Properties we test in Central London
Expect older mansion-block wiring, landlord supplies in communal cupboards and a high proportion of short-let and corporate-let flats where a fast certificate matters. Every inspection covers the consumer unit, all circuits, earthing and bonding, RCD protection and the condition of sockets, switches and fittings, tested to the current BS 7671:2018+A4:2026 standard.
