Our EICR Services
Landlord EICR Certificates
Landlords are legally required to obtain EICR certificates every 5 years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. Our landlord EICR service ensures full compliance across your Gillingham rental properties. We inspect and test all electrical installations, identify any dangerous or potentially dangerous conditions, provide detailed reports grading issues C1 to C3, and issue certificates valid for 5 years. Our reports are accepted by all letting agents and local authorities across Medway. We understand landlord requirements and work efficiently to minimize void periods. For landlords with multiple properties, we offer competitive rates and can schedule inspections across your entire portfolio. Our electricians attend properties at convenient times, liaise with tenants professionally, and provide clear reports you can share with agents immediately.
Homeowner EICR Inspections
Homeowners should have EICR inspections every 10 years or when buying/selling property. Our homeowner EICR service provides peace of mind about your Gillingham home’s electrical safety. We conduct thorough inspections checking all circuits, consumer units, earthing arrangements, and visible wiring for deterioration or damage. The inspection identifies aging systems needing attention, dangerous conditions requiring immediate action, and opportunities for improvements enhancing safety. Many insurance companies require EICRs for older properties or after claims. Mortgage lenders often request them during purchases. Our reports provide comprehensive documentation of your electrical system’s condition. We explain findings clearly, recommend realistic timescales for any work, and provide competitive quotes for remedial work if issues are identified during inspection.
Commercial EICR Certificates
Business premises require regular electrical safety inspections to protect staff, customers, and comply with health and safety legislation. We provide commercial EICR certificates for offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses, and industrial premises across Gillingham and Medway. Commercial inspections are typically required every 3-5 years depending on premises type and use. Our service includes comprehensive testing of all electrical installations, emergency lighting systems inspection, fire alarm electrical systems check, and detailed reports with remedial work schedules. We work outside business hours to avoid disruption and coordinate with facilities managers for large premises. Commercial EICRs are essential for insurance compliance, health and safety requirements, and protecting your business from electrical hazards. We understand commercial pressures and deliver efficient inspections with minimal business interruption.
Remedial Work Following EICR
If your EICR identifies electrical issues, we provide comprehensive remedial work to bring your installation up to standard. Our remedial services cover C1 issues (dangerous, immediate action), C2 issues (potentially dangerous, urgent attention), and C3 recommendations (improvement suggested). Common remedial work includes consumer unit upgrades to RCD protection, socket and switch replacement, earthing and bonding improvements, and circuit repairs or replacements. We prioritize work based on safety risk, provide transparent pricing for all remedial work, and complete work efficiently to minimize disruption. Once remedial work completes, we issue a satisfactory EICR certificate confirming your electrical installation is safe and compliant. For landlords, this ensures you can legally rent your property. For homeowners, it provides assurance your electrical system is safe for your family.
