We can offer a survey of your property for £42.00 (£35.00+VAT). If our engineer finds that any carbon monoxide alarms are required within your property, there is an additional cost of £36.00 (£30+VAT) per alarm. These will be fitted at the time of the service in order to satisfy the requirements of the legislation.
Above was a communication from the estate agent that handles a rented property for me. It is in response to new legislation for tenancies commencing September 2024. No problem with the cost or the service but I wonder what sort of “engineer” will conduct the survey? Chartered, MIET, fire safety professional, or just a fella in a beat-up white van who fixes door locks, dripping taps and does a bit of garden tidying etc?
Methinks the title “engineer” has next to no value in some quarters!
