Well guys


i visited my customer tonight to quote for the cu upgrade, the current board is an old Wylex board from the 70’s with button pop out mcb’s, all in very good condition, but no visible bonding in place, 16mm tails and 10mm earth, so a problem there.  Board all works fine, only problems they’ve had is when a luminaire blows, the mcb pops.  They were told by the electrician that installed a light in the loft/office (last year) that their fuseboard is “dangerous & illegal) under the then current regs ?.  They accepted my quote of £90 for an initial inspecting & testing visit first, before they decide whether to go for the upgrade.  They’ve already had a quote of £840 for a 14 way RCBO board plus £350 for an EICR, then charges for any found faults ?.  But they said I explained things better than him too. 


I’m going to quote for both an RCBO & split load board, for them to choose which one they want.
