Starting from June 1st, 2020, it has become a legal requirement for landlords to conduct an electrical certificate assessment on their rented properties. The guidelines for maintaining electrical safety standards in the private rented sector can be accessed through the following link: [Insert link]. The primary objective is to ensure the safety of tenants during their tenancy by obtaining a satisfactory electrical certificate.

To carry out the electrical certificate, it’s essential to engage the services of a qualified and skilled engineer. Choosing an engineer associated with a recognized governing body like the NICEIC (National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting) is recommended. Registered engineers undergo regular inspections and checks to uphold high standards.

Commonly referred to as EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports), electrical certificates involve assessing the conformity of your electrical installation with the current standards. In the United Kingdom, these standards are outlined in BS7671, commonly known as “the regs,” which set forth the requirements for electrical installations.

During the inspection process, the engineer will examine the consumer unit, the fuse box, and all electrical accessories connected to the system, such as cooker sockets, available sockets, and light points.

The electrical certificate entails three essential inspections. Firstly, a visual assessment of the consumer unit’s internal components and the visible condition of the connected accessories. Secondly, a dead test is conducted to evaluate the cable conditions and obtain readings while the system is not powered. Finally, live and functional testing of the circuits and RCDs (Residual Current Devices) are performed.

If any faults are detected during the inspection, they are generally categorized into four groups:

C1 – Imminent danger C2 – At risk, C3 – Recommended improvement FI – Further investigation required to identify the underlying issue

An unsatisfactory certificate is issued if any faults falling under the C1, C2, or FI categories are identified. C1 defects typically involve exposed live conductors, such as broken sockets with exposed conductive parts or live cables protruding from walls. C2 spots, although not immediately dangerous, can become hazardous if left unaddressed, such as broken sockets without exposed live parts or single insulated cables. C3 recommendations, on the other hand, highlight non-safety issues that should be resolved when convenient, such as low-mounted socket outlets or restricted access to certain areas. Further investigation indicates the presence of an unidentified issue that requires individual attention and additional work to determine the cause.

The engineer can endorse the installation for 3 to 5 years if the electrical certificate is deemed satisfactory. The duration depends on the risk assessment conducted by the engineer and the structure of safety devices like RCDs.

To safeguard your tenants and yourself as a landlord, it is highly recommended to undergo an electrical inspection and obtain a certificate every three to five years. This serves as crucial evidence that you have taken appropriate measures to ensure the safety of your tenants, minimizing the risk of electrical faults. We offer complimentary energy-saving advice alongside every Electrical Certificate as an added benefit. Our expertise lies in enhancing the energy efficiency of properties in London, contributing to cost savings and environmental preservation.

It is advisable to schedule a comprehensive electrical inspection every three to five years, considering the previous assessment and the age of the installation. This thorough examination thoroughly assesses the condition of the electrical wiring throughout the property, ensuring compliance with current standards. Following the inspection, you will receive an electrical certificate highlighting any identified issues.

Obtaining landlord electrical safety certificates is vital to guarantee the well-being of your tenants and demonstrate your commitment to their safety. These certificates prove that you have taken reasonable steps to ensure their welfare.

Upon completing the electrical assessment, our skilled electricians will provide you with an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). This report will indicate whether the electrical installation is deemed satisfactory or if any corrective actions are necessary to meet current safety standards.

Our engineers have the qualifications and experience to deliver periodic inspection reports and installation certificates, ensuring compliance with regulations.

In addition to our services, we offer complimentary energy-saving advice with every certificate. Feel free to ask our engineer for more details on this valuable offering.

In a residential property, the components that undergo testing include the fuse box or consumer unit, sockets, lighting, earthing, and bonding. If any additional areas require attention, kindly inform us before conducting the certificate so we can include them in the testing process. If your property has more than ten circuits (circuit breakers) or multiple consumer units/fuse boxes, please inform us, as it will impact the price of the certificate and the time required for inspection.

It’s important to note that the electrical certificate, or EICR, differs from an electrical installation certificate. Typically, the engineer responsible for the wiring or fuse box installation should provide the installation certificate through their governing body to demonstrate compliance with BS7671 standards. We can only issue an electrical installation certificate for facilities that we have contracted to carry out.

Please be aware that accessories connected to the electrical system, such as externally attached or plugged-in items, are not included unless specifically requested. If you require further information in the event of an unsatisfactory report, please don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance. As part of the testing process, we sample some of the circuits (10%) to obtain the necessary readings. If a comprehensive test of every point is required, kindly inform us, and we will arrange for the complete test to be conducted.

We strive to deliver the certificates within a few days of conducting the inspection. However, if the certificate is urgent, we can expedite the process. Please inform us if you have an urgent requirement. If you need a NICEIC certificate, please let us know, as the pricing for these certificates may vary.
