Keeping electrical safety in check

Keeping Cambridge tenants safe

29th October 2020

Here at MS Electrical we’re very much focused on keeping electrical safety in check, and the recent change in legislation regarding safety testing within the private rented sector has led to us carrying out fixed wire testing and PAT testing in hundreds of rented properties across Cambridge in the last six months.

We’re still receiving enquiries from landlords and letting agents who need to ensure that the properties they manage are all compliant, but also who are looking to build a long-term relationship with an electrical safety testing company that they can rely on.

To that end, we’re thrilled to have strengthened our already excellent relationship with Cambridge Property Lettings even further, such that we are now their go-to partner for fixed wire and PAT testing across their portfolio.

As their feedback confirms, it’s our efficiency and reliability that have impressed the CPL team:

'We have been extremely pleased with the service provided by MS Electrical. In all our dealings with them they have proven to be efficient, reliable and a pleasure to deal with. We would not hesitate to recommend their services.'

Mark Smith, owner of MS Electrical, sees the value in building strong relationships with all clients, and especially those that operate within the lettings market. ’Taking on a rental property is a huge commitment for a landlord or letting agent. As well as ensuring that what is to be someone’s home is in good decorative order and is equipped with all the appliances and mod cons that today’s tenants expect, there is a duty of care to make sure that they will be able to move in with confidence and continue to live there in safety. Over the years we’ve seen some real horror stories so we were delighted when the new legislation was passed, and we’re now passionate about protecting tenants and assisting landlords and letting agents in Cambridge to achieve and maintain compliance. An Electrical Installation Condition Report - or EICR - is a very simple document, but it really can be a life saver.’

MS Electrical Services offer PAT testing and fixed wire testing for landlords and letting agents in Cambridge so please contact us to request a no-obligation quotation.
