Ok well thank you all for your advise. I wont be uploading the EICR as It would be too much to blank out names etc. I'm not keen on doing that. If I get several estimates from several electricians then I will be able to compare cost. I will ask them all about the overhead supply. Tony S your...

I do have a copy of the EICR but do not wish to upload it at the moment. As I mentioned earlier I was uneasy with the report hence getting another electrician in after the fuse situation the other day. Whether or not you are able to give anymore advise on the supply cable situation anymore then...

Well he pointed at it with a problematic look on his face. Does he have a responsibility to disconnect this or do I need to instruct him to do that? I don't really want anything bad to happen, I might move the gas barbecue bottle from inside tonight.

Yes I saw the meter in the white box at the end of the lane when the DNO turned up. There is also a rusty looking switch that I can turn all the power on and off, I believe this is where the guy replaced the fuse. The electrician that turned up after has indicated that a buried cable would be...

Thanks for your responses. A condition report was completed but we think the electrician who did it was a family relative of the previous owner and is no longer trading as I searched for his name but could not find anything. Anyway, according to the report everything was ok, however the...
