Ancient wiring problems.

[klang]

To cut a long story short, my dad died, and I've moved in to look after my mother.

Hence, I've inherited a very old fusebox/ wiring problem.

I can't get the place rewired because of the disruption for my mum.

I thought I could at least get it tested though, and possibly get a modern consumer unit, to improve fire safety.

So I contacted an electrician, who won't fit a consumer unit, as he wouldn't be able to issue a certificate.

He won't carry out an EICR either, as he would have to condemn it.

I understand what he's saying but it's left me in a bind.

Can anyone suggest anything I can do to improve safety without a full rewire?

Thanks.

Fit decent smoke alarms is probably the best advice in can give you

A rewire is going to need to be done sooner or later imho
