PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE & ANALYSIS
🚨
IMMEDIATE HAZARDS - ACTION REQUIRED
EXPIRED
Kitchen - Heat Alarm Expiry (Fire Safety Warning)
Location: Kitchen CeilingBS 7671 Regulation: Part C1 equivalent (5839-6 operational life limit)
The kitchen heat detector has a manufacturer date stamp of May 2014. Operational lifespan is restricted to 10 years by the manufacturer. Expired sensors cannot be guaranteed to operate correctly in emergency situations, creating a critical safety hazard.
Required Action: Replace the heat alarm unit immediately with an interlinked BS EN 14604 compliant mains-powered detector.
⚠️
WARNINGS & RECOMMENDED UPGRADES
NO SPD
Consumer Unit - Surge Protection Device (SPD) Missing
Location: Main Hallway CupboardBS 7671 Regulation: Chapter C3 equivalent (Section 443 transient overvoltage protection)
The consumer unit is a modern metal-clad dual RCD board, but does not feature an integral Surge Protection Device (SPD). Current UK BS 7671 wiring standards require SPDs to defend electronic equipment from overvoltage spikes caused by supply faults or lightning transients.
Recommended Upgrade: Have a registered electrician retro-fit an SPD module to protect home electronics.
Earthing & Utilities - Gas Main Bonding Label Missing
Location: External Gas Meter BoxBS 7671 Regulation: Regulation C3 equivalent (Section 514 safety labelling requirements)
The protective equipotential bonding conductor is clamped to the gas pipe correctly, but the mandatory safety notification label ("SAFETY ELECTRICAL CONNECTION - DO NOT REMOVE") is missing.
Recommended Upgrade: Apply a compliant safety label clamp to prevent accidental disconnection.
Bathroom - Extractor Fan Local Isolation Switch Missing
Location: Bathroom Ceiling/Enclosure OuterBS 7671 Regulation: Regulation C3 equivalent (Section 537 local isolation devices)
The bathroom extractor fan is wired directly into the lighting loop without a local 3-pole fan isolator switch, preventing isolation for maintenance without turning off the entire lighting circuit.
Recommended Upgrade: Install a 3-pole fan isolator switch outside the bathroom entrance.
✅
COMPLIANT INSTALLATIONS - SATISFACTORY
Incoming Supplies - Service Cut-out & Meter Seals
Location: Main Service Entry PointBS 7671 Regulation: Chapter 13 satisfactory
The main cut-out service fuse (100A) and electrical service head are clean and dry. Meter tails are 25mm² double-insulated, and physical supplier security seals are intact on both the meter and the cutout enclosure.

EICR LIMITATION POLICY
Does this replace an EICR?
No. Importantly, Check My Electrics™ does not replace nor supersede an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR).
A full EICR remains the recommended route where a complete electrical inspection, testing and certification process is required.
Check My Electrics™ provides a fast, affordable, non-invasive visual electrical overview based on client-supplied photographs. The service is designed for homeowners, buyers, sellers, landlords and property professionals who want a clearer understanding of the visible condition of an electrical installation before committing to further inspections, purchases or remedial works.
The report helps identify visible electrical concerns, potential safety issues and areas that may require further investigation by a qualified electrician, providing an early-stage insight into the overall visible condition of the installation.
