1) Who needs to consider landlords electrical testing Nottingham?

Are you a private landlord in the Nottingham area? If so you must provide an electrically safe environment for tenants. This is where Definitive Electrical Solutions come in. As an experienced team, we carry out thorough landlords electrical inspections of electrical systems to make sure they comply with building regulations and safety standards.

Failure to provide safe, reliable and efficient electrical installation as well as ensuring regular inspections take place could see you facing penalties. You could face fines of up to £30,000 or criminal charges.

2) What happens during landlords electrical testing?

An NICEIC approved electrician such as Definitive Electrical Solutions should carry out the landlord's electrical testing. We have the expertise to initially conduct a visual check to identify faults such as loose wiring, outdated components and signs of general wear and tear.

Extensive electrical testing takes place with the use of state of the art electrical equipment. We inspect the fuse box, outlets, switches, lighting and additional installations such as the extractor fan and EV charger if installed at the property in Nottingham.

Electrical hazards identified are recorded and presented on the final report. Where there are any hazards noted, we will of course give you recommendations to make the property safer.

3) The legal side of landlords electrical testing in Nottingham

We are very familiar with the most recent legislation, Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector 2025. This mandates all landlords must ensure electrical installations in the rental property are tested by a qualified electrician.

Landlords electrical testing must take place every 5 years with a copy of the report provided to tenants. Occasionally, local authorities may request a copy to make sure compliance with regulations. If requested, a copy of the report should be provided within 7 days of the request.

4) Benefits of landlords electrical testing

As a landlord, we understand the huge commitment and investment you’ve made in a private rental property. Regular inspections and maintenance will make sure electrical installations function well and safely for years to come. Properties with well maintained electrical systems are far more appealing to potential tenants, helping you increase the market value.

We can’t stress the importance of complying with what UK law says about electrical safety in rental properties. As a landlord, you are responsible for providing a safe environment to reduce the risk of electrical fires and electrical shocks.
