Robert touches on two really important facts. To be clear, your lender will not allow you to use for temporary accommodation. I am not aware of any lenders that allow this. So first call is to bank to check, don’t...

Where are you reading in the regs you don’t need a fan. My understanding is it is mandatory, albeit not retrospective. But in any event, you would be mad not to install a fan. Look at the Nuaire Cyfan. AKA,...

I don’t recall the period, but you should have a hmo licence you can use. You don’t need tenancy agreements. If you’ve not got a licence, beware, they could fine you for running an illegal hmo. You’ll be giving them...

There is not a GDPR issue here. GDPR deals with personal data. You would not need to store any personal information to monitor temperature and control heating.

Reply to the comment left by Justin Lee at 21/10/2022 - 18:42Chapter 42 deals with thermal effects, those regulations are not relevant to the proximity of a gas meter. A gas leak would fill a whole room. Therefore, the turning...

Reply to the comment left by Justin Lee at 21/10/2022 - 18:18I agree with your codes, but what regulation are you relying on to backup your opinion? We all have our own opinions, that's why we need the regs, so...

The regulation is for cables, I recall it's 25mm. I am not aware of a regulation in BS7671:2018. There might be something in the gas regs, but the EICR is not done on those. Ask him for the regulation, it...

Dana I would not trust your first electrician, the comments you have listed do not necessarily require a full rewire. The first electrician is a cowboy. He MUST give you an EICR certificate. You should not be paying him if...

I’m an electrician, 40 years is not old, I’d be amazed if it needs a full rewire. Can you post the full EICR on this post, I’ll let you have my thoughts on the extent of the work.

I've spoken to NAPIT and asked them to clarify the guidance in their publication. They have confirmed 'Daveknowstheregs' is correct, it IS the electricians decision. They are saying the wording in the publication allows the landlord to negotiate with the...

Please refrain from cheap shots, it does not help the debate, but please stay with the debate, we all have a vested interest in concluding what is correct. You are passionate about your belief, please see it through. Back to...
