Landlord EICR Certificates in North Shields
North Shields has one of the busiest rental markets on this stretch of the Tyne, and the regeneration around the Fish Quay, the working fishing harbour overlooked by the Lights of North Shields and the Old High Light dating back to 1727, has added a steady stream of new rental flats to the older terraced stock further up the bank towards Northumberland Square and Clifford's Fort. An EICR, an Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a full inspection and test of a rental property's fixed wiring, consumer unit and sockets, and it's a legal requirement for private landlords in England to hold a satisfactory one, renewed at least every five years and at every change of tenancy.
We test rental properties right across North Shields, from the newer flats near the Fish Quay to the terraced housing around Chirton, Preston, Billy Mill, Percy Main, Meadow Well and Marden, working around tenants and changeovers so the inspection causes as little disruption as possible. As a NAPIT registered, City & Guilds qualified and DBS-checked firm with 14 years' experience, we report every finding in plain English rather than in codes alone, so you and your letting agent know exactly where you stand. Every EICR is quoted with a free fixed written price agreed before we start, and if remedial work is needed we quote and certify that too.
