Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates (EICR) & Compliance Across the South East
The Legal Requirement
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations, landlords in England must ensure their properties are inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years.
At PLS Electrical, we specialize in making compliance simple. We provide thorough inspections and rapid remedial works to ensure your property remains legal and your tenants remain safe.
The 2025 Landlord Safety Package
1. Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
What it is: A deep-dive “health check” of your property’s fixed wiring, fuse box, and sockets.
Our Process: We identify any potential hazards (coded C1, C2, or FI) and provide a digital report within 24 hours.
Satisfactory Results: If your report is “Unsatisfactory,” we provide a free, no-obligation quote for the necessary remedial works to get you to “Satisfactory” status.
2. Smoke & Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms
Smoke Alarms: Legal requirement for at least one smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation.
CO Alarms: Mandatory in any room with a fixed combustion appliance (boilers, wood burners, gas fires).
Testing: We perform the mandatory “Day 1” tenancy test and ensure all units are interlinked for maximum safety.
3. Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
While not always a legal requirement for all private rentals, it is highly recommended for any appliances you provide (fridges, toasters, kettles). We offer discounted PAT testing when booked alongside an EICR.
