Vermin control in a new electrical Installation-Old large house

Billy Boy
Hi 

I would like to know if anyone has had the experience to install an electrical installation designed for Vermin control, ie rats, mice, Glis Glis,  etc

We are looking to take on a large house refurb in the country and part of the design spec is to carry out an installation that will protect against Vermin.

So would we be looking at a twin and earth system, or a complete screwed conduit system?

to be clear it is an old house with large old joists so a conduit system would be very hard and expensive.

Is there a risk assessment for such installations? and is there a wiring spec or IET guidance?


Thanks in advance


Billy

    If the client wants a satisfactory EICR rather than an unsatisfactory EICR with several minor works certificates appended to it why argue?

     




    Wow!  Think I need to have a lie down after that bombshell.


     




    Still do the minor works certificates, but of they want to pay for an updated EICR so be it. 


    I installed a new shower circuit last week from an existing consumer unit , yesterday I did the invoice and certification as one document to email to the regular customer, the document if printed covers eleven sides of A4 paper with an itemised invoice,  a copy of the part P notification and the electrical installation certificate. 


    My notes in my diary for all of this consists of several lines on a page. The customer expects the document to cover eleven pages and that's part of what they pay for. I know it's silly and so do they, but they have all the details my input to the job stored stored as a pdf. on their server as part of their paperless system .


    If the customer wants the last document stored on paper in a file or paperless on a server to be a satisfactory condition report and they are paying for it why argue?

    What is this "updated EICR"? Are you performing the in-service inspection all over again, to the same extent and limits? Taking the same samples from the same places? Are you then issuing another Report [EICR] ? Does or will the original "un-satisfactory" Report still exist somewhere?
