Professional EICR Certificate in WS6

For rental properties in WS6, landlords are legally required to have an EICR conducted every 5 years or when there's a change of tenancy. For homeowners, while not legally mandated, we recommend having an EICR every 10 years for houses and every 5 years for flats. Commercial properties in WS6 typically require more frequent inspections, generally every 3-5 years depending on the type of business and insurance requirements. Schools, hospitals, and industrial premises in the area may need annual inspections due to higher risk factors.

The duration of an EICR inspection in WS6 properties depends on the size and complexity of the electrical installation. For an average 3-bedroom home in Cheslyn Hay or Great Wyrley, the inspection typically takes 3-4 hours. Larger properties or those with more complex electrical systems may require 5-6 hours or more. Commercial properties in the WS6 area often need more time due to their complex electrical installations and safety requirements. Our electricians work efficiently to minimize disruption while ensuring a thorough inspection of all electrical systems.

If your WS6 property fails an EICR inspection, our electricians will provide a detailed report outlining all defects found, categorized by severity (C1, C2, or C3). For serious issues (C1 or C2), which are common in older properties throughout the WS6 area, remedial work must be completed to make the installation safe. We can provide a quote for these repairs and carry them out promptly, often within the same visit for minor issues. Once remedial work is completed, we'll issue a new EICR certificate confirming your property now meets the required safety standards. For landlords in WS6, this must be done within 28 days of the initial inspection to comply with regulations.
