Professional EICR Certificate in B67

In B67 and across Birmingham, rental properties require an EICR certificate every 5 years or when new tenants move in, whichever comes first. For homeowners in B67, while not legally mandated, it's recommended to have an inspection every 10 years for owner-occupied homes or every 5 years for older properties (pre-1980s), which are common in the Bearwood and Smethwick areas. Commercial properties in B67 typically require more frequent inspections—every 3-5 years for most businesses, but annual checks for industrial premises or high-risk environments such as restaurants or manufacturing facilities.

EICR certificate costs in B67 typically range from £150-£250 for an average 3-bedroom home, depending on the property's size and age. Victorian terraces common in parts of Bearwood may cost slightly more due to their older electrical systems.

For most residential properties in B67, an EICR inspection takes 2-4 hours depending on the size and complexity of your electrical system.

If your B67 property fails an EICR inspection, you'll receive a detailed report categorizing issues as C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), or C3 (improvement recommended). For C1 and C2 faults, remedial work is required to make the installation safe. Express Contractors can provide a competitive quote for all necessary repairs, often completing minor works immediately. For B67 landlords, failed EICRs must be addressed within 28 days, with evidence provided to tenants and Birmingham City Council. We offer fast-track remedial work for landlords facing tight deadlines, with follow-up certificates issued once the property meets safety standards.

In B67 and throughout Birmingham, EICR certificates are a legal requirement for all rental properties, with landlords obligated to provide tenants with a valid certificate and renew it every five years. For homeowners in B67, while not legally mandated, many insurance policies require an up-to-date EICR, and they're often requested during property sales.

Birmingham City Council may also request EICR documentation during licensing applications or property inspections in the B67 area.
