EICR in Wandsworth: the local picture
Putney conversions can contain electrical work from several periods, while Battersea apartments may have equipment positioned within restricted utility cupboards. An EICR needs access to the installation being tested and a clear understanding of its boundaries. Peachtree Maintenance coordinates inspections and agreed remedial work, recording limitations and follow-up requirements. In an Earlsfield shared home, arrange entry to occupied bedrooms as well as common rooms. Reports should stay with the correct flat or house, accompanied by completion evidence where defects are repaired, rather than being filed only against the wider building.
What the rules say
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require landlords to have the fixed electrical installation inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years, or sooner if the report says so.
A copy goes to tenants within 28 days, and to the council within 7 days if it asks. Where the report shows remedial work is required (codes C1, C2 or FI), that work should be completed within 28 days or the shorter time stated, with written confirmation kept.
