Landlord electrical certificates
Let us help you to provide a safe and maintained home for your tenants.
The biggest fear for any landlord is the possibility that their property will not pass an electrical safety inspection. Although we cannot ignore any potentially dangerous observations, we can help reduce the cost of remedial work. Unlike many of our competitors, we can complement our landlord electrical certificate with a free quotation. Sadly this service is only offered on electrical safety inspections and reports which we have carried out ourselves.
Let us help you stay safe. We can help advise landlords on how to bring their electrical installations in line with the current electrical standards.
Discounts are accumulated when more than one service is carried out simultaneously. For example, when an EICR (electrical safety report) is carried out alongside a PAT (portable appliance test).
If you're interested in getting an estimate for your landlord electrical safety certificates then please don't hesitate to contact us.
