Hi. I hope you are all well and keeping busy in these strange times. I look after a ladies house who has had to move back abroad and now needs to let the property out and so she has had an EICR done which has come back with saying it needs a total rewire for few grand. 


What I want to know is can I ask info on here about the codes he has put and if reasonable.


I don't won't to upset anyone by second guessing another trades persons work but I would like an idea if this is right or not?


Thanks you


Regards Lee

    Looks like the usual nonsense from a person not competent to carry out a periodic inspection and test. 


    Nice phrase JP.


    Having said that I have myself been known to make comments ref remedials if they are defects noted by someone else not me. When there`s a few it can get to the point where you get to consider if " a total rewire might be the most prudent course of action" of course a site visit sometimes starts to make that answer a bit clearer.
