[QUOTE="Luckyboy, post: 541753, member: 34072"] Hello all I'm doing some remedial work following an unsatisfactory EICR I carried out. One of the things to do is to provide mechanical protection to the cables entering the consumer unit. They were simply lashed in through the knockouts without any grommet or gland. The property is currently tenanted (HMO) so minimal disruption is preferred. My ideal solution would be to remove said cables from the consumer unit completely and start from scratch, installing compression glands or fire grommets. This would take 1-2 hours. Another way would be to install grommet strip but we all know that comes off sooner or later. Has anyone else got a quicker way which is just as effective? Ta. [/QUOTE]
