Exposed: Cash for logos and drive by inspections

Inadequate inspections on the safety of wiring in buildings across England are increasing the risk of fires, E&T has found. A flawed regulatory system has sparked a race to the bottom, with some businesses profiting at the expense of the public’s safety.

  • I have also carried out a survey as some of you kindly submitted the "duff" EICR documents and details of reparations. There was fraud going on left right and centre Andy. Loads of new CUs, loads of false measurements, and not a lot of proper inspections. The job has to be done properly, or not at all. The Government has decided, based on public inquiry reports, that EICRs are required. We now need to sort out the WAY they are done, to make them worthwhile. The schemes are as you saw from Conor's article not really interested. They get their money so all is well. However the names they use say that they are proper controlling bodies, eg NICEIC or Certsure. Is this true? It looks very much as though these are names to give confidence in something that is very dodgy indeed.
