Homes must be safe for tenants and their families to live in and through a rolling programme, the electrical installation in tenant’s homes is inspected and tested by a qualified electrician at least every five years. 

This approach to electrical testing has proved successful with only a small number of tenants failing to provide access to their home. Given the absolute importance of health and safety, where someone has repeatedly failed to allow access, we have and will continue to force entry.  While this is something we take all reasonable steps to avoid, our overriding concern is to ensure that these essential safety inspections are carried out and to tenants are as safe as possible.

The electrical testing programme for the current year is underway and we are in the process of contacting tenants whose homes are due to be inspected, to identify a suitable date and time to carry out the required work.    

If your home is on this year’s programme, please respond to our attempts to contact you and for your own safety, as well as that of your family and neighbours, please allow us access to your home for this important work to be done.
