For the continued safety of your tenants and your business, it is important to get regular electrical safety checks.
An electrical installation includes all fixed electrical equipment that is supplied through your property’s electricity meter. Just like other features of your property, electrical installations deteriorate and face wear and tear, so they need to be properly maintained or you could be putting your tenants at serious risk.
Book your EICR or PAT with us today and rest easy knowing that you have fulfilled your duty in ensuring the safety of your property.

PAT tests, gas certificates & insurance can all be arranged through them. They take 90% of the stress out of being a landlord and keep all your records in one place.
Getting a periodic inspection of your electrical installations via an Electric Installation Condition Report is a legal requirement in England and Scotland.
Your EICR will be carried out by a registered electrician. The inspection will check the condition of your property’s wiring, look for wear & tear and see if your property’s electrical installations pose any shock or fire hazards. You will then receive a certificate (EICR) from the electrician.
Order EICR ReportFrom 1st April 2021 all tenancies, regardless of start date, will need to ensure that they have a valid EICR from within the last five years.
As a landlord, it is your legal duty to ensure all electrical equipment in your property is safe and maintained throughout the whole tenancy. This responsibility covers light fixtures and plugs, as well as internal wiring.
An EICR is legally required in England and Scotland, and for new occupation contracts in Wales. In Northern Ireland, it is still the recommended method to ensure electrical equipment and wiring is safe. Failure to ensure safe electrics can and will result in prosecution for landlords without evidence of checks taking place.
Since 1st December 2022, all new occupation contracts in Wales require a valid EICR as per The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016. Tenancies that began in Wales before 1st December 2022 and are ongoing will have until 1st December 2023 to comply with the new regulations.
All ongoing and new occupation contracts in Wales require a valid EICR as per The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.
If you are the landlord of an HMO, then you must carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report every five years in the UK. This will reveal any defective electrical work, identify fire hazards and check if any circuits are overloaded and dangerous.
Failure to provide safely installed and maintained electrical appliances can lead to prosecution, property insurance may be invalidated, evictions won't be possible, fines of £5,000 per item may be applied, and in serious cases imprisonment and manslaughter charges may result in the event of deaths caused by faulty systems.
It is essential all landlords get proper certification for their properties.

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) is the checking of the safety of portable (as opposed to fixed) electrical appliances in your property. Confusingly, portable appliances include stationary equipment like fridges and washing machines, as well as things like TVs, kettles and space heaters.
Getting these appliances tested with a PAT is a great way to ensure and prove their safety, allowing you to efficiently fulfil your duties as a landlord.
