EICR electrician Ebbsfleet

For a reliable and trustworthy service, SJ Supplies Limited are your local electricians in Ebbsfleet.

Why might I need an EICR electrician in Ebbsfleet?

An EICR or electrical installation report is an extensive inspection of electrical features at a property. Through visual inspections and more in depth testing, we identify any potential flaws, faults or electrical issues within the wiring, fuse box and lighting.

As locals to Ebbsfleet, our team of qualified electricians have years of experience conducting EICR’s so we know exactly what to look for. We also use state of the art testing tools to assist us to ensure any electrical faults are confirmed with readings.

EICR electrician in Ebbsfleet, what does the law say?

As a landlord, property manager or letting agent, you have a legal obligation to carry out an EICR or electrical installation condition report every 5 years. All electrical installations must be inspected to ensure the property is safe and there is a reduced risk of an electrical fault occurring such as an electrical fire.

If the inspection illustrates that the property is mostly free of faults or any faults we do find are assigned a classification code of C3, the outcome is generally satisfactory. As the owner of the rental property, you will have 28 days to make sure any minor faults are remedied.

Once a satisfactory EICR is achieved, landlords or property agents have to provide a copy of the EICR report to any existing tenants and future prospective tenants.  

As your local EICR electrician in Ebbsfleet, SJ Supplies Limited highly recommends an inspection to be carried out every 10 years, it is however not necessarily a legal requirement.  

Benefits of an EICR electrician in Ebbsfleet

As certified EICR electricians in Ebbsfleet, we can’t stress how important it is to ensure your home or rental property has been checked for electrical faults.

Ultimately, you can ensure all occupants are safe if any hazards have been identified and remedied. Failure to locate an insignificant fault early on can be disastrous further down the line. As many electrical features are concealed within walls, ceilings and flooring, they can escalate quickly, costing you more money and taking up more time to rectify.  

Reducing the risk of electrical faults can minimise electrical shocks and fires.

It might be worth mentioning that landlords who fail to comply with EICR guidance can end up facing hefty fines, invalid insurance policies and in some cases prosecution.
