PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE & ANALYSIS
IMMEDIATE HAZARDS - ACTION REQUIRED
Kitchen - Heat Alarm Expiry (Fire Safety Warning)
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.
WARNINGS & RECOMMENDED UPGRADES
Consumer Unit - Surge Protection Device (SPD) Missing
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.
Earthing & Utilities - Gas Main Bonding Label Missing
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.
Bathroom - Extractor Fan Local Isolation Switch Missing
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.
COMPLIANT INSTALLATIONS - SATISFACTORY
Incoming Supplies - Service Cut-out & Meter Seals
The main cut-out service fuse (100A) and electrical service head are clean and dry. Meter tails are 25mm double-insulated, and physical supplier security seals are intact on both the meter and the cutout enclosure.
Lighting Accessories & Bedroom Pendants
Bedroom light fittings, pendant drops, and ceiling roses are in good visual condition. No evidence of cracks, overheating, or exposed conductors. Accessories are secure and fully enclosed.
