Case Study: No compromise on electrical safety
Jane Madley is lettings manager of Blowers Brothers Estate Agents and NALS-accredited letting agents in Sherwood close to Nottingham city centre. An Investor in People company, they are responsible for some 450 managed properties and, since 2002, have used gas-elec group for the majority of their electrical inspections and remedial works, as well as landlords gas safety certification.
"We have an excellent rapport with Ian Seabridge and June Weldon who, over the years, have proved to be very efficient and reliable", says Jane. "If we have an urgent callout, they respond. If something has failed, they will call to let us know. They will rearrange appointments, if necessary, to suit an awkward tenant. Equally as important is that we can rely on Ian for his expertise in providing the occasional technical explanation to a landlord concerning his/her electrical installation."
When an inspection reveals the need for remedial work, gas-elec group provides Jane Madley with a quotation for her landlord "within days". This gives the landlord an opportunity to source an alternative quotation but, typically says Jane, gas-elec group is instructed to carry out the remedial work.
"Blowers Brothers will not compromise on tenant safety and have chosen gas-elec group to undertake the majority of electrical inspections and remedial works at the properties we manage because they've proven to be a reputable national company that has performed consistently to our expectations."
"We are happy to recommend gas-elec group and endorse their reliability, professionalism, quality of workmanship and competitive pricing, whilst their accreditations and commitment speak for themselves."
