Would be interesting to do a proper one... then send both to the NICEIC or whatever body he's with... see if they do anything about it. Tell them you'll send the verdict in The Daily Mail.

THis has crossed my mind. Today was a " evidence gathering day" They left the check far too late .The 1st April was some time ago. I have evidence of his time in the property .NO plates /sockets removed . Not even a full visual. It was "one socket per room test " and a RCD test . This whole scheme was a farce and its never ever going to be policed . And every property management company can easily find someone to "Be a spark for a hour" and get someone else to copy and paste the document .This is how bad he was.... NOT One screw driver !! Just a Kewtech and a plug/wire/socket lead . I want to see the documents and who signed them first . Old saying "never go to war hungry"

Not sure the usual "no damage to decor" limitation would excuse not removing that one...

I've been surprised by how much the reading can vary on outlets on the same faceplate...

The one benefit of testing on a non-RCD property - the Zs test is so much quicker!

If/When they do bother to chase things up and hand out any fines, it will likely be to individual landlords, rather than the big boys who have the money to put up an appeal if necessary and pick holes in the law....

A few of mine have slipped into April, but there are 'best effort' reasons for that generally with tenants being difficult or having medical issues.

I'm guessing you're planning on taking it further then? Good for you if you are.

I will await the certs arriving .Then Call the council Get it logged and ask for an immediate inspection as I believe this is very very common . And 10000's of tenants are been put at risk by greedy landlords
