Electrical Testing FAQ
What is a 'Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate'?
It is the result of an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report). Since 2021, it is a legal requirement for all landlords in England to have a satisfactory report to prove electrical compliance.
What if my electrical testing report is 'Unsatisfactory'?
This usually means 'C1' (immediate danger) or 'C2' (potentially dangerous) codes were found. We will provide a detailed quote for remedial work to bring your property up to a safe, legal standard.
Are you NAPIT registered?
Yes. As NAPIT registered electricians, our testing is fully accredited and recognized by local councils, insurers, and the UK government.
