Your answers Gentlemen, please. This is indicating a serious problem in the Industry. Trust is now zero. I am disgusted with the behavior of these alleged "inspectors" who are dim, dumb, deaf and blind, and cannot read the BBB. It is not good enough is it?
There should be a standard assessment procedure for electricians to complete landlords electrical safety reports to ensure compliance with a defined set of requirements and these reports should be produced by skilled and qualified electricians with experience of working in domestic properties who have had specific training and qualifications for producing these reports.
These electricians should be individually registered with a competent person scheme who should monitor quality of reporting and adjudicate if complaints are raised.
If landlords and letting agents had ensured that the electrical installations in the rented homes under their control are in satisfactory condition without being pushed into having to get a compulsory EICR this would just be a tick box exercise.
We, electricians, are not going to do anything about the standard of reporting, the only organisation that can change anything is the government, no one else can take control of the process.
