Landlord electrical safety certificate

Hi all, my father in law has a rental property that was completely rewired and with new split load CU five years ago. The installation is now due an inspection. Will the fact that the CU is plastic constitute a "fail"?

  • you may not be a scheme member, but if you are happy to do so ,  (PI insurance and all that) then Grumpy Electricals limited or whatever name you use, can do an EICR. If serious remedials are needed you may need to chat to building control if work is notifiable, , but just to  do the inspection, you need to be competent, and membership of a scheme neither confers nor restricts that status.  There are some very capable folk who are scheme members, and equally plenty more who are not.
