This is a tricky one because i think it depends on local authority.

Ive just done a EICR on a three story HMO with a plastic split load board in the entrance hallway/ stairwell. Fire escape route.

Id usually code as C3 for this and then C3 for type AC aswell but as a HMO isnt the standard higher? Im looking to code as C2 but is that too strict?

I think I should be expecting firesealing, 18th edition board and type As as a minimum?

How often do you find you go to one of the wholesalers and ask for an item, only to be told it doesn’t exist, then having to get your phone out to show them. I think Ive got to the point where I’m going to just give them part numbers.

I know some parts are rare, but I asked for a C25 3P breaker at CEF, and got a response like I’ve made it up.

I think wholesalers staff should do some minimum training so they actually understand the industry. Rant over 😂
