Accepted Answer

The report will list C1 (danger now) and C2 (potentially dangerous) items, plus FI where more checking is needed.

Question 11

One electrician in Kingsteignton says rewire, another says new board. Who's right?

Accepted Answer

Ask both for test results, not opinions. An EICR shows insulation readings and earthing for each circuit, which settles it. If the readings are good, a new board at around £580 is fine. If they're poor or the cable is rubber-covered, budget for a rewire nearer £5,200.

Question 12

My Kingsteignton new build has an electrical fault. Is it the builder's job?

In the first two years, usually yes. Report it to the developer under the builder warranty before paying anyone. After that, a local electrician is often quicker. Keep the original Electrical Installation Certificate, as it helps when anything is added later.
