As a landlord, you are legally responsible for ensuring that the electrical installation in your rental property is safe. Regular EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) are required every 5 years, but electrical faults can arise at any time.
🔹 Are your tenants reporting faulty electrics?
🔹 Do your circuit breakers keep tripping?
🔹 Are you concerned about potential electrical hazards in your rental property?
At Wessex Electrical Services Ltd, we provide rapid response fault finding for rental properties, helping landlords stay compliant with safety regulations and ensuring that tenants remain safe and satisfied.
