Yea, business is up and running. I'm not going to be taking on any work until February, although the requirement for SELECT membership for Landlord work is giving me a bit of a chicken and egg situation. I want to trade solely in testing and inspection, but SELECT need 3 projects to assess.

Matey - you should update your profile to include Scotland - so when you ask more questions the answers can be more appropriate to you!

Have done that now, Murdoch.

Why just testing and inspection?

And what requirement is that? I do a fair bit of work for letting agents and I'm not a SELECT member?

I'm going by the advice on the law change that happened this month...

Scottish Landlords | Electrical Safety First

The person who conducts the checks must be employed by a firm that is a member of an accredited registration scheme operated by a body recognised by the Scottish Government

And, what I meant was dealing with testing and inspection initially, I'll need to see how the client take up is and assess whether it's enough to keep me going or if I need to broaden my horizons.

If you're dong inspections for landlords now, are you having to do PAT testing for them or is the requirement generally just EICR? According to that advice, PAT tests must be done at the same time as the EICR.

Thanks for for the info, I knew about the changes just not the scheme part, looks like they've managed to wangle more business surprise surprise, looks like I'll have to join one then, was going to join Stroma, made the enquiries, but was asked for £280 before I had spoken to anyone or even asked what the requirements were so I told them where to go. I will be going with the cheapest though as it's all a bit of a farce!

Yeah I PAT whatever needs doing, generally there isn't much as landlords don't tend to leave many items for use apart from washing machines and sometimes fridge freezers.

I wouldn't try and stick to just T&I mate, advertise for it but I would think you'd need to do a bit of everything to earn a crust, EICR's take up about 10-20% of my work, plus the variety is better, you'll crack up just doing the one thing lol!
