EICR no hopers? try this one.

A thoroughly decent, gentle, kindly pair in their 60s. Growing family. Children, grandchildren. They wanted to be sure their electrical installation was sound so decide on a "wiring check" Looked through the phone book, found someone who seemed qualified and experienced so asked him round. 


Because he was only there 30 minutes, the husband was suspicious and decided to engage another electrician, this time from a business long established in the city. This electrician asked to see the paperwork and demolished it in 15 minutes.


Further, he asked if the 1st electrician carried any test equipment.


Oh yes, said the home owner, just the one.


"He plugged it in to some sockets and 3 red neons came up each time".


This is a true story, Its become an avalanche

  • This is not a rare or uncommon situation with knuckle scraping low life's ripping off honest decent people. 


    I was  a prosecution witness against a registered electrician who visited a disabled person's home sat at his dining table and wrote out an EICR without carrying out any testing or even taking an tools or test equipment in to the house. 10 minutes later he was gone with £150. 


    Despite his his conviction he is the man to go to in East London and Essex for shark landlords to get their EICRs.
