Electrical Certificate of Compliance (c.o.c)
This certification will check all the electrical wiring, lights, earth, plug points and power distribution boards within your property as well as any lighting, sockets or cabling on the exterior. Checking if your electrical system meets current regulations is important if you are thinking about selling your home. A standard COC is valid for 2 years.
