The EICR and competence. What are we going to do about the endless problems brought to the forum?

Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?

    Of course people ask for EICRs for various reasons. Like if you're about to buy a house, you want to know things such as: is it dangerous right now? Even if it's not dangerous, should I consider a complete rewire before moving in; or at least a CU change; or maybe some things should be fixed up initially? Then, how much life has the installation left? Might it be worth rewiring each room individually when it's that room's turn to be renovated or redecorated?


    Yer 'avin' a giraffe!


    When daughter moved into her current house, she wasn't in the slightest bit bothered about the electrics, which were in a truly dreadful state. I have almost finished a complete rewire, but if I hadn't been qualified, probably nothing would have been done, or at least new stuff would have been tacked on to the old.
