[QUOTE="shadowpartner, post: 559475, member: 38147"] Hey everyone, so I was able to get another EICR done which I'll attach in this post (all sensitive info has been removed). The electrician who did this second EICR recommended the following remedial work: [LIST] [*]Supply and install new consumer unit with RCBO protection for all circuits [*]Supply and install 4x batton holders in basement [*]Supply and install plastic light fitting for garden [*]Supply and install plastic light fitting for kitchen [*]Supply and install plastic light fitting for hallway [*]Supply and install 3x single sockets in lounge [*]Supply and install 1x double socket in lounge [*]Supply and install 4x single sockets on first floor [*]Supply and install new bulkhead on landing [*]Supply and install new light fitting above sink in bedroom [*]Supply and install plastic light fitting in bedroom to replace metal fan light [*]Supply and install 2x battery powered smoke alarms for hallway and landing [*]Supply and install heat alarm in Kitchen [*]Install main earth directly from service head to consumer unit [*]Possible fault finding of live-earth fault on downstairs lights circuit They quoted me £1246.50 to do the above work - does this seem reasonable? I'm also still wondering how bad are the readings that he has taken down specifically to do with the earthing as the numbers don't mean an awful lot to me. Again any input on this would be greatly appreciated. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
