Hi. Does anyone know the going rate for a periodic inspection report? I have seen prices for around £220.
I have a 3 bedroom house (1969/70 build) with an old Wylex fuse box (plastic box with 6 black dominoe like fuses installed). When we had the basic survey done before purchasing the house, it was flagged that we should look at replacing it with a modern rcb consumer unit.
Indeed a part qualified electrician advised similar when I was having some building work done.
The reason I am interested in the PIR is that my neighbour recently sold his house (same build year) and the new occupiers were advised to re-wire on the basis of "green gunge". Ideally I would like to just replace the fuse box with a new CU but figure it would be prudent to get a PIR done before getting quotes from electricians. I am hoping a PIR would give me a detailed assessment of the state of the electrics in my home, therefore giving me a good idea when he came to quotes for the new CU.
If anyone has any experience or comments please let me know. Thanks
