Landlords electrical testing Cheltenham.
If you own a rental home or manage a private rental property, you’re probably aware of landlord's electrical testing which is also called an EICR. An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a safety inspection of all fixed electrical systems. This includes wiring, lighting, the fuse board, outlets and switches.
ElectricsFixed looks for signs of general wear and tear, electrical faults and even identify areas of poor energy consumption. The purpose of the testing is to make sure potential electrical issues are found at the earliest point. Preventing dangerous risks such as electrical fires or electrocution.

Copies of the final report must be made available to all new tenants before they occupy the rental property. Existing tenants should also be given a copy of the report within 28 days of the date of landlord electrical testing.
