EICRs for landlords and letting agents across Test Electrical
One property or thirty. We test, we report, we fix the small faults we find, and we tell you before the next report is due. Fixed prices in writing, every time.
The duty you are meeting
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, a private rented home must have its fixed electrical installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years. The tenant gets a copy of the report within 28 days of the inspection, and a new tenant gets a copy before they move in.
If the report comes back unsatisfactory, the faults have to be put right and you need written confirmation that the work was done. That confirmation is the part landlords most often lose track of, so we send it in the same email thread as the report.
The shorter interval wins
Five years is the longest gap allowed, not a fixed rule. If the report itself sets a shorter date, that date is the one you have to work to. We put it in plain words on the front of every report we send.
Built for portfolios and agencies
The awkward parts of a landlord EICR are access, chasing and paperwork. We take all three off your desk.
Block bookings
Send the list of addresses in Test Electrical. We group them by area and run them in a sensible order, which keeps travel down and the diary tight.
One invoice, or one per property
Agents usually want a single invoice with the addresses itemised. Landlords with a mortgage per property often want them separate. Tell us which and that is what you get.
Tenant access handled
We contact the tenant to arrange a time, explain that the power comes and goes, and confirm back to you. Key safes and agency key collection are both fine.
Reminders before expiry
We keep the inspection date for every property we test and get in touch before the report runs out. You are not relying on a spreadsheet nobody updated.
Reports as PDFs
Emailed the moment the job is written up, named by address so they file themselves. Forward one straight to a tenant to meet the 28 day rule.
Remedials by the same hands
The electrician who coded the fault is the one who comes back and fixes it. No handover, no second opinion, no gap where the property sits unlet.
How a block booking runs
Four steps from your address list to filed paperwork.
Send the list
Addresses, rough property sizes, and who holds the keys. Email is easiest, and a spreadsheet is fine.
Get the prices
A fixed price per property, in writing, before anything is booked. EICRs start at £160.
We arrange access
We deal with the tenants directly and confirm each slot back to you. You do not have to be the middleman.
Reports, then repairs
PDFs come through as each job is finished. Anything unsatisfactory comes with a priced list of remedials, so you can approve in one go.
Why one contractor matters here
Split the report and the repairs between two firms and you own the argument in the middle. The tester says the board is unsatisfactory. The second electrician says it looks fine. Meanwhile the tenant is waiting and the property cannot be relet with an outstanding fail.
We write the report and we do the remedials. If we code something, we stand behind it, we price it, and we put it right. If we find nothing, the report says satisfactory and you owe us for a test, not for a shopping list.
Questions from landlords and agents
The tenant will not give access. What now?
Tell us early. We will try more than once and at different times of day, including outside normal working hours where we can. Keep a written record of every attempt, because a landlord who has genuinely tried is in a very different position from one who has not.
Can you test between tenancies?
Yes, and it is often the easiest time. An empty property means no negotiating around anyone, and we can turn the power off without a second thought. Give us the key arrangement and the void dates.
Do I get something to give the tenant?
Yes. The PDF report is the document you pass on within 28 days. If remedial work was needed, you also get written confirmation once it is done, which is the piece that proves the duty was met.
What if the property is an HMO?
Tell us when you book. Shared houses have more circuits, more communal areas and more to check, so the price reflects the size of the job. We will confirm it in writing like any other property.
Do you cover the whole of Test Electrical?
Yes, and only Test Electrical. We are not a national franchise passing your job to whoever is nearest. Your properties are in our patch, so coming back for the remedials is straightforward.
