Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates
EICR electrical safety certificates for landlords, keeping rental properties compliant across Stockport.
Landlord Certificates for Stockport Rental Properties
Landlords in England are legally required to hold a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for their rental properties, renewed at least every 5 years, under The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
We carry out EICR testing and certification for landlords across Stockport, giving a clear report on the condition of a property's electrical installation.
Where an EICR identifies issues, we can carry out the remedial work needed and re-test, so the property is brought up to a satisfactory standard without needing to find a separate electrician.
We work with landlords and letting agents managing single properties or larger portfolios, keeping paperwork straightforward and certificates issued promptly.
