unfortunately there is a lot of wisdom in that.
some tradesmen might be slightly biased even a little bit shall we say unconciously.
some might be downright rogues.
a lot are somewhere in between so removing that link is a good starter for ten.
you might happen to someone who you trust implicitly not to blur the lines and if so good but if not then removing the possible incentive is most prudent.
Same with garage mechanics and MOTs etc etc.
Removing the link between contractors doing inspect/test and contractors doing remedials can go a heck of a long way towards a fair outcome. You still might have the problem of the suitability of the contractor doing the EICR though
