[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 491820, member: 1408"] I presume you are talking about the lighting Dave . ? I wouldn't worry about it , just look out a sticker stating no earth in the lighting , check there are no metal fittings or switches , check that the wiring is PVC & include a note in your cert . . If its rubber it's really passed it's sell by date . Prefabs were erected following World War 2 as a temporary answer to the housing shortage , so if erected in 1950 , wired in rubber , it should have been rewired by 1968 - 70 . For elderly people the thought of a rewire or any major works is often a big deal , upsetting , the cost , the mess etc. Into the 1960's lighting was often wired in PVC singles , red & black 6181Y ( No earth) Important thing with older folk is to comply with the "Accessible consumer unit" for resetting MCBs when a lamp blows .
