Beware - Home Report din't include this...Visited a Client who moved to a bigger house a reasonably modern house around 1990s build, however., they asked me to carry out an inspection when they found a loose socket. We did a visual inspection finding a few issues including: spur switch supplying the central heating had half its backbox missing - it wasn't even screwed to the wall and supply cables were lying loose. A number of socket faces are loose, and by a few mm so gap visible. Light fitting coming away from the ceiling. Also a Light Switch wasn't even screwed to its backbox, One of the most disturbing was a fused spur with cover on fuse missing exposing the fuse, this was live.The previous owner had also installed external lights on a timer and we have still to find this or a simple way to isolate.. There was also other faults, electrical showers didn't work properly (and wired incorrectly) and plumbing faults that needed professionally rectified.
So when looking at a new house do you look as close to see the faults and what you might have to do to bring it up to a standard that your Lifestyle and more importantly Safety requires. Rely on a Professional for Advice.
Customer was looking to upgrade fusebox and check on electrical system
Carried out in the nick of time, the meter tail connections were badly corroded and fell apart when I went near with screwdriver to remove
Customer was delighted and can sleep safely at night.
