Calling all landlords!

5th October 2015

The UK’s leading certification body for the electrical industry – NICEIC – has issued a pack for landlords to highlight that the three major hazards caused by electricity in properties are:

Electric shock
Electrical fire
Electrical burns

These may result from a deterioration over time in the electrical installation and the equipment used within the property. There may also be damage to switches, sockets and other equipment, and they can also be caused by misuse of the installation and equipment itself. Finally, poorly carried out – or even a complete lack of – maintenance can be a contributory factor.

To protect both landlords and tenants from the above risks, NICEIC recommends that an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is carried out every five years, or when there is a change of occupancy. It also recommends that the work is undertaken by a NICEIC-approved contractor, so why not give MS Electrical a call on 01223 850301 / 01353 665106 to book your next EICR?

We are fully accredited by NICEIC, giving you and your tenants greater peace of mind that the properties you let have the highest standards of electrical safety. And as well as carrying out EICRs, we also undertake fixed wire testing and PAT testing in Cambridge, so please contact us to request a quotation.

Testimonials

MS Electrical Services have recently carried out a number of Fixed Wiring Tests on a range of residential properties managed by ourselves for private landlord clients. The process for arranging these works has proved to be very easy with appointments being confirmed promptly upon request. Attendance at the properties has been reliable and consistent, with agreed times ensuring certainty for tenants and landlords over property access. Feedback from tenants has been that staff attending have been courteous and efficient during visits, and inconvenience and disruption kept to a minimum. Inspection reports are delivered promptly after the visits and follow up works clearly identified and costed with quotations included. Landlord clients advise that they are pleased with the reliability aspect and the completeness of the service. They have also remarked on the efficiency with which things are progressed. In light of the above, Award Property Management Ltd will be delighted to continue to engage MS Electrical Services for this work and have no hesitation in recommending their services to those requesting supplier details from us.
