Electrical Safety Checks for Landlords – What You Need to Know
If you’re a landlord, an EICR isn’t just best practice—it’s a legal requirement. Under the 2020 Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations, all rental properties in England must be tested at least every 5 years.
We make the process simple, professional, and fully compliant.
Our qualified electricians carry out detailed inspections and issue your EICR certificate quickly, with clear reporting and advice if any remedial work is required.

What Is an EICR Test?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) checks whether your property’s fixed wiring and electrical system are safe for continued use.
During the inspection, we assess:
- Fuse boards (consumer units)
- Sockets, switches & wiring
- Earthing and bonding
- Signs of wear, overloading or poor workmanship
- Fire and shock risks
- Compliance with current UK wiring standards (BS 7671)
How Long Is an EICR Valid For in the UK?
For most rental properties, an EICR is valid for five years, or sooner if specified by the report.
You’ll need a new EICR:
- Before a new tenancy
- After major electrical work or damage
- If your last certificate has expired
You’ll receive a clear report, graded by urgency (Code 1–3), with recommendations if action is needed.
