Chris D · Eccleston
★★★★★
Rental property inspection due before new tenants arrived. Booked Thursday, done Friday morning, certificate in my inbox by 5pm. Tenant moved in Saturday. Couldn't ask for better service!
Jennifer L · Rainhill
★★★★★
Selling our house, estate agent recommended getting EICR done early. Found old rewirable fuses in the garage. They explained options clearly, no scare tactics. Upgraded to modern consumer unit, all sorted.
Michael P · Newton-le-Willows
★★★★★
Bought 1930s semi in Newton, previous owner hadn't tested electrics in decades. Inspector was brilliant - thorough but explained everything in plain English. Few issues but nothing major. Great peace of mind.
