Services offered by our Reliable electrician for landlords Bristol
Landlords are required to have a qualified electrician like Fairway Electrical carry our regular electrical safety checks on their rental properties. These checks aside, we’re able to carry out all other domestic electrical services within the property from changing a light fitting to smart heating controls and smoke alarm installations to extra sockets.
However for now we’ll turn our attention to the types of checks that are a requirement.
A mandatory electrical safety check should be carried out by our Reliable electrician for landlords Bristol every five years. The report known as an Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR) provides you with details as to the condition of your rental property’s electrical installations and highlights any issues and repairs needed. Landlords must instruct qualified electricians to carry out the repairs promptly as both a duty of care and for compliance. Should a new tenant move into your property an electrical safety check is also usually a requirement or a copy of the most recent report to be provided. We can of course also test appliances provided to your tenants such as washing machines, dishwashers and ovens etc.
Regulations Fairway Electrical adhere to
Landlords in Bristol must ensure their rental properties meet electrical safety standards and an inspection be carried out quinquennial (every five years) or more frequently if deemed necessary.
Your tenants must also be provided with a copy of the report from Fairway Electrical within twenty-eight days of our inspection and prospective tenants must receive the same within twenty-eight days of their request.
Our Reliable electrician for landlords Bristol can then look to carry out any required remedial works again within that magic number timeframe and provide written confirmation to that effect.
Local authorities can require landlords to carry out the remedial works and even arrange for the repairs to be done after which they can recover costs from you.
