Altered Wiring.

The answer to this question should be obvious, but I am looking for the least painful solution.

 

I have undertaken much rewiring at a large house. I have received several stage payments. I am now about to present my final invoice. The client wants “certification”.

The problem is that the electrical installation is not finished. Also the client and his son have added and altered the installation. Some of which I am aware of, but some is hidden.

How would you resolve this situation and keep the client sweet please?

  • You can only produce a EIC for the work you have done. If they want an EICR then you have to do that seperatly.

    I am in a similar position at the moment. I have replaced a number of lights and installed many more in a village hall which required a complete rewire for the replacement and new lights and switches. There is however a lot of the wiring which I have not touched on the modified lighting circuits. Do I do full tests on the old wiring I have not touched? I am fortunate that I did a full test when replacing the consumer unit about 10 years ago.

    The customer needs a full EICR, which I will not be doing, for insurance purposes after I have finished.
