Need we say anymore? Visited a rental property today in Wellingborough that had been tested by an NICEIC contractor who isn’t registered to test rental properties. He passed it with no bonding to the gas or water and no RCD protection to the lighting circuits. Even though his invoice stated he had corrected all the faults???

New Year's Resolution...renovation plans? When it comes to electrical work, using a registered and competent electrician is essential to protect your home and loved ones.

When shopping online, especially via online marketplaces involving third-party sellers, it can be easy to fall for deals that seem too good to be true.

Don't risk it this Christmas! 🎄
