Landlord EICR Certificates in South Shields
South Shields has one of the busiest private rental markets on this stretch of coast, and we test a real cross-section of it. The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Westoe and Horsley Hill are heavily let, many split into flats close to South Tyneside College, while the flats above the shops, bars and cafes on Ocean Road bring their own mix of shared wiring and older consumer units. Out towards Cleadon Park and Marsden Park the newer driveway estates are increasingly popular with family tenants too. An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a full inspection and test of a property's fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets and circuits, and it tells you plainly whether the installation is safe for your tenants to keep using.
We are a NAPIT registered, City & Guilds qualified and DBS-checked team with 14 years' experience, so you can arrange access with confidence even when we are working around tenants who are home alone. We test the whole installation, work to the 18th Edition wiring regulations, and grade every finding by urgency so the report is genuinely useful rather than a wall of codes. Before anything is touched you get a free fixed written quote, one price agreed up front, and we leave every home as we found it, dust sheets down and floors protected throughout. Landlords across South Shields, from Ocean Road lets to the Cleadon Park estates, rely on us to keep their certificates current.
Student & HMO lets
We regularly test the terraced flats around Westoe, Horsley Hill and South Tyneside College, so we know the shared circuits and older boards common to HMO lets.
DBS-checked team
Our engineers are DBS-checked, which matters when arranging access to tenanted homes on Ocean Road and across the town.
Fixed price, no surprises
A free fixed written quote agreed before we start means the cost of your landlord EICR never changes once the report is done.
Your questions, answered
How often do I need a landlord EICR in South Shields?
Private rented properties need a satisfactory EICR at least every five years and at every change of tenancy. We can flag renewals in good time for lets around Westoe, Ocean Road or the newer Cleadon Park estates so nothing lapses.
How much does a landlord EICR cost in South Shields?
A typical domestic EICR broadly costs in the region of £150 to £300, depending on the size of the property and number of circuits. We always confirm one fixed written price before any work starts, so there is nothing extra on the invoice.
Do you test flats above the shops on Ocean Road?
Yes, we regularly test flats above commercial units as well as standard terraces and houses. Shared supplies and older wiring in these buildings need a careful eye, and we will talk you through anything we find.
