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

  • Maybe, but  I have seen quite a few 1960s places near my parents with the old twin without earth dropped inside isolated lengths of un-earthed conduits, presumably a throwback to the (then quite recent) rubber cables that could not be directly plastered in, (well not without  falling apart a few years later) .

    It still makes a re-wire easier of course, but if they are earthed or not can only be determined by inspection/testing. Metal conduit is not always earthed..

    regards Mike.
