Common questions
Is a specialist needed or will any electrician do?
The work must be done by someone competent and registered. That is what the certification depends on.
What if the property has had DIY work done?
It gets tested like anything else. Extract fan isolators is often the result of well-meant work that was never verified.
What if you find something unrelated?
It gets reported, not quietly fixed. You decide whether it is dealt with now or later.
Can you give a price over the phone?
A realistic range, yes. A firm figure follows the testing, because coordinated with your kitchen fitter and a simpler cause look identical from the outside.
