Project Overview
Electricians4London recently completed a series of electrical remedial works at a landlord's property in Winchmore Hill, North London, following an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
The inspection identified that the existing consumer unit no longer complied with current electrical safety standards and required replacement. Our experienced electricians carried out all recommended remedial works, installed a new consumer unit with the latest safety features and completed comprehensive testing to ensure the installation complied with the latest BS 7671 Wiring Regulations (18th Edition).
Once the work was completed, the landlord received the appropriate electrical certification, giving confidence that the installation was safe, compliant and suitable for continued use.
The Electrical Problem
During the landlord's EICR, several observations were identified that required remedial work before the installation could fully comply with current electrical safety standards.
The primary issue was an outdated consumer unit that lacked modern protective devices required under the latest wiring regulations. Older fuse boards often do not provide the level of protection expected in today's electrical installations and may not adequately safeguard occupants against electric shock, overloads or electrical faults.
As the property was being maintained as a rental property, it was important that all remedial work was completed promptly to help satisfy landlord electrical safety obligations.
Our Solution
After safely isolating the electrical installation, our electricians removed the existing consumer unit and installed a new metal-clad consumer unit complete with:
- Individual RCBO protection for every circuit
- Integrated surge protection device (SPD)
- Modern labelling and circuit identification
- Improved fault protection
- Full compliance with BS 7671 Wiring Regulations
Once the installation was complete, we carried out a full programme of electrical inspection and testing, including verification of all circuits and protective devices. Following satisfactory test results, the installation was recommissioned, and the required electrical certification was issued to the landlord.
The completed upgrade provides improved electrical safety, enhanced fault protection and greater reliability for the property's electrical installation.
Why This Matters
Electrical remedial works identified during an EICR should always be completed without unnecessary delay to ensure an installation remains safe and compliant.
Replacing an outdated consumer unit provides several important benefits, including:
- Improved protection against electric shock
- Enhanced overload and fault protection
- Individual RCBO protection for each circuit
- Protection against transient overvoltages with surge protection
- Improved reliability of the electrical installation
- Compliance with current electrical regulations
- Greater peace of mind for landlords and tenants
For rental properties, completing EICR remedial works helps landlords meet their legal responsibilities while maintaining a safe living environment for tenants.
