I need to have wiring looked at in a house I want to buy as surveyer flagged it up in the bathroom so need official report so for current tenants to ensure they fix or add on so I can have fixed before purchase . Apparently open wires along copper piping are hazodous in the bathroom

Hi I would suggest getting an electrician to carry out an electrical condition inspection report on the property. This will pick up any problems you may have and will issue you with a report on the condition and if anything needs rectifying or improving. What do you mean when you say "open wires" Also as a landlord you have an obligation to ensure the property is safe. If your in Lancashire I could sort this for you. Just contact me Hope this helps

Yes of course they are. If the insulation went bare and touched a copper pipe that was carrying water to say the shower you are using you would be fried. Just trunk them off.

What would you like to do now?
