Professional EICR Certificates in Kent
Whether you are a local landlord letting out a property, a homeowner looking to sell, or a business ensuring staff safety, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is essential.
Based in Chislehurst, PLS Electrical provides comprehensive, fully accredited EICR testing and electrical safety certificates across Kent and the surrounding areas. As NAPIT-approved contractors, our digital reports are legally compliant, recognized by all local authorities, and designed to give you complete peace of mind.
Who Needs an EICR in Kent?
Electrical systems naturally degrade over time. An EICR is essentially an “MOT for your electrics,” ensuring everything is safe, legally compliant, and free from fire hazards.
* Landlords (Legal Requirement): Under UK law, private landlords must have the electrical installations in their rental properties inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every 5 years. Failing to do so can result in fines of up to £30,000 and invalidated property insurance.
* Homebuyers & Sellers: If you are buying a property in Kent, an EICR is highly recommended to ensure you aren’t inheriting dangerous (and expensive) wiring issues. If you are selling, having a recent EICR can speed up the process.
* Commercial Businesses: Employers have a duty of care to ensure their premises are safe for staff and the public. Depending on your business type, commercial EICRs are usually required every 3 to 5 years.
What Does Our EICR Inspection Include?
When our qualified electricians visit your property, we conduct a rigorous visual inspection and dead/live testing of your electrical systems. We check for:
* Overloaded electrical circuits or equipment.
* Potential electric shock risks and fire hazards.
* Defective electrical work or degraded wiring.
* A lack of proper earthing or bonding.
* The overall safety of your consumer unit (fuse board), sockets, and light fittings.
If your property passes, we will issue your satisfactory EICR certificate promptly. If we find issues (classified as C1, C2, or FI codes), we will provide a clear, jargon-free explanation and a transparent quote for any remedial work needed to bring the property up to safe UK standards.
