NIC Rip off

I had problems with the NICEIC and left. ELECSA is much more friendly.

I've always picked the jobs and booked them in with the customer. I'd never let the nic inspector have free rein.

As above,prior to the visit we pick out around half a dozen jobs and arrange access,the inspector can choose which ones he goes to. Our inspector always picks one EICR as a job and views that from the office PC only!

what happens to the poor clients who have arranged to take time off to let you in, in the case of domestic work?

The arrangement is made on the basis that the inspector may or may not visit. Obviously we would not expect anyone to have time off or wait in. Most clients if you explain the situation are happy to arrange for a key to be available if they are not around. as for commercial jobs then they are likely to be around,and only need warning that you might show a face.

They may be heading in that direction now, and there are some coordinated features that I do not like, but the ELECSA inspectors that I have had are much more friendly and actually seem to know what they are talking about.

One word;

STROMA

£288 for the whole year, my assessment was completed by a nice bloke (about 1.5hrs) , and he had no issue with changing the location of the works to be inspected on the day due to an access issue.

Easy

My only gripe is that their website is a clunky, but thats easily forgivable considering the savings of stress, time and ££!

If I'm honest that sounds worse £288 for 1.5 hours, Our Niceic guy was there for a full shift over 5 jobs and was very thorough, He went through everything on site and office.

Presumably it's the same parent company as opposed to them being the same company.
