The Electrical Safety Council is on the look out for registered electrical contractors to work with them on their new charitable safety scheme. The ‘Electrical Installation Safety Improvements Grants scheme’ has been designed to offer homeowners aged 60 and over, who are in receipt of a ‘means tested benefit’, electrical improvements to their homes in order to bring them up to a safe standard.
The first stage of the scheme is the assessment of the existing electrical installation at nominated properties, and the production of a detailed periodic inspection report. Electrical contractors who are registered with a Scheme Operator or a Trade Association as competent to carry out periodic inspection and testing of domestic installations are being sought by the Council to carry out this work.
Where the report identifies the need for remedial work, another electrical contractor registered with one of the government-authorised schemes, will be required to carry out the work on the affected property. All of the work is funded by the Grants scheme.
Any registered electrical contractors happy to be contacted about working on the scheme should contact the Electrical Safety Council by telephoning 0870 040 0561 or emailing grants@esc.org.uk.
