If you text them before you arrive, they can have the kettle boiled before you get there25 minutes is disgusting. i take at least 30 minutes to get from the van to the front door.

But this is the 'modern way'... as long as you have a certificate, then that's fine... you're covered. It happens in all walks of life, not just with EICRs. This approach can work... but as we've already mentioned, it needs to be policed. The various trade bodies should be doing this... with some of the money from the exorbitant annual fees !!Landlords want safe but cheap in my experience. as long as they get their safety cert they are happy.
But the trade bodies are directly competing for those fees, so have no pressure to cancel memberships unless forced to by some outside body overseeing them - and that would need money to setup, so we end up back with the mess we started at.But this is the 'modern way'... as long as you have a certificate, then that's fine... you're covered.

As soon as they start to call people out, cancel memberships and maybe have the odd prosecution... you've see a dramatic improvement overnight !
ok ok ok... I'll do some then... visual check of the EICR only... £10 each one... I can't say fairer than that.Not sure who that body would be - maybe an online forum of professionals? ?
Just spoke to another landlord who claims £90 is the going rate for a 2 bed apartment and it should take 1.5 hours inclusive of the paperwork .
This is a question not just my opinion etc ! To arrive at property and then find out or be shown where the basics are etc .Then to drop plates etc , do bond/earthing , lights etc . RCD (ok..thats quick) and paperwork . All in a 1.5 hours Thats bloody fast ?He is probably about right
I saw a local sparks on facebook bragging that they can do 8-10 EICRs a day and is making about a grand a day doing so
Is this a two man team though? you can have someone running around resetting rcd's, screwing faceplates back etc while the spark does the technical stuff (pressing buttons)This is a question not just my opinion etc !
