[QUOTE="Dunx, post: 352361, member: 13433"] Did an a Eicr some time back and found the following issues. 1) couldn't find binding to CW , did find a random length of 10mm next to earth clamp but gave a tug and not connected. C2 2) combi boiler in kitchen was mounted next to outside wall leaving aprrox 150 mm gap between boiler and wall. Dangling down this gap were cables for spur and main JB. All t/e type cabling. There was single insulation showing and trapped behind metal cover plate. No access to either accessory for maintenance. C2 3) Unenclosed bathroom light, outside of zones but easily touchable from floor. C2 I also did a c1 repair whilst I was there, broken lamp holder showing bare terminals. Advisory, one battery smoke alarm in the incorrect position. I charged 105 for the test and rework and landlord refused to pay. Went on for months and they finally agreed to pay, came back from holiday expecting a cheque on the mat....zilch! Emailed customer and they said 'we have had the property retested by a reputable (puke) company and they have passed it!' So I went back thinking that this reputable ( puke again) company had done the rework, but no nothing done. Their EICR was blank of comments, I have been back and taken photos and recently found out that the gas fitter has also commented on gas safety record about electrician required to sort wiring next to boiler.
