Landlord Electrical Regulations
All private landlords in England will now be required to have their rental properties inspected and tested to ensure the electrical installation fitted is safe. To do this it requires a qualified and competent electrician that should be part of a government registered scheme, like NAPIT. These electrical safety inspections are carried out in the form of an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) and are required at least every five years. Landlords will have to provide a copy of the electrical safety report to their tenants, letting agency and to their local authority or insurance broker if requested. Contact us to book yours today.

Safety First and Peace of Mind
Over time the wiring and fittings in all electrical installations will deteriorate. A number of factors can cause this and these can be hidden from view. Damaged parts, loose fittings, wear and tear, corrosion, excessive loading on the electrical circuit’s equipment, ageing or influences on the environment all can lead to risk of danger. Having a Periodic Inspection & Test carried out would allow you to understand how safe and efficient your home is.
