ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CONDITION REPORT. LIMITATIONS.

Page 519 of B.S. 7671 18th Edition.

We do not normally inspect cables hidden under floorboards, concealed in walls or in roof spaces. Perhaps we should despite the disruption. I have just carried out an inspection and test of an old bungalow where Mr. Bodger was the previous owner. I have found many horrors. I had to dismantle some woodwork in the corner of a room where the cupboard contained numerous dangerous horrors, including the item pictured below. It supplied an immersion heater in the loft. I had to gain access to the cupboard to extend cables and provide correct junction boxes to replace choc-block joints.

  • If I suspected foul play under the floorboards and uncovered that little bundle, I would then ask myself the possible cause. However, If when making a routine inspection, including having a jolly good old sniff, I would have passed this one over.

    What do you mean Legh. Left it as it is?

    It may have started a fire and then the customer may have "passed over."
