I rent a house. I've been here around 12yrs. Received a letter saying I need to be in on x day 4hr window for an electrical test of the house which can take up to 3hrs minimum
I've never had this.. stressing as I've got school run to do. Also a 1yr old in the house. Electric will be off for the entire time!!
Talk about stress.. and they need access to all plug sockets and light switches
Some plug sockets I cant get to and dont even use myself
Anyone else had this done

They are here now. No your not allowed to leave them unattended and they dont give an exact time.
They send a letter 2weeks before saying anytime between a 4hrs slot
They arent moving anything just said they will write no access and not to worry it's fine. We shall see
Ah right! Hopefully they are quick for you! :)
I had mine done last week. I just told the guy who was doing it that I had to nip out and asked him to wait until I was back before he left. He said he could wait in his van until I got back if I wanted. I said no, and let him carry on. I was only gone 15 minutes and he was still busy when I got back xx
I cant do this as I've been told literally any time between 8 and 12. Council tell you not to leave them unattended and school is driving distance
I’m in a council house & they do this. Doesn’t cause much disruption , don’t worry x
@miss_bubbles, are u sure it’s every single socket? Didn’t need access to all of mine x
@georgina-ox, tbh I think he only went into the kitchen and under the stairs where the electric box is x
@georgina-ox the letter from them states all plug sockets and light switches plus the electric box under stairs x
Yeah I've had this done. It was stressful but they try and be as quick as they can be.. There just checking all the wiring. They do ours every 10 years xx
Did they check every plug and light switch? X
They will usually help move things, or do it by themselves if you say it's okay. I private rent and have checks done every 6 months to a year. Are you not allowed to leave them to do it by themselves? Or do you have a contact number for the company doing the checks? I usually get a text the night before asking if there is a preferred time or times to avoid. He knows I have 2 kids so understands aha. X
