Transparency
Working with transparency is part of our ethos at CT Electrical Compliance. This is how we have found we work best, as well as being able to build long standing relationships with our customers. With our vast experience, it is important to us to be upfront and honest with our customers when carrying out work for them.
At CT Electrical Compliance we are focused on delivering an honest and transparent service to all of our customers. We understand that with any electrical inspection and testing, it can be worrying what the engineer may find, and also how much it is going to cost in order to remedy the situation.
To relieve this uncertainty, we have created a schedule of rates so that you have a list of fixed prices. This list of prices has been built around the most common problematic areas that we have come across in our experience. This enables us to provide complete transparency during the quotation stage and throughout the process.
To further enhance our transparent working process we also photograph any electrical equipment that may be faulty or have issues. This is then sent along with our report to our customers, from which we can then explore ways in which we can remedy the issue.
Once the work is completed we then photograph again to ensure you can see the progress we have made. This enables us to demonstrate the work we are doing, and also reassure the client that it has been carried out. All of the work we carry out is after the approval process to ensure no surprises along the way.

Landlords' Responsibilities
Wherever you live in the UK, as a landlord you have an obligation to make sure that your tenants have homes that are safe to live in.
Our guidance explains your responsibilities for making sure that your rental properties are electrically safe and offers practical advice to help you keep your tenants safe. Our leaflets are free to download and offer advice and guidance about your legal obligations to help you keep your tenants safe.

Five Yearly Electrical Checks
We recommend that wherever you are in the UK, and whatever the tenure of your property, you should have the electrical installation checked by a suitably qualified person, like a registered electrician, every five years.
Following the inspection, the registered electrician will issue you with an Electrical
Installation Condition Report (EICR) which will either formally declare that the installation is safe for continued use, or highlight any suggested or urgent repairs that need to be made. This gives you the peace of mind that your tenants and properties are electrically safe.
This is a legal requirement in England (privately rented homes) and Scotland (privately and socially rented homes) and is due to be introduced in Wales in July 2022 (privately and socially rented homes) – guidance has recently been published on the Welsh Government’s website. You can find out more about landlord obligations for each nation on the relevant page, by clicking on the links at the bottom of the page. If your property is in Northern Ireland, we strongly recommend that you carry out five yearly electrical checks as part of your obligation to keep your tenants safe.
