LONDON BRENT CROSS FLIP OUT ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION AND REMEDIAL WORKS

FCR Electrical on site at Brent Cross fit out

FCR Electrical had been recommended by one of the fit our contractors who was working on the Brent Cross Flip out trampoline venue. Flip Out needed some urgent electrical remedial works completing whilst the main fit out was being carried out following on from an unsatisfactory EICR report.

What Is An EICR Inspection?

If you are wondering what an EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report is. An EICR is an electrical report carried out on an electrical installation to evaluate if the installation is in a safe enough condition for it’s continued use.

There are laws and rules in place as when an EICR should be carried out and how often. Your insurance company may also have their own recommendations on how often an updated EICR should be carried out

Follow this link to a commercial EICR we carried out earlier in the year https://www.fcrelectrical.co.uk/commercial-eicr-out-of-hours-in-liverpool/

Commercial Electrical Installation Work

Having been asked if we could help within the very tight timeframe to carry out these works, we jumped at the chance.

The initial work involved installing 11 x 16-amp radial circuits within the venue to power the new ginormous inflatable adventure that was being installed, this thing is massive and looks a great bit of fun. This work was carried out during the main fit out works. On completion we provided all the necessary certification to go with the work carried out.

Whilst our team Charlie and James were on site, FCR was approached about the unsatisfactory EICR remedial works that needed to be carried.

If these remedials were not carried out then it could impact the venue on opening, with the kids six weeks holidays only days away FCR jumped into action.

As soon as we had the work order in place, we had the materials sent straight down to site and got working on the list of remedials, the electrical remedial works were completed within four days and a satisfactory electrical EICR report was issued.

Brent Cross is now open for lots of fun.

    COMMERCIAL EICR OUT OF HOURS IN LIVERPOOL

    FCR had the pleasure of providing our client Motor Range in Liverpool with their 5 yearly EICR electrical inspection.

    Why do you need to carry out an EICR?

    An EICR or Electrical Inspection Condition Report is a type of report that evaluates the condition of your electrical installation for safe continued use. Usually an EICR is recommended every five years although it is best to check with your business insurance provider as this can change, we have seen some request an EICR carried out every three years. Caravan sites it is recommended every 12 months!

    Out Of Hours

    This project had to be carried out during the hours that the business is closed. Their opening hours are 9.00am to 8.00pm. There are also many computers in the building so special care needed to be taken to avoid any damage or loss of data.

    Who Are Motor Range?

    Motor Range are a car and van sales outlet based on Dunnings Bridge Road in Merseyside. They are Merseyside’s largest motor vehicle stockists with over 1500 vehicles on site. Their sales staff are experts in the motor industry and were very helpful and friendly to our staff whilst carrying out our EICR. If you are in the market for a new van or car you can check them out here https://www.motorrange.co.uk/

    Our electrical technicians carried the inspection work out over 4 nights along with a further day in our office typing up the report.

    Whilst completing the inspections, it was agreed with the Motor Range management that any remedials found that needed repairing would be carried out at the same time, this will help with cost as all work had to be carried out during closed hours.

    The electrical installation was a new installation being carried out in 2016, the original electrical contractor did a great installation using quality wiring accessories such as Schneider distribution boards and MK sockets and switches. Using quality wiring accessories helps with keeping maintenance costs down in the long run as they are durable and have a longer life under heavy usage.

    On completion of the EICR we issued a satisfactory certificate which is valid for 5 years

    If your business is in need of an EICR electrical condition report please complete our form for more details on how FCR Electrical can help your business stay compliant at a reasonable cost.

      BUNGALOW REWIRE IN FLEETWOOD

      One of our first electrical rewires after the Christmas break was a two bedroomed bungalow in Rossall Fleetwood

      During the sale process our client asked us to carry out a full electrical installation condition report (EICR). An EICR is the best way to determine the condition of the electrical installation of a property, this is very useful if you are about to buy a property as it helps you to determine how much work is involved in bringing the property up to a standard and will help you form a valuation.

      Upon completion of the inspection, the wiring was estimated to be between 40-50 years old, some of the lights had no earth conductor which is common among the bungalow properties in the Rossall area. The consumer unit was very dated and did not offer the required protection having no RCD protection. As the property was to undergo a full refurb, it is best to carry out the rewiring as the first step of the refurb as rewiring your home is one of the largest and dustiest and disruptive works to be carried out.

      Once the purchase was complete Fylde Coast rewires were contracted to carry out a full electrical rewire of the property including the garage, kitchen, power sockets and lighting.

      HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REWIRE YOUR PROPERTY?

      Our clients continued to live in the property whilst the electrical rewire was being carried out, when the property is lived in it usually adds around 1.5 days extra to the work scope due to cleaning up and putting the floor boards and carpets back each evening, this property has taken 4.5 days to completely rewire, there is a day left to complete the kitchen once the new kitchen has been delivered

      The electrical installation of this property is now up to date with the current 18th edition wiring regulations which give our customers peace of mind that they can renovate and decorate their new property without encountering any electrical problems further down the line. See here for current EIT BS7671 wiring regulations https://electrical.theiet.org/bs-7671/

      This electrical installation has been issued with the necessary electrical installation certificates and Part P building control sign off certificate.
