@Admin : pls delete post This is from NICEIC about the installer: https://www.diynot.com/diy/javascript:__doPostBack('gvContractors$ctl06$AC','sApproved Contractor\\<p>NICEIC Approved Contractors are assessed to the highest standards covering all types of electrical installations.</p>')

The invoice says: "Labour cost for the replacement of consumer unit, remedial work for EICR and Material cost; consumer unit, RCBO, SPD etc"

He is niceic.

Update: I got my EICR and paid in full. However, I asked whether he is going to issue an EIC or will I get a notification from NICEIC or LABC, he waffled and asked I have to pay more as wasn't in the original quote and takes 2 hours which I refused. I will report to niceic after 30 days and see...

I applied Rust Oleum surface primer this morning; 2 coats, says to wait 12 hrs before paint, adhesion looks quite good, will enamel tomorrow, there is no rush, will update the result.

Hi I want to apply spray enamel to galvanised steel angle L shaped from SF part No. 880JP. Do I need to spray metal primer first and then the enamel or can do without primer?

NICEIC said he has to do the build reg compliance notification, to contact them if not done within a month.

You call them.

I called NICEIC this morning; they said no need for EIC if only CU replaced and there has been no modification or added sockets. But said building reg compliance notification is required, assume from local council, they said to wait for a month, contact them if any issues.

I've been to the property today, my builder said electrician spent 3 hours there only replacing CU and didn't go to other rooms. My previous electrician who did the eicr 5 yrs ago tested all sockets and light fittings, I was present and took him 3 hrs. Has eicr testing methods changed?

I will ask him for EIC, he never mentioned and I didn't know. Cheers

The agreed price was for CU and EICR. He gave invoice full agreed price but doesn't state eicr. Not sure what @ericmark is about. The property is empty with full access to all sockets/switches/fittings inc boilers and gas meters. The bottom lime; I am landlord, called niceic electrician...

I have, I will wait for few days for the eicr or when he starts chasing for payment.

Hi I hired an NICEIC electrician to replace CU and do EICR on a rental property. All communications are documented on whatsapp, price agreed to do CU replace and eicr; texts are clear to include EICR. He came last week to check the works, said he'll do bonding if required and booked for this...

Asking so can use them for small jobs in rented properties.

Hi Has anyone used taskrabbit, is it recommended?

I never do DIY in tenanted properties, I need to hire someone and see what's best, I know either trim or put some angled metal at the back.

I think cooker / worktop is tight fit, seems he didn't cut it straight, he even damaged worktop because wrong/worn blade and no tape. He should have left 2mm gap each side but it's like push fit!

I may angles steel 1.5mm thickness. https://www.screwfix.com/p/rothley-galvanised-steel-angle-1m-x-36mm-x-36mm/880JP?tc=HC9#product_additional_details_container
