Landlord electrical services include in-depth electrical testing at a rental property to make sure electrical systems comply with UK safety standards.
The electrical test is often referred to as an EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report but another popular service is PAT or Portable Appliance Testing. The average cost of landlord electrical services for a 3 bedroom property in Bristol is between £323 - £410 but this doesn't include any remedial work you might need if electrical faults are found. Other services we can help with include maintenance and repair work at your property.
Allied Electrical Services provide a prompt and reliable service to landlords and lettering agents. With 25 years experience in the electrical industry, you can rest assured that maintaining electrical safety is our number one priority.
What are landlord electrical services in Bristol?
Landlord electrical services can include regular inspection and testing such as an EICR or PAT testing, repair work following damage or accident, and new installations such as fuseboard upgrades. At Allied Electrical Services, it also includes smoke and fire alarm installation and testing. This is a vital part of a landlord's obligation to keep their tenants safe.
Any variation of landlord electrical services, be that testing, repair work or new installations, must be conducted by an NICEIC approved electrician to confirm compliance with regulations.
What are the benefits of landlord electrical services?
Landlords have a legal duty to ensure their property is electrically safe for their tenants. Part of this legal duty is fulfilled by having an EICR conducted every 5 years. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020 require landlords to have electrical systems tested by a qualified electrician. Failure to comply could see you facing hefty fines of up to £40,000 and legal action by tenants.
A landlord we had worked with on a number of prior projects requested our services again recently. The landlord had taken over a semi detached Victorian property on Chesterfield Road, Bristol. An EICR had been conducted on the property. A C2 or “potentially dangerous” fault, flagged in the EICR as part of the landlord electrical services was a faulty isolator switch in the extractor fan system. We recommended upgrading the outdated extractor fan and installing a local triple pole isolator for enhanced safety. This repair resulted in a satisfactory outcome but our skills were required for a few extra jobs around the house. This included installing a new smoke alarm system to better protect the tenants from the risk of fire.
