EICR electrical safety checks in Worcester
Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homeowners, landlords and letting agents. Fixed prices by property size, carried out by Mark and the team and written up properly.
Why book an EICR
An EICR is a thorough inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property: the consumer unit, circuits, sockets, switches, lighting and earthing. It tells you whether the installation is safe to keep using.
Periodic inspection sticker on your board
Last inspected 2019, due again 2024. If the label on your board looks like this, you are overdue.
This Crabtree consumer unit shows the standard IET wiring regulations inspection notice with circuit schedule. Contact Mark to book an inspection before your certificate expires.
You let a property
Landlords in England are legally required to have the electrics inspected and tested at least every five years, and at change of tenancy where applicable. See the landlord section below.
You are buying or selling
A report gives buyers confidence and helps you budget for any work before you complete. It is especially worth doing on older houses around Worcester and Malvern.
The installation is getting on
Homeowners are usually advised to have an EICR every ten years. If you cannot remember the last one, or the fuse box looks old, it is due.
Something does not feel right
Trips, warm sockets, flickering lights or damage after a leak are all good reasons to have the wiring checked properly.
Landlord EICRs in Worcester
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must have the electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, and at change of tenancy where applicable.
Give a copy to your tenants
Existing tenants need a copy within 28 days of the inspection, and new tenants before they move in.
Keep it for the council
Your local authority can ask for a copy, which must be provided within 7 days.
Put right anything flagged
Remedial work must be done within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so, with written confirmation to your tenant and the council.
We arrange access with tenants or your agent, send the report by email and can quote for any remedial work at the same time.
