Compliant, and off your plate.

In England, at least every 5 years and before a new tenancy. We can usually test and certify within 24 hours of booking.

Yes — holiday lets are treated as businesses and should hold a valid EICR and compliant alarms. We handle both and provide the certificates.

We explain any coded issues in plain English and give a fixed quote for the remedials, then re-certify once done.

If the report is Satisfactory, the EICR is issued within 24 hours of the visit, usually same day. If Unsatisfactory codes (C1 or C2) are found, the report is issued alongside an itemised remedial quote. The Electrical Safety Standards (PRS England) 2020 require landlords to give a copy to existing tenants within 28 days, to new tenants before they occupy, and to the local authority within 7 days on request.

An installation is rated Unsatisfactory only if a C1 (Danger Present) or C2 (Potentially Dangerous) code is recorded. Under the 2020 Regulations all C1 and C2 defects must be remedied within 28 days, or sooner if the inspector specifies. We provide a written remedial quote, carry out the work, then re-test and re-issue the EICR as Satisfactory. C3 codes (Improvement Recommended) and FI codes (Further Investigation) are documented but do not, on their own, fail the report.

Yes. Each separately let dwelling needs its own EICR every five years, plus at change of tenancy as good practice. For HMOs, every unit and the common areas are tested. For portfolio landlords we discount the per-property rate and schedule the visits as a batch with a single point of contact and a consolidated invoice.

For most single-let properties, yes. A typical 2-3 bed flat or terrace is 2-4 hours on site for the EICR plus 1-2 hours to fit BS 5839-6 Grade D mains-interlinked smoke alarms, a heat alarm in the kitchen and CO alarms where required. Larger or more complex properties (HMOs, listed buildings, three-phase commercial lets) may need a return visit, which we agree with you in advance.

Yes. Our coverage is a 40-minute drive from Glastonbury (BA6), which includes Bath (BA1/BA2), Wells (BA5), Frome (BA11), Shepton Mallet (BA4), Bruton (BA10), Castle Cary, Midsomer Norton, Radstock, Street and Wedmore. For portfolio and letting agent retainers we cover the same area at a discounted scheduled rate. Outside this radius we will quote on request but cannot guarantee response times.

NAPIT (National Association of Professional Inspectors and Testers) is one of the government-authorised Competent Person Schemes for electrical work in England. Our NAPIT membership (registration 66245) means our EICR is lodged on the national database, our Part P notifiable work is automatically registered with your local Building Control office, and the certificate is accepted by lenders, insurers and local authorities for landlord compliance under the 2020 Regulations. A cert from someone who is not on a recognised scheme is not legally equivalent.
