Landlords Electrical Certificate Brighton

What is a landlord’s electrical certificate?

The official term for a landlord’s electrical certificate is an EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report. The certificate is legal documentation confirming the electrical aspects at a property have been checked.
The electrical inspection is a useful tool in identifying electrical faults, areas of non compliance and even poor energy consumption at your property in Brighton.

What happens during a landlord’s electrical certificate?

Typically, we carry out visual checks and perform electrical tests on the lighting, wiring, consumer unit and outlets. Our well trained electricians look for electrical faults, loose connections and signs of wear and tear.
Additional power demands such as home EV chargers at a rental property will also need to be inspected by the team.

Faults or concerns we do find are recorded and presented within the landlord's electrical certificate. Extremely hazardous faults will need to be remedied within 28 days of the inspection.
