Who's watching it? A firm from Maidstone ripping OAP's off, cold calling them and bullying them into an EICR costing £600! I wonder how much they charge for the remedial work. Just looking at their website it comes across as scaremongering and preying on the fact of metal consumer units to contain fires.

IMHO it's great that action has been taken. The shame is that it has taken a BBC investigation to make this happen. The bodies have a code of conduct and a much tougher stance on conduct would be well received by me and I suspect many many others...Rant over ...

I suspect they are making a to-do as it was in the public eye. Its a PR decision, not a safety decision or fair trading decision. They have to be seen to be doing something as it can be seen by the masses. Normal operation will resume shortly.

I'm glad to see elecsa have acted in this case and hope it does mean the start of being able to report bad workmanship directly to them. Obviously one mans word vs another wouldn't be enough but they could build a pattern of x people have reported the same guy, let's investigate.

It's the law that needs to catch up to this company though. With the figures they're charging they can easily afford to notify the council without the need of elecsa...shocking sums of money!
