Apologies for the rush.
Friend is viewing a house (currently a rental) and trying to price up
any work.
The two pictures are the wiring (fuse box etc.) and the boiler.
Don't know if it is a system or a combi boiler but the mechanical
timer makes it look old. As far as we can tell the house was
refurbished in 2006 but both the boiler and the wiring look much
older.
I am assuming that the wiring is at least safe as it is a rental and
there seem to be notices of testing on the meter.
It looks like the fuse board is run via a Memara RCD main switch, the
style of which was used around 10 years ago. That would suggest that the
electrics cannot be that bad or it would be tripping.
Normally a domestic property would get a ten year date on the sticker
before the next inspection. And tested on 17/-9/2017? Just as the
property went on the market by any chance?
The new CU looks like a Square D CU. The were bought out by Schneider
about 10 years ago. So possibly the new CU went for a couple of new
circuits at the same time as the RCD main switch during the refurb.
I suppose your friend could ask to see a copy of the test sheets.
Thanks.
Need to get an offer accepted first. :-)
As far as I know the property went on the market some time last year but
didn't sell. Timing and reasons still not clear. It has only recently
(weeks) come on the market this year.
History suggests it had a major structural refurbish around 2005/06 which
would time in with the age of the RCD.
Still getting my heads around the pictures.
Will upload to the FAQ.
Cheers
