The service provided was very quick and efficient. The appointment was made and the electrician turned up on time. I received my EICR a couple of days later. I will definitely use Nationwide again.

Good timekeeping, phoned in advance great Bit too quiet on getting to completion. Had to promt for feedback on the results he was getting, and any issues arising. After all as a hands on landlord I want to know and understand. I do realise that should the tester be confronted with problem wiring , they do not want to get into a confrontation with an irate landlord, but it is beneficial to explain to interested parties the problems and remedies AT THE TIME. All in all thanks
