He has explained to me that being NIC/EIC permits him to certify his own installation work when complete. He explained that he is unable to legally provide a certificate for...

Some Managing Agents have asked me to do a 'Landlords safety check' on a rented property.

"It was only £50 last year"

Around 2 hours was the reply.
There is no way a PIR could be...
