When you need it

Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person, give tenants a copy of the report, and put right anything the report says needs attention. Social landlords have had the same duty for new tenancies since 1 December 2025; for existing social tenancies, the inspection had to be done before 1 November 2026. Social landlords must also have electrical equipment they provide checked at least every five years.

Many commercial owners and managing agents ask for periodic reports on a similar cycle.

Questions

What do the codes mean?

C1 means danger present, C2 potentially dangerous, C3 improvement recommended, and FI further investigation needed. C1, C2 or FI make the report unsatisfactory.

Does someone need to be at the property?

Someone needs to give access. Power will be off for parts of the visit, so we agree timing in advance.

Can gas and electrical checks be done together?

Where both are needed we can coordinate them. List both in your enquiry.

PAT testing

Available for any landlord, office, shop or site that needs it. A qualified tester inspects and tests portable electrical equipment where your risk assessment calls for it. How often depends on the type of equipment and how it is used; not every appliance needs an annual test.
