PrenticeBoyofDerry - Just read the article you sent. I have a question, does anyone know why it isn't a legal requirement for tenant's houses to have an electrical service certificate like with gas? I know gas issues are like a "silent killer" and should definitely be made safe but surely an...

PEBs?

The shower is 8.5kW. :) Yep, it was disgusting when they said that, especially when you can bet they go home to perfectly safe houses while denying people help. The rep from Env Health also tried to claim that there wasn't a need for an RCD board and that the disconnected areas should be...
