If you're letting a property around the Twyn or in one of the Victorian terraces near Caerphilly Castle, you're required by law to have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report before a tenancy starts and every five years after that, or whenever the tenancy changes. I carry out landlord EICR testing across Caerphilly, checking the fuse box, the wiring, sockets and fittings against the current safety standard, and I flag anything that needs attention in plain English rather than jargon. Many of the older terraces near the town centre still have wiring from decades ago, so I take extra care checking for degraded insulation, loose connections and outdated fuse boards that wouldn't meet today's requirements.
Because I'm DBS-checked, letting agents and landlords across Caerphilly can book me in to test occupied properties with tenants at home, which matters when you're managing rentals near the town centre where access can be tricky to arrange. I test every circuit, record the results against BS 7671 and give you a clear certificate you can hand straight to your letting agent or keep on file for your records. If anything comes up as unsatisfactory I'll explain exactly what it is, why it matters and what it would cost to put right, so you're never left guessing. I work with landlords with one flat near the castle and portfolio landlords with several terraces across the Twyn, and I fit testing around your tenants' schedules wherever I can.
Every five years, or when tenants change
I test and certify rental properties across Caerphilly on the legal five-yearly cycle, and again whenever a tenancy changes, so you always hold a valid EICR.
DBS-checked for tenanted access
Because I'm DBS-checked, letting agents and landlords can book me straight into occupied properties near the Twyn or the town centre with tenants at home.
Clear findings, no jargon
If a circuit or fitting needs attention I explain what it is and why in plain English, so you know exactly what you're paying for before I start any remedial work.
Your questions, answered
How much does a landlord EICR cost in Caerphilly?
It broadly runs from £150 to £300 for a typical home, more for larger properties or HMOs. Every house differs, so I always give you one fixed written price before I start.
How long does an EICR take?
Most one to three-bedroom homes take two to three hours to test properly, longer for bigger properties or those with several outbuildings or extensions.
What happens if my EICR comes back unsatisfactory?
I'll explain exactly what needs fixing and give you a fixed price for the remedial work, then retest and issue a fresh certificate once it's done.
