Whether you have a second home or any other rental property, now is the time to lend some thought to getting your EICR reports done right. Electrical Installation Condition Reports must be carried out every 5 years to remain compliant. They detail the condition of your rental property’s electrics, ensuring tenants that their property is safe to live in. An up-to-date EICR report also keeps you on the right side of the law. Compliance means that your insurance policies remain valid and you’ll also avoid significant fines for non-compliant properties.
If you’re managing the rental of your properties yourself, or if you’re a letting agent responsible for client properties, renewing your EICR report is straightforward. Merely locate an NICEIC-registered organisation, like Definitive Electrical. We’re registered and approved to conduct the report in-line with government protocol.
Definitive Electrical Solutions Ltd comprises a large team of qualified Domestic Electricians throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire and the wider East Midlands region. Our engineers will spend around 3-4 hours testing all aspects of your property’s electrics and after, they’ll provide you with a comprehensive, officially-recognised EICR Certificate. In other words, by entrusting the Definitive team to undertake your EICR reports, you’ll be avoiding the pitfalls of what is referred to as “Driveby EICRs”: rushed, careless and less than thorough reports that may not provide you with all the facts you need to remedy any issues with your properties’ electrics.
As mentioned, an EICR report must be undertaken by an NICEIC-registered organisation. Electrics are graded in several ways. C1 means that present danger has been identified and the problems must be remedied straight away; C2-graded items indicate potential danger; and C3 electrics pose no danger but perhaps don’t meet the current standards if they have changed since your property was last updated or rewired. However, the report may include recommendations for improvements.
Not only are all members of the Definitive Electrical team qualified and highly experienced, but they’re also regularly criminal-checked (CRB/DBS), meaning that you’ll be entrusting only qualified, experienced and safe Electrical Engineers to your properties. As well as boasting the best Domestic Electrical Engineers in the East Midlands region, together with being an NICEIC-approved Domestic Installer, Definitive Electrical is Part P Electrical Safety-registered and is part of the government’s Trust mark scheme.
