Keeping electrical safety in check

Letting agents and landlords benefiting from our expertise

17th August 2020

With new legislation having recently been introduced to make it compulsory for electrical safety checks to be carried out on all rented properties in the UK, here at MS Electrical we're taking a large number of calls from letting agents and private landlords needing to achieve compliance. We’re now busy helping them comply with their PAT testing, fixed wire testing and emergency lighting testing across their rental portfolios - from HMOs to flats and houses - in a Covid-safe manner.

We're very proud to be working with a number of leading letting agents in Cambridge. including Belvoir, with whom we have developed a fantastic working relationship. Having started by testing one or two of the rented properties they manage, we now carry out EICRs, PAT testing and emergency lighting testing across their entire Cambridge portfolio. We know that we're a valued part of their team, as the following testimonial confirms.

'We have worked with MS Electrical for 18 months to carry out all different electrical works on properties we look after. This ranges from fixed wire testing to PAT testing, and changing a light bulb if needed! The service they offer is professional and they are very quick to produced a comprehensive report to make sure we are in line with safety standards. I would recommend the services of MS Electrical to anyone looking for a company you can trust.’

As Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical, confirms, testimonials such as Belvoir’s mean the world. ‘We pride ourselves on providing a very high level of service, and it's always gratifying to have our clients confirm that we're doing everything right,’ comments Mark. ‘We’re conscious that the rental sector is undergoing a huge amount of change at the moment, and we’re very keen to hear from letting agents and landlords in and around Cambridge who need help with bringing their electrical safety testing up to scratch.'

At MS Electrical we specialise in keeping landlords’ and letting agents’ electrical safety in check by offering PAT testing, fixed wire testing and emergency lighting testing in Cambridge.
