Landlord Safety Certificates

As a landlord in England, you have a legal duty to ensure your property's electrical installation is safe and maintained in good repair. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require you to have the installation inspected and tested every five years (or at the start of a new tenancy if earlier), with a copy of the EICR provided to tenants within 28 days. Benjamin Bailey Electrics provides a complete landlord electrical compliance service, including EICRs and any required remedial work.

We work with private landlords, letting agents, and property management companies throughout East Sussex. We understand the practical realities of managing rental properties — we work around tenants, communicate clearly, and produce reports in the format required by local authorities and letting agents. Where the EICR identifies remedial work, we provide a clear, itemised quote and can usually complete the work within a week to keep voids to a minimum.

Beyond the legal requirements, regular electrical inspections protect you against insurance claims and disputes with tenants. An up-to-date EICR is increasingly required by landlord insurance policies and mortgage lenders. We maintain records of all work carried out and can provide copies of previous certificates on request.
