Domestic Electrical Installation and Testing

MMV Contracting Limited are certified with and accredited to NAPIT for the provision of electrical installation and testing works and can therefore carry out these works for you and arrange the necessary certification and notifications to local councils for building control – at a fraction of the cost that you would be charged for requesting these same services of certification and notification of your local council.

In addition, we are and have been for some time now members of the Trustmark scheme. TrustMark is the only Government endorsed scheme for trades in and around the home. They award registered firms with our accreditation after thorough vetting and on-site inspections to ensure the firm is raising industry standards.

1. Good Trading Practises
