EICR remedials and consumer-unit replacement at a Camberwell flat
The property and EICR findings
This job involved a three-bedroom flat in Camberwell. An EICR had identified several items requiring remedial work before the installation could receive a satisfactory outcome.
The existing bonding conductors to both the gas and water services were undersized at 6 mm². A number of downlights also had single-insulated conductors exposed at their connections. The planned remedial work included replacing the consumer unit, renewing the bonding conductors and enclosing the affected downlight connections.
Work completed in one day
New 10 mm² bonding conductors were run to the gas and water services. The exposed downlight connections were placed inside Chocbox enclosures so that the single-insulated conductors were no longer left exposed at the connection points.
The consumer unit was replaced as part of the same full-day visit. The approved photographs document the original unit, the downlight connection before and after enclosure, the replacement consumer unit and testing during the work.
Testing and documentation
After the remedial work was completed, the installation was retested. An Electrical Installation Certificate was issued for the consumer-unit replacement.
The EICR was then updated to a satisfactory outcome and sent to the customer.
