EICR failed missing trunking?

Former Community Member

Hi,



I’ve just had an EICR done last week, One item I do not understand and would need an electrician or someone to help please. the EICR report says “MISSING TRUNKING WITH WIRES NOT SUPPORTED C2 SHED.” The cable is clipped on the wood wall in the shed. There are no exposed wires. And the shed is not on escape routes. Does cable need to be in trunking in order to comply with the electrical wire regulation? Is the code 2 correct for this situation?  please see photo.1ff9527a633c65202618bef88f7b0919-original-shed.jpg



Thank you for help

    When we first got married my wife and I bought a terraced house not far from where we are now, over the years two sheds have burnt down behind houses in that street and on both occasions the fire brigade had to attend.


    The one timber shed was attached to a timber garage that had two cars in it that the guy was repairing and he was using the attached shed as a workshop.


    The other the kids burnt down playing with matches.


    On both occasions the fire brigade had to drag hoses through neighbours homes to get access, because they couldn’t get the fire tenders up the rear access roads and on both occasions they nearly became major incidents with all the homes on one side of the street at risk of bring engulfed.


    Why on earth do people look at photo and say “it’s just a shed, it will be okay”?


    The guy whose shed was burnt down by the kids playing with matches didn’t arrive home until after the fire brigade had left, he went into the house and had a cup of tea but his wife and kids did not tell him what had happened, he only found out when he went to put his bike away ?


    I may have coded the issues as C3, but the starting point is C2 and should the issue be downgraded to being an acceptable risk is what needs to be considered.
