What landlords need the certificate to show
A landlord electrical certificate records the condition of a rental property's fixed electrical installation and helps you show that the safety of the electrics has been properly assessed. We inspect circuits, accessories, the consumer unit, earthing and bonding, and we carry out the testing needed to back up the findings. When you book Robert Wilson Electrics Ltd, we will need access throughout the property, not just to the hall cupboard and whatever socket is least blocked by furniture. That access is what allows the certificate to reflect the actual condition of the installation rather than a polite guess.
From report findings to completed repairs
The report sets out observations and classifications so you can see what needs attention and how urgently it should be addressed. With Robert Wilson Electrics Ltd, the benefit is that the process does not end at the paperwork. If defects are found, we can move from the documented findings to the remedial work and retesting needed to put matters right. We are also used to the practical side of arranging access between landlord, tenant and electrician, so the inspection can be carried out properly and the next step can follow without more delay than the property already gives you.
Frequently asked questions
What does a landlord electrical certificate cover?
It covers the fixed electrical installation in the rental property, including circuits, accessories, the consumer unit, earthing and bonding. We inspect and test those parts so the certificate reflects the condition of the installation a landlord is responsible for.
Do tenants need to provide access?
Yes, access matters. We need to reach the consumer unit and the electrical points around the property so the inspection can be done properly. We are used to coordinating between landlord, tenant and electrician to make that access as straightforward as possible.
Can you carry out the repairs after the report?
Yes. If the certificate identifies defects, we can move from the documented findings to the remedial work and the retesting needed to put them right. That saves you hunting around for a second firm to interpret someone else's report.
