EICR failed missing trunking?

Are your guys really going to go in and tidy up a landlords electrical installation for them? There is a level of reasonable service that goes without saying, but, well you know what the but is.


The original poster has been given some help, it has been pointed out to him that his installation is ####, it also does not comply with the regulations and it needs sorting out. But in all reality the original poster should be able to see that without having to be told..


There’s absolutely no reason why the person preparing the report should be expected to fo the remedial work either paid or unpaid, neither is the any reason they should have a box of clips or mini trunking with them. Whilst we are at it, meter guys only found out what meter tail clips are a couple of years ago, they hardly have much experience of clipping cables it’s a new fangled idea to them that came in along with Smart Meters.


For  the umpteenth time, the cable is not secured in any way whatsoever, it is not good enough.

Yes, it is not good enough, it needs fixing. C3. Open end etc. C1.


Yes, Chris, the exams for Doctors may be slightly easier now, but one is expected to take more of them. My Daughter MRCP, now Oncology Registrar, so now the Radiologists exams, another metre pile of textbooks to learn, more exams at £1000 per time, etc. Fortunately, she does not fail any (yet) but even so, the path is very far from smooth for many, who have to try and try again. I really don't see why electricians whinge so much, they earn more money in the first 15 years than a junior doctor, and do not have to pay for 5 years at £9000 a time for University either. A 15% pass rate to find the best does not seem unreasonable to me, and you can always learn some more and practice the practical, and try again. The best part of the training is definitely the 80 hours or so a week on shifts which usually include the Weekends, plus being on call (which usually happens too), the rest of the time. Being an electrician is a hard life!
