Landlord electrical safety certificates (EICR) in Altrincham
Landlords have a legal duty to make sure the electrics in a rented home are safe. An Electrical Installation Condition Report is the inspection that shows you’ve met that duty and protects your tenants.
We carry out landlord EICRs across Altrincham and the surrounding areas, with clear reports and straightforward advice where remedial work is needed. For landlords with larger portfolios and letting agents, our sister company Landlord Electrical Inspections handles inspections across many properties. All work is carried out by City & Guilds qualified electricians registered for Part P Full Scope, and is tested and certified to BS 7671.
What's included
- A full inspection of fixed wiring, sockets, switches, lighting, the consumer unit, earthing and bonding
- A report with every observation clearly coded (C1, C2, C3, FI), so the actions are unambiguous
- Remedial work quoted and completed by the same team where needed
- Written confirmation once remedial work is done, for you and your tenants
- A reminder when your next inspection is due
