Electrical Safety Certificates for Landlords
Since 1st July 2020, private landlords in England must have the electrical installations in their rental properties inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every 5 years. First Call Electrical Solutions Ltd provides fully compliant landlord safety certificates in Leyland and across Lancashire, keeping you legally protected and your tenants safe.
Safety Certificate
BS 7671 Compliant
If you own rental properties in Lancashire, staying on top of electrical safety compliance is not optional — it is a legal requirement. A valid EICR certificate must be provided to new tenants before they move in, and to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000 per property.
Our landlord electrical safety certificates in Leyland are issued by NAPIT registered inspectors and follow the BS 7671 wiring regulations. We work with individual landlords, letting agents, and property management companies, offering bulk discounts for multiple properties and flexible scheduling to minimise tenant disruption.
If your EICR identifies any C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) observations, remedial work must be completed within 28 days. We can carry out all necessary repairs ourselves, providing a seamless end-to-end service from inspection to certificate issue, ensuring your property remains compliant without delay.
