Why Choose Us
Why Landlords in Steyning Require Regular EICRs
Rental property owners are legally required to ensure their electrical installations are safe and inspected at least every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. These inspections are vital for protecting tenants and fulfilling your obligations as a landlord within the Horsham District. If an EICR identifies issues that require remedial work to achieve a satisfactory rating, you generally have a 28-day window to complete the necessary repairs. We provide transparent, upfront quotes for all identified works, ensuring you remain compliant and your property remains a safe environment for your occupants.

Who We Are
Inspection Process for Period and Modern Properties
Testing homes in the BN44 area presents a variety of challenges, from historic timber-framed structures to mid-century builds. Our process involves a rigorous technical assessment of your fixed wiring, socket outlets, lighting circuits, and the consumer unit. In older properties, we pay close attention to earthing arrangements, as many rural homes rely on TT systems that require specific protection. We also check for the presence of adequate Surge Protection Devices and ensure that all bonding to metallic services is correctly installed. Our team works with care to protect historic features while delivering a modern, compliant electrical installation.

Understanding Your Inspection Results and Classification Codes
When we issue your report, it will contain classification codes that define the urgency of any observed issues. A C1 code indicates that danger is present and requires immediate remedial action. A C2 code signifies a potentially dangerous condition that needs urgent attention. A C3 code is a recommendation for improvement to enhance the safety of the installation, though it is not strictly a failure. If we find an FI code, it means further investigation is required because a potential defect was observed during the inspection. We will discuss any findings with you in plain English so you fully understand the status of your electrical system.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Eicr Certificates in Steyning Questions
Answers to common questions about our Eicr Certificates in Steyning
How often do I need an EICR certificate in Steyning?
For rental properties, a new report is required every five years. For homeowners, it is recommended to have a periodic inspection every ten years. If you have a swimming pool or a high-use commercial premises, you might need testing more frequently. If you have just moved into a new home and don't know when it was last checked, booking an inspection is a smart move for peace of mind.
What happens if my electrical testing in Steyning reveals a fault?
If we find something wrong, it will be marked with a code on your report. A C1 code means there is immediate danger and we will usually fix this on the spot. A C2 code means it is potentially dangerous and needs urgent attention. A C3 code is a recommendation for improvement but doesn't mean your report has failed. Our goal is to make your home safe, and we provide upfront quotes for any remedial work needed to achieve a 'Satisfactory' result.
Is a landlord electrical safety certificate mandatory for all rentals?
Yes, the law applies to almost all private tenancies in England. Landlords must provide a copy of the EICR to their tenants and the local authority if requested. Failing to keep up with these inspections can lead to significant fines and may invalidate your landlord insurance.
How long does a periodic inspection usually take?
A standard three-bedroom home in Steyning usually takes between two to four hours to test thoroughly. This depends on the size of the property and the complexity of the electrical system. We take the time to check every accessible part of the installation to give you a truly accurate report.
