‘’Martin & Co in Caversham have been using Daton Electrical for several years to provide electrical services to our landlords and in the properties that we manage. We have found them to be reliable, trustworthy and professional, and they provide a good value but professional service to our landlords.

 We particularly like the fact that they are willing to be flexible and help in emergencies even if this is at very short notice. On more than one occasion, they have gone far beyond a normal service to accommodate and help our clients.

We would encourage anyone to use their very professional services.’’

Martin & Co Reading Caversham


Background

Martin & Co are letting agents who also provide property maintenance for their customers. When an electrical issue arises in their properties we are the first point of call to resolve the issue.

Our work with Martin & Co.

We provide Electrical safety certificates, PAT testing, Repairs, maintenance and emergency call outs for Martin & Co and have done for several years. We treat our letting agent clients like all our other clients and aim to get to call outs as quickly as possible so that their tenants aren’t left in the dark for long. We aim to repair all faults whilst on site where possible to cause minimum disturbance but on odd occasions we do need to make more than on visit.

 

Challenges

When called for an emergency call out for a tenant we never really know what we are going to be up against until we arrive, some emergency call outs are quick and easy, such as replacing a single light that does not work. Others can be more difficult to solve, like when a customer has no power, this is often due to a faulty appliance or a fault in the wiring. Wiring faults can be difficult to find if you are not experienced but we have Engineers with years of experience in the field and specialise in fault finding to this level.

 

How we helped Martin & Co.

Our team of fully qualified NICEIC engineers are masters at emergency breakdowns from years of experience with insurance work, meaning we can fault find very quickly and resolve electrical issues swiftly and professionally. We also provide full electrical safety certificates and PAT testing so that landlords can have peace of mind and documentation to prove that their electrical systems are in good condition and safe to be used by tenants.

Results

  • By providing Martin & Co with emergency callouts we minimise down time for the tenants so they are never left in the dark for long.
  • We give landlords peace of mind by providing Electrical safety certificates and PAT testing.
  • Having experienced engineers means that faults can be found quickly and resolved easily.
