We have been monitoring the developments surrounding the spread of the Covid-19 virus. To protect our clients, customers, contractors and team members it is important that we have in place a policy as to how we mitigate the risks surrounding the impact of the virus.

New electrical safety regulations were presented before Parliament last month. The move by the Government will strengthen electrical safety practices and bring them into line with those  already well established within gas safety regulations in private residential tenancies.
