For homeowners, while not legally required, we recommend inspections every 10 years for modern properties and every 5 years for older homes (pre-1980s), which are common in parts of Wednesfield. For properties with swimming pools or outbuildings with electrical supplies, annual testing is advised. Commercial properties in WV11 typically require testing every 3-5 years, depending on the nature of the business.

If your WV11 property fails an EICR inspection, you'll receive a detailed report categorizing issues as C1 (dangerous, requiring immediate action), C2 (potentially dangerous, requiring urgent attention), or C3 (recommended improvements). For rental properties in Wednesfield, landlords must address all C1 and C2 issues within 28 days to comply with regulations. Our team can schedule necessary remedial work immediately after the inspection, often completing repairs within 1-7 days depending on severity. Once completed, we'll issue a new certificate showing compliance. For homeowners, while repairs aren't legally mandated, we strongly recommend addressing safety issues promptly, and we offer priority scheduling for remedial work in the WV11 area.
