Slav replaced my old plastic fuse board with a safe new metal one, tested the whole flat, and sent me the safety certificate that same day. He explained everything very clearly, worked neatly and professionally, and left me feeling completely at ease. I finally have peace of mind knowing my electrics are safe.
