WAR IN UKRAINE NEW CONSUMER UNIT REQUIRED

A friend of the family and their next door neighbor are hosting Ukrainian families under the government scheme.

One of the government conditions is to have a satisfactory EICR along with other conditions like window stays for upstairs windows as the families have children. Both houses have failed an I&T as they need 2 new consumers units., I of course am suspicious. They are being fitted today.

For my part If any one is going to house Ukrainians under the government scheme, in Essex, I would do a free EICR as my small contribution. Perhaps others might want to join me in offering this service for free?

  • Unfortunately the standard of electrical installations in owner occupied UK homes is very low, as I am constantly witnessing first hand.

    Such as this installation I saw on Tuesday with the original VIR cables installed in 1956.

    Agreed ... but best be careful before someone asks where all the piles of bodies are. Zipper mouth
