Landlord Electrical Certificates Angus
As a Angus landlord, it is your responsibility to ensure that your rental property meets the required electrical safety standards. One way to ensure compliance is by obtaining an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for your property.
The testing process for an EICR involves a thorough inspection and testing of all electrical installations in your property, including sockets, switches, lighting, and distribution boards.

Our qualified electricians use specialized equipment and testing methods to identify any potential hazards, such as faulty wiring, inadequate earthing, or outdated components. We will also conduct visual inspections of your electrical installations to identify any visible damage or signs of wear and tear. Once the testing is complete, we will provide you with a detailed report outlining any issues found and recommendations for improvements. By conducting an EICR, you can ensure that your rental property is safe for your tenants and compliant with regulations.

EICR for Heritage Properties around Angus
Heritage properties may require special attention when it comes to electrical safety standards and certification. Currently the law states landlords must acquire new EICR certificates every five years. However, you can have your electrics tested at any time you choose, giving you added peace of mind with regard to electrical safety to protect those Angus heritage properties and landmarks.
Owners of older buildings such as thatched cottages and timber-frame buildings may benefit from an increased frequency of EICR testing to decrease risks of electrical fires for example.
Heritage properties, especially those with unique construction materials or features, may require more frequent EICR testing to ensure their electrical safety. Here are some examples of heritage properties that may require more frequent EICR testing:
Listed Buildings: Properties that are listed or located within a conservation area may have old electrical systems that require more frequent EICR testing to ensure their safety.
Thatched Roofs: Thatched roofs can be a fire hazard if the electrical system is not up to date. Hence, it is important to have an EICR done more frequently on these types of properties.
Timber-framed Buildings: Properties with wooden frames, especially those with timber cladding, may require more frequent EICR testing due to the increased risk of electrical fires.
Historic Properties: Historic properties with unique architectural features, such as old wiring systems, may require more frequent EICR testing to ensure their safety and prevent potential hazards.
Converted Properties: Properties that have been converted from their original use, such as barn conversions, may have unique electrical systems that require more frequent EICR testing to ensure their safety.
