Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping electrical safety in check

Landlords' electrical safety checks urgently needed

31st January 2020

The new mandatory electrical safety testing legislation for all rental properties can’t become law quickly enough for some properties. These photos were all taken in one rental property that we inspected recently.

All in all they represent a recipe for potential disaster for the property and, even worse, a severe danger to life!

If you're a letting agent or landlord and you have any questions regarding electrical safety compliance or wish to request a no-obligation quotation for your PAT testing or fixed wire testing in Cambridge, please call us on 01223 850301 or complete our enquiry form.
