EICRs for rented property.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report checks the fixed wiring, the fuse board, sockets, switches and fittings against BS 7671. In Scotland a private let needs one at least every five years, and before a new tenancy starts. Our NICEIC-approved electricians carry them out across Glasgow and the Central Belt, and the report comes to you digitally.

Straight answers.
How often does a rented property in Scotland need an EICR?
At intervals of no more than five years, and a copy must go to the tenant before the tenancy starts. Landlords keep each report for six years. That's the Scottish Government's Repairing Standard guidance.
What happens if the report comes back unsatisfactory?
We tell you exactly which items failed and why, and quote the remedial work from the report. Once it's done we issue the paperwork to show the installation is safe.
Does the tenant need to be in?
Not if we have access another way. Tell us on the form whether there's a key safe, keys to collect or a tenant to arrange with, and we'll work around it.
