PIR failed - help please

[sandhu40]

NO RCD Protection (An old fuse board)
There is a cracked socket in the hallway
There is no main earth bonding to the water supply.

Please can someone help and let me know what needs to be done if anything and how much. roughly, it should cost.

I am in London.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks very much.

No RCD protection is not a failure unless the earthing system uses a rod.
Although all newly wired sockets should be 30mA RCD protected, in older editions of the regulations they were only required for sockets that could be expected to supply portable equipment outdoors.
A broken socket is a failure if it could be expected to fail anytime soon and pose a danger.(eg exposed live parts)

No main protective bond to the water main is a fail.

These all really come under the 'needs improvement' umbrella.

As for cost - it's anyones guess depending on length of cable runs, accessibility etc etc etc etc......

What does the quote say the work involves ?

 

[sandhu40]

all of the above I mentioned.

the pir was £120 and now the remedial work will be £400.

Find out exactly what you'll be getting for the £400.
If it is for a new consumer unit, main bonding, replacing the socket then inspection, testing, certification and notification to the local area building control then it doesn't sound expensive to me.

Can I also ask, for research, why you had the PIR carried out please?
