Landlords & HMOs

Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)


All our Inspection and Testing is done in accordance with BS 7671 and Part P, this includes all landlord certificates, house of multiple occupancy (HMO property) certificates.


By law it is the landlords responsibility to make sure that the electrical installation in a rented property is safe for tenants and is maintained throughout the tenancy. 


This is why an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is required by landlords, this also applies to Houses of Multiple Occupancy.

 An EICR report will highlight any issues with the electrical installation that may not be clearly apparent. 


The EICR is often referred to in different terms such as:


Electrical Certificate

Landlord Electrical Certificate

Electrical Safety Certificate

Electrical Safety Report

Electrical Safety Test

Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate

Landlord Safety Certificate

Periodic Test Certificate

Periodic Inspection Report

Electrical Wiring Safety Inspection



If you are unsure what certificates you require please contact us on 07967000077 and we can help advise you on the relevant certificates you may require. 

No matter what your electrical needs we can provide all the required documents to landlords for rental properties, both residential and domestic.


Electrical Installation Condition Report - This is to be performed every five years or if the property occupancy is changing.




Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)


In the average home there can be as many as 30 electrical appliances (including the spare toaster in the cupboard). With so many appliances in the home often these are moved around, dropped or cables pulled on, so it is important that appliances are maintained to make sure they are functionally safe.


Our PAT testing service comes with a certificate on completion for you to frame and a break down of tests performed.


There are three categories that appliances fall under:


Class 1 Equipment  


Fridges, Freezers, Smoothie Makers, Blenders, Washing Machines Toasters, Toasty Makers, Irons, Microwaves, Electric Heaters, Tumble Dryers and Kettles, 



Class 2 Equipment  


Televisions, Power Tools, Hair Dryers, DVD / Blueray Players and Lamps 



Class 3 Equipment  


Is equipment that uses less than 50vac or 120vdc and classed as Separated Extra-Low Voltage (SELV)  supply and therefore does not require testing, but we will test the power supply.


  • Portable Appliance Testing - It is recommended that electrical appliances such as TVs, kettles and microwaves be tested annually.

Fire Alarm and Emergency Lighting Services

Fire Alarm Systems

  

Fire safety is something that should never be taken for granted. When it comes to running a HMO, a good quality fire alarm system is essential to provide the people on the property as much notice of a fire when it happens.


It is important to have a fire alarm installation in place which will do the job that is asked of it. Failure to upgrade your fire alarm or to at least test it could be detrimental to the lives of all of those who are involved. For that reason, if you don’t already have a fire alarm in place, it’s time to start thinking about getting set up.




Emergency Lighting

  

In an emergency situation or in the event of a power cut, it is important to have the route of exit illuminated to enable safe evacuation. 


As a landlord you have a the obligation to keep your emergency lighting and signage up to date and fit for purpose, which is a requirement under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order of 2005 (FSO).
