As a landlord in London, electrical safety is not just a recommendation—it's a legal obligation. Ensuring your rental property is electrically sound is vital to tenant safety, legal compliance, and long-term property value. NICEIC Electricians offers comprehensive, professional, and fully certified EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) and PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) services tailored specifically for landlords.
What Is an EICR and Why Is It Required?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a legal requirement for rented properties in England. It assesses the safety of fixed electrical installations within the premises—like wiring, sockets, fuse boxes, and light fittings. NICEIC Electricians provide thorough EICR inspections carried out by certified professionals. We ensure that your installations meet BS 7671 standards and provide landlords with the documentation required by law.
Since July 2020, landlords must have a valid EICR certificate every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy, whichever comes first. Failure to provide a compliant report can result in hefty fines or even voided insurance.
What is PAT Testing and Who Needs It?
PAT Testing, or Portable Appliance Testing, is not legally mandated in all cases, but it is highly recommended, especially for Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs). It involves testing any electrical appliances provided by the landlord—kettles, toasters, microwaves, etc.—to ensure they are safe to use.
At NICEIC Electricians, we go beyond the basics. Every appliance is inspected, tested, labelled, and recorded. Landlords are given a full report showing what was tested, the results, and whether the appliances passed or failed.
