Landlord's Electrical Report

What is a landlord's electrical report?

A landlord's electrical report is also referred to as an electrical safety certificate, landlords safety tests or more commonly known as an EICR or electrical installation condition report. A landlord's electrical report must be conducted by private landlords to make sure the fixed electrical installations at the rental property are safe, current and efficient.

How is a landlord's electrical report achieved?

The report will identify any electrical faults or hazards as well as areas of non compliance and poor energy consumption at your rental property in Bristol. A qualified electrician such as ourselves can conduct the inspection through visual checks and thorough tests using electrical testing equipment.

The inspection itself should only take us a few hours as the team at EMC Electrical group are efficient, thorough and experienced when it comes to conducting landlord's electrical reports.

Why do I need a landlord's electrical report?

The safety check is a legal requirement to ensure the safety of tenants at the property. Electrical faults have the tendency to escalate quickly, increasing the risk of electrical fires and electrocution.

It's important to remind clients that a landlord's electrical report must be conducted every 5 years to demonstrate compliance as well as keeping up to date with changes to electrical requirements.

What is assessed during a landlord's electrical report?

We inspect all fixed electrical installations at the rental property in Bristol. Typically, this includes the wiring, lighting and light fixtures, switches and outlets. No inspection is complete unless the fuse board or consumer unit is checked too.

Having conducted numerous landlord's electrical reports in Bristol, we have had to inspect additional electrical features at homes such as EV chargers, underfloor heating and solar panels.
