SJ Building Group – Protecting Homeowners With REAL Electrical Safety
Over the past few months, we’ve been called out to newly purchased homes where buyers were handed a “Satisfactory” EICR… only for us to discover major electrical faults, dangerous wiring, and installations that should NEVER have passed an inspection.
And we’re not talking about small issues.
We’re talking about:
• 🔴 Exposed live conductors hidden behind switches
• 🔴 Incorrectly joined cables inside unsafe junction boxes
• 🔴 Overloaded circuits with no RCD protection
• 🔴 DIY wiring buried in walls
• 🔴 Earth bonding missing or disconnected
• 🔴 Burnt terminals and overheated connections
These are faults that put families at risk — and yet the paperwork said “all good”.
Unfortunately, many of our clients were misled with EICRs that were rushed, incomplete, or simply not genuine. Some were even issued without the inspector removing a single faceplate.
This is why we’re stepping in.

📌 Real Example (from this week):
A client bought a home with a “clean” EICR.
Once we opened the switches and junction boxes, we found:
• Melted terminals
• Incorrect cable colours mixed together
• Loose earths
• Wires twisted together and taped
• No RCD protection on bathroom circuits
• A live conductor sitting behind a metal faceplate
This installation was dangerous — and the buyer had no idea.
