Testing an installation

EICR test for house purchase , no earth on lighting circuits.

One of the worst installations I have ever inspected, highlights the importance of regular inspections . This customer had paid a lot of money for a distribution board upgrade with a non approved contractor and was left with this dangerous mess.

Call out to a house in Cardiff where the owner had concerns of the quality of the work carried out. We tested the house and failed to find continuity on the earth to the lighting circuits. as the photo shows the earth cables have been cut out . Very poor standard of work that the client paid a lot of money for .

his old lighting control was still in use, we recommended urgent replacement

This was picked up on an EICR inspection for house purchase, the owner was trying conceal old wiring by using short tails of new colours badly connected behind the new distribution board on a damp wall.

Older commercial distribution equipment, lacks the current requirements of BS7671

We were asked to go to London for a local client that had a let student house, he had called out 3 local electrical companies that failed to find the fault. We located the problem in half hour. Loose connection had caused heating and breakdown of the insulation.

Found this on an EICR test and report, fuse strapped out can be very dangerous .
