Electrical Safety Certificates for Arundel

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a legal requirement for all rental properties in the United Kingdom. Valid for up to 5 years, this essential document verifies that your electrical installations are safe for continued use across Arundel and the wider BN18 area.

Landlord Legal Obligations

Since 2020, private landlords must ensure that electrical installations are inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years. A satisfactory report is required to comply with the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations. We specialise in helping landlords in Arundel stay compliant with minimal disruption.

Satisfactory

Insurance Compliance

Many building insurance providers now require a valid EICR as a condition of cover. Without one, claims relating to electrical fires may be rejected.

Avoid Heavy Fines

Local authorities in the Arundel region have the power to issue civil penalties of up to 30,000 pounds for landlords who fail to provide a valid EICR when requested.

Proactive Risk Management

Beyond legal compliance, an EICR identifies hidden dangers such as overloaded circuits, lack of earthing, or fire risks within the consumer unit. Our engineers provide a clear, jargon free summary of any remedial works required to bring your property up to current British Standards.

Compliance Insight

Did you know? A "Satisfactory" result depends on the codes.

When engineers inspect your property, they categorise findings into specific codes. Understanding these is essential for maintaining your legal "Satisfactory" status.

C1 / C2

Immediate & Urgent Actions

C1 codes indicate immediate danger, while C2 codes signify urgent potential danger. Either of these results in an 'Unsatisfactory' report, meaning remedial work must be completed within 28 days.

C3

Improvement Recommended

A C3 code identifies a non-compliance with the latest wiring regulations that isn't currently dangerous. A property can still receive a 'Satisfactory' overall rating even if C3 codes are present.
