Rental Property Compliance

Not Just a One-Off Certificate

Landlord electrical work is rarely just one visit. A rental property needs a valid EICR, safe accessories, working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, prompt fault response, and clear evidence that any remedial work has been completed correctly.

Entigen supports landlords and letting agents across Kettering, Barton Seagrave, Burton Latimer, Corby, Wellingborough and wider Northamptonshire with practical, ongoing electrical compliance. We help you keep tenants safe, records tidy and maintenance decisions clear.

What We Manage

Electrical Compliance for Rental Properties

EICRs Every 5 Years
Rental properties in England generally need an EICR at least every 5 years, unless the report states a shorter interval. We inspect, test and issue digital PDF reports with clear observations and next steps.
Change of Tenancy Checks
If an EICR is still satisfactory and in date, a full retest may not be needed at every tenancy change. But damaged accessories, reported faults, alarm status and visible wear should be checked before new tenants move in.
Smoke & CO Alarm Duties
The Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Regulations 2022 require landlords to ensure smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are provided where required and repaired or replaced once a fault is reported.
Consumer Unit Issues
Older rental properties often need upgrades before they can meet modern expectations: missing RCD protection, damaged boards, poor labelling, plastic enclosures, no surge protection, or circuits that cannot be safely tested.
Portfolio Support

One Contractor for Multiple Properties

For landlords with more than one property, consistency matters. One reliable contractor means the same standards, the same reporting style, and fewer gaps between inspection, quotation, repair and certification.

We can liaise with tenants and letting agents, schedule access windows, prioritise urgent safety items, and keep certificates and remedial records in PDF form so you are not piecing together evidence after the fact.

Landlord Workflow
  • Access coordination with tenants, landlords or letting agents.
  • Digital PDF certificates for EICRs, minor works and notifiable works.
  • Clear remedial quotes separated from the inspection report.
  • Repeat property support across Kettering and Northamptonshire.
Failed EICR Support

What Happens When a Rental Property Fails?

A failed EICR is not the end of the process. The important part is dealing with the observations properly, documenting the remedial work and proving that the unsafe items have been corrected.

Report Findings
C1, C2 and FI Items
Danger present, potentially dangerous observations and further investigation items need landlord attention. We explain what each item means in practical terms and separate urgent safety work from recommended improvements.
Remedial Work
Quoted, Completed, Certified
Remedials are quoted clearly before work starts. Once completed, we retest the affected parts of the installation and issue the appropriate certificate or written confirmation for your compliance records.

Why Ongoing Support Matters

Reliable Electrical Maintenance Protects the Tenancy

Electrical problems in rental properties rarely arrive at convenient times. A tenant reports a burning smell, a socket stops working, an RCD keeps tripping, or a consumer unit issue blocks an otherwise straightforward EICR.

Having a regular landlord electrician means you already have someone who understands the property history, knows the standard you expect, and can move from diagnosis to quotation to certification without starting from zero every time.

Landlord FAQs

Landlord Electrical Compliance Questions

Rental properties in England generally need an Electrical Installation Condition Report at least every 5 years, unless the previous report requires the next inspection sooner. The report should be kept available for tenants, agents and the local authority if requested.
A full new EICR is not always required if the current report is satisfactory and still in date, but change-of-tenancy checks are sensible where accessories have been damaged, alarms need verifying, or tenants have reported electrical faults.
We explain the observations, quote the remedial work, complete the repairs where instructed, retest the affected items and provide the relevant certificate or written confirmation for your compliance file.
Yes. We can arrange appointment windows with tenants or agents, keep communication practical, and send digital PDF certificates, reports and quotes to the landlord or property manager.
