Working with You and Your Tenants
As a landlord in Essex, you’ll want to do all that you can to ensure the safety and well-being of your tenants. One of your key responsibilities in this regard is to have reports carried out to check that the electrical system in your rental property is safe. Luckily, we’re here to help. We make sure that landlords meet these vital safety standards, providing peace of mind and full compliance with legal obligations. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Importance of Landlord Electrical Inspections in Essex
Electrical cables are usually hidden out of sight, so it can be hard to see if they are showing signs of wear and tear. However, faulty and old wiring is one of the main causes of electrical fires in a home. This is why landlords are required by law to have an EICR carried out to ensure that it is safe for tenants.
An EICR is also known as a Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate, EICR certificate, or Landlords Fixed Wire Test. Whatever you call it, it’s a report that states if the electrical system in your property is safe and fit for use. EICRs on private rental properties need to be carried out every 5 years at a minimum.
It’s not just your wiring that you should have us look at. Portable Appliances Testing (PAT) checks that your plug-in appliances are safe, and while this test is not a legal requirement, many landlords choose to have it carried out to give them and their tenants peace of mind.

We’re Here to Help
Only a qualified electrician can carry out landlord electrical inspections in Essex, and your report will be accompanied by a certification that shows the inspection has been undertaken and signed off by a skilled professional who is legally allowed to do so. An EICR confirms your property adheres to the British Standard for Electrical Safety (BS 7671), and in the event of an electrical accident or fire, your insurance should be valid. A PAT report alongside this will give you another layer of confidence and proof that your property is safe.
