[QUOTE="binky, post: 520636, member: 490"] the book, is a bit rubbish when it comes to old systems. We can't force people to change things when repairing a cct. Whatever was installed 30/40 years ago, was probably correct at time on installation, and the regs aren't retrospective. Fix the fault and advise customer of any other findings. If you want to cover rear end, issue a minor works with that inforamtion on it. If you find something that is an immediate threat, eg exposed live electrics fix it or walk away if the customer refuses to pay for works. We have no power to switch off even in those circumstances, although I've never known a customer to refuse repairs to anything clearly dangerous. [/QUOTE]
