    Find an energy certificate - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

    All the surveyors have had the same training and qualification, they also use the same criterion, the standardised report forms are completed, filed and accessible online.

    Because I am a working electrician I am out and about working with trades people and surveyors from many disciplines.

    Whilst I have been doing electrical work and inspections I have worked alongside Chartered Surveyors, valuers, EPC assessors, inventory clerks and others undertaking undertaking surveys in many homes, so I know how they do things.

    I have also actually been working in homes whilst another electrician is there undertaking work and even preparing EICRs, generally electricians have not been adequately trained to prepare EICRs, there is a massive skills gap and the way the reports are presented is often a disgrace.
