Now you know where to turn, your next question may be, what do I actually need to have in place? The electrical certification required will depend on what work has been undertaken and our team of expert Edinburgh electricians are here to guide you every step of the way. It is important to remember that any electrical work completed by an electrician at your Edinburgh property will need the required paperwork linked to the job, be it electrical testing, rewire or maintenance. We also advise that you keep a record of all work undertaken in relation to electrical inspection and testing too. The more information you have the better, so schedules of inspections, dates of when work has been completed and any electrical test results you have been given by your Edinburgh electrician would be advisable to keep for your property records. Our team here at DC Electrical Edinburgh are NICEIC registered contractors which means all the work our electricians complete for you is fully certified to the highest of standards. Electrical Installation Condition Reports (often referred to as EICR’s) is a test & reporting process that is industry recognised. The law states as per The Landlords and Tenants Act of 1985, that the electrical safety of tenants is the responsibility of the landlord and property owner. In relation to landlord responsibilities, property agents or landlords who act on the behalf of the owner of a property, also have a responsibility to ensure the electrical safety of the respective tenant too. It is important to note that a full electrical inspection is legally required either every five years or with each change of tenancy (whichever falls sooner). This is something that will be especially relevant to all student landlords out there who have a regular turn around of tenants. Here at DC Electrical Edinburgh we offer a full suite of landlord electrical services, including EICR reporting services, PAT testing for portable appliances, emergency lighting certification, minor electrical work certification, fire, smoke and heat alarm testing and more.
Our electrical testing and certification packages created specifically for landlords are competitively priced and can be tailored bespoke to your needs.
