[QUOTE="phil whitehouse, post: 73382, member: 5165"] British Gas electrical inspections are a a visual only, and judging by one I looked at after this inspection they obviously employ Stevie Wonder to do this job, they stated that there was no bonds to gas and water (10mm's located about 2m from DB) and that there was no RCD protection (which was correct) but missed the two 2.5mm radials that were on 30Amp rewireables, the 4.0mm shower supply with what looks like a bit of 1.5mm solid core as a fuse element as well as numerous broken accessories throughout the installation which should have been obvious on a visual inspection even without bothering to test the circuits.I think special locations idea for householders to save their own money and then employ a REPUTABLE electrician when they need one would probably be more economical than these schemes as long as they realise that if there is any doubt about the standard of the installation they would be better off starting with a full periodic which should give them an idea of what problems they need to resolve before it becomes an emergency call out.
