Installation (domestic) without Service Head

Martyn
Canvassing opinion...


We have an Installation without its own service head fed from a 50s/60s ryefied/MSDB style unit.


The Ryefield/MSDB is inturn fed from a 200A Tp&n supply head belonging to DNO. No visible issues other than supply to MSDB being unsheathed.


The MSDB has no key or tool to open, has direct access to 70mm lugged cables with door closed. 


With door open for fuse access there are no barriers, all removed and lost. 


Service cables are single insulated, tails to meters insulated & sheathed direct in to this unit. 


EICR for one of the supplied flats, does it pass or fail?

    Hmm. I wonder who would be arrested if  dangerous situation arose due to negligence, for the ice is sounding thin. It is usually the directors of the legal entity, which may be some sort of collective commonhold with each flat owner a member.

    However, even so, that commonhold association has both the rights and obligations of a separate freeholder and to be legally valid it has to be

    registered on the land registry,

    and have named points of contact, usually a chair and a secretary, but the titles may vary.

    and registration at companies house, rather like a company . (something like "scruffy street flats commonhold association")

    (even if the address companies house hold to write to  is just c/o a solicitor's office, there has to be one.)

    The detail is not your problem, but pass the electrics in the flat ( if they are OK) but a short letter needs to be forwarded to the freeholder/ commonhold association chairman or whoever. Perhaps the flat owner can take it to the next meeting.

    Mike.
