[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 3380, member: 250"] Inspection first definatley the way to go M8:) Cost: it is very much a labour rate thing, size of property (i.e. No of circuits) and where you are in the country; a really bad house would typicaly be quicker that one that is sort of mostley ok. cuz on a bad property you cannot do some of the test's. for example.. there is a thing called earth loop impeadance... which if you aint got earths on all circuits you cant do the tests so is a bit quicker. make sure whoever does the inspection is a member of one off the recongnised electrical contracting bodies: NICEIC ELECSA NAPIT BSI BRE (generally the first 3 are the most well known) Make sure also that who does it IS qualified to City & Guilds 2391 ('inspection & testing of electrical installations'). I am in the Midlands, when asked I typically advise it could be half to one day labour, plus a bit of admin for writing up the report ..... typlically somewhere form [/QUOTE]
