Why Choose OR Electrics?
Electricity isn't something to take a gamble on. Whether you are upgrading an older Victorian property or need a modern certificate for a rental, we handle this service with strict adherence to BS 7671 regulations. We treat your home as if it were our own, ensuring safety without the jargon.
If you are renting out property in Leeds, you likely know that electrical safety isn't just about peace of mind anymore—it's the law. As an experienced Electrician, I help landlords across West Yorkshire navigate the 'Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020'. My EICR service is thorough and honest; I don't just tick boxes. Given the age of many rental properties in Leeds, particularly the Victorian terraces and back-to-backs common in student areas like Headingley or Hyde Park, older wiring can often hide dangers. I check specifically for degrading rubber insulation, lack of earthing in damp basements, and outdated consumer units that can't handle modern loads. At OR Electrics, I provide a detailed report on the health of your installation, identifying any potential fire hazards or shock risks, so you can rent your property out with confidence, knowing your tenants are safe and you are fully compliant.

In Leeds, where our housing stock ranges from modern new builds to historic Victorian stone terraces and back-to-backs, electrical safety is paramount. Many of these older properties still contain outdated rubber or lead-sheathed cabling that simply can't cope with modern power demands.

How often do I need an EICR for my rental property in Leeds?
Under current regulations, you must have the electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified Electrician at intervals of no more than 5 years. It is also recommended to get a visual inspection on change of occupancy to ensure a previous tenant hasn't done any DIY damage.
What happens if my property gets an 'Unsatisfactory' rating?
If your report comes back 'Unsatisfactory', it means we've found immediate dangers (Code C1) or potential dangers (Code C2). I will clearly explain what needs fixing without the jargon. You are legally required to have these remedial works completed within 28 days to make the property compliant.
Do you check portable appliances (white goods, kettles) during the EICR?
No, an EICR checks the fixed wiring of the building (sockets, lights, consumer unit). The testing of appliances is called PAT testing. While I can arrange this, it is a separate service from the installation certificate.
My property is an old stone terrace with a damp cellar, does that affect the test?
Absolutely. In Leeds, damp cellars are a common cause of rot in electrical intakes and loss of main earth connections. I pay special attention to these areas during the inspection to ensure the moisture hasn't compromised the safety of the main supply.
