“ECS (Electrical Compliance and Safety) Ltd regularly carry out all of the electrical testing, installations and repairs at Oakley Vale Primary School. We have confidence and assurance in the electrical safety testing and compliance work they do throughout the school, ensuring our children, staff and buildings are kept safe. ECS’s experienced engineers arrive at the school with a full DBS check and have already been given internal safeguarding training (at ECS) before they begin work. ECS make it easy for us to adhere to current legislation and to be compliant. They fully understand the need for all work to be carried out whilst the school is closed and carry out all electrical work to a very high standard, within a certain time frame. We would not hesitate in recommending ECS to other schools and trusts.”
