Electrical-safety Certificate-in-London-kent-and-essex

 

It is becoming common practice in homes and the workplace that people use electricians who are not registered to a governing body or who are not qualified within the trade. This is causing common causes of concern as these electricians do not always carry out the work to the required standard requested by the regulations BS7671. All electrical work once completed should always be accompanied by either a electrical installation certificate or a minor works certificate.

 

What type of electrician should I use?

Trade Certificates recommend that you on use a registered NAPIT or NICEIC electrician, this way you have a body to go back to if there is a problem with the electrical work that has been carried out. You can also be sure that you get a electrical safety certificate on completion of the works with outlined surveys which shows the works have had electrical testing done on them so that you know the works are verified.

 

What is electrical Testing?

Electrical Testing is a major part of an electricians trade when it comes to installing electrical equipment and wiring and should always be done on completion of works to verify the competency of the installation, Trade Certificates has done a write up about it last previously and you can find out all you need to know about electrical testing here.

 

When should we get a electrical safety Certificate?

Electrical safety certificates should be provided after any electrical works, if you are having small works done in your property like having a socket changed or a new light fitted then you should ask for a minor works certificate but if you require reiwiring then you should receive a electrical installation certificate. If a electrician does not produce one of these then ensure you request why he has not done this.

Get Gas Safe engineers and Gas Reports “DONT DIY”

Gas reports in London, Kent and Essex

Sometimes you may feel it is easier to just DIY that odd loose nut or even install our oven or hob, here at Trade Certificates we say DONT, there is a lot of reasons behind it and we have explained in further detail below why not to.

Dont DIY with Gas

Believe it or not 1 in 3 people say they would attempt to fit there own gas appliances to save money, this is a dangerous view to have as in some cases gas appliances can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and even carbon monoxide poisoning. In many instances you may think you need a registered gas safe engineer to fit your appliances but we highly recommend as a few extra pounds could save your life and you familys lifes in the long run.

Its important that you do not try to fit, fix or move gas appliances such as a fire, boiler or cooker your self and always request the be done by a registered gas safe engineer who should always provide a full gas report on completion of any works. All gas safe registered engineers are required to retrain regularly in order to ensure they know the latest regulations and that they follow up to date demands set out by the governing body Gas Safe.

 

Home Improvement require gas reports

When thinking of home improvements like a kitchen, loft conversion or a complete refurb most households tend to go with a local company who has ticks all the right boxes but are not gas safe registered, at first site this seems to be the best thing to do as they have one point of contact and control all there own trades. The problem with this is that they generally do not have a qualified gas engineer and on occasions get gas reports from smaller companies who only does a gas check and is not there to be able to over see all the works going into the property. Last year alone there was over 10000 home improvement jobs that required upgrades to the gas works as the installation was poorly fitted and did not meet the regulations set out by Gas Safe.

Below are some tips if you are considering having home improvements done to your property;

1. Always use a gas engineer who will provide you with a gas report of the works carried out


2. Always check the credentials of a gas fitter or installer regardless of who is managing the work


3. Nominate your property with Gas Safe for a free check after works are complete if you are unsure of the gas fitters credentials


4. Check to see if you gas safe engineer has registered his report with building regs after any job


5. If you suspect a illegal gas engineer then report them

If you require a qualfied gas engineer for any works then please call Trade Certificates, we cover all works including full heating installations and gas reports
