Evening all.
During carrying out a PIR on an ancient property earlier today (full of code 1's) I found that the Supply to the building was not in the best condition.
The house is in the countryside, and is fed by 3 overhead lines attached to the side of the building (high level). From there 3 insulated cables are clipped (all twisted) down the side of the house, through a stone wall (no sleeve) through a doorframe and into the cut out/MET (about 15 metres).
These cables seem to have some sort of cotton braided insulation (not sure what its called)
Ze=0.69
PFC=0.35
PSSC=0.40
2 cables go into the cutout and one goes into the MET.
The supply just looks like a right mess.
Should I mention this on the PIR?
If you where carrying out major works here, would you get the supply checked/replaced?
Cheers.
