As increasing numbers of households in the UK are battling to keep flood water at bay, you would be easily forgiven for overlooking your electrical safety. However it is important that in the post flood water clean up that you ensure your home electrics have not been damaged by flood water. I work with a growing number of clients across Nottingham, Derby and Mansfield who live near rivers and who have unfortunately been affected by flooding when the rivers have burst their banks.

In a welcome move to target dangerous rental properties, the Government are discussing plans to make electrical safety checks a compulsory requirement for landlords.
