Yep, but it is not high integrity as it is sold, would need RCBO's to be high integrity (description is wrong)

I use the VML910CU as these take RCBO's as well (the CU means they are configurable so do split RCD plus non protected / RCBO circuits.

I'm not looking to buy the units. Just a link to whether those units are suitable
Which make and model unit would you recommend with ones with 100A / 30mA RCDs ?

Why are you looking to buy the items- you are then liable for any shortfalls
For example if someone booked an electrician to change a consumer unit (client supplying materials) and the consumer unit went faulty the client would have to pay the electrician to attend
If parts were missing who pays for the labour for the failed visit?
Can of worms
I use the ones with 100A / 30mA RCDs regualtions
Stick to a decent make in all your properties then the instructions for resetting are all the same.

If I was to replace the old units, would it make the most sense to replace with 18th edition consumer units?
I found this link.. which would do the job for a three bedroom flat. Any advice/recommendations appreciated

Do you mean that the NICEIC guarantees the works it's registered members undertake? Do you have a link?

I'm planning to go with NAPIT listed people as NAPIT guidance is helpful for landlords.

Third electrician had this to say about the report done by the first electrician:
The one you had done, had these following issues:
Addresses filled in incorrect boxes. Client/Site.
Limitations not observed or noted.
Observations limited to ONLY the consumer unit.
No extent of sampling identified. 100%?
No comment on earthing & bonding.
Supply polarity not tested.
No listing of main switch BS No. Rating.
Check box for generating sets or secondary supplies ticked despite no PV array.
Schedule of items inspected does not at all reflect to the installation I inspected briefly.
Circuits not adequately detailed or labelled.
No R1+R2 tests done.
No insulation resistance tests.
*this list is not all that is missing from the prior EICR.
So we've paid for a pretty much a worthless and invalid report.

I have had two more electricians visit one of the flats (Property No 2) and he says the first electrician was over quoting what had to be done to pass it, that an RCBO was not needed or a new unit. Saying that he could upgrade the unit with an RCD, change the fuses etc and get the two other smaller jobs done with a certificate for £850. vs what the first electrician quoted at 1,320 + 250 (the powerpoint to the power shower wasn't powerful enough apparently) = £1,570. So that's almost half the price.
Also, the report the first electrician did, wrote the wrong address for each report, ie. he mixed them up. Doesn't that invalidate them?
Waiting for the third electrician to visit and come back with their quote.

Im a bit concerned about water supply so i am thinking of a gravity system with storage tanks in the roof, as opposed to a mains pressure system. What are peoples thoughts regarding Legionella, and suitability. It will be a completely new system with...

Reply to Water systemsA pressurised cylinder would be possible, there could be oodles of hot water and as you are buying from new you could get one that has a coil in it to heat from gas / oil / air source as well as immersion heaters as a back up (these could use off peak or solar panels)
If you have a decent...-

Reply to Water systemsby WaterboyWith regards Legionella, the general rule is that if you don’t need stored water, then don’t store water. Direct mains cold and a mains fed combi-boiler are the ideal
set up in small to regular sized domestic dwellings. It really just depends how many rooms with water facilities and how many...-

by HarryHHHHi all,
I have a bit of a dilemma and was wondering what do next…
I have a rental property, 3 bed mid terrace under a shorthold assured tenancy.
I need to provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). It is inevitable that this will mean that extensive...-

by Jon66In fairness to the OP, although we have had fair notice of the legislation, nobody envisioned a pandemic, and where finding a decent electrician has sometimes been challenging at the best of times, it's even more challenging at the moment. I had mine done in the summer, and there was a window in between...

by darkstarAgreed , The EICR's were not nessasary. However it's a landlord's job to know that the electrical safety of their installations are mandatory and hiding behind a 3rd party is insufficient

There has always been a safety aspect for landlords to adhere to regarding fixed wiring. If LL's had paid more attention to this then there would not be the backlog of EICR and remedial's to do. Sadly, most leave it very late and this will only cause problems-

by jpucng62The Govt gave plenty of notice IMHO. I've been doing EICRs for 20 years as part of understanding the safety of my properties - maybe not every 5 years, but when you hear stories like this you realise why the legislation has been brought in and now we all have to do them every 5 years.
