus the recommendations that were actually carried out.

So yes all the sockets have been working fine for 3 years. The only other thing I suspect one of the issues that the EICR first failed was there were no glands on the cables entering the CU so wondering if after putting the cables back in is what cause the issue. I will go with a henry hoover...

My tenants moved in and they say the rcd is tripping when they plug the hoover in the three rooms in the house but it works ok in the kitchen. The CU is a split load with two RCDs protecting two sets of circuits. The kitchen is on a 32A ring circuit where the rest 3 rooms are on a 20A radial...

Ok great will do that thanks

I have three neutrals clamped together on the light switch. I want to install the neutral on the smart switch. Do I just take one neutral and connect it to the switch and leave the other two joined together or can I connect all three neutrals to the switch?

I’m moving out of my house and will rent it to possibly Nigerian tenants here in a small 2 bedroom terraced house in Manchester Is it worth putting glass balustrade for being low maintainance or would you rather just raise the side wall and put some painted mdf ? My house is the one with the...

I’m having a new door put in by my joiner on Monday. There was a lot of movement on the frame. I took the trims off and there is a gap around the frame with some wooden blocks What is the best thing to stabilise the frame and can o get really long screws that will bite to the brick rather...

My joiner carved out intumescent groves on a fire wooden door in our factory where the groves were already on the frame! Is there a fireproof filler I can use to save a new door and new fitting? Can I use this...

Does anyone know where I can find floorboards or any timber that is the right thickness for repairing a 70s house floor? Selco does a thicker or thinner board, I have a table saw and can possibly thin it out but if there is a place I can buy the right thickness I don’t care about the width as...

I’m having this canopy installed and want to have two downlights and a PIR. Do I need any special downlights for outdoors or any indoor downlight such as the Ansell Prism that I use indoors is fine ?

Gutter Spacer I guess I will be using these spacers but it frustrate me why trade people do not measure properly and I have to mend their work afterwards especially after spending an extra £250 on this side of the roof to fix the fascia and gutters that someone else did not install properly...

Haha!!!

On my last reroof the roofer did not use the right gap for the gutters and are quite close to the tiles so there is no space for a hedgehog. Is that a concern or shall I not worry about it.

The CU is inside a cabinet that is not very much used. I think what the previous electrician did was to fill the space with silicone of the cables entering the plastic CU compartment.

I’m having an EICR in one of the rentals. Do I need to cover these cables that are coming out of the CU? It has passed its previous EICR.

Sorry there is a catch he is also making me a porch canopy for £1200!! I know it’s not cheap but I would pay at least £300 for a plastic one. I bargained the lead but I have to go for the canopy so total £1500. Hopefully I won’t need anything else on this house until I die !!

Haha, Haha, funnily enough I bargained it down to £300 for the flashing! He is coming back next week!!
