Who Needs an EICR in Chester?

In Chester, electrical safety is a responsibility for landlords, homeowners, and businesses alike. An EICR not only keeps you compliant with regulations but also protects the people who live or work in your property. 

From historic townhouses in the city centre to modern offices overlooking the River Dee, every building benefits from regular checks to ensure the electrics are safe, reliable, and up to standard.

For Landlords and Property Managers

If you’re renting out a property in Chester, an EICR is a legal requirement. 

The 2020 Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) regulation means landlords must ensure their rental properties have a valid EICR every five years. This ensures the safety of your tenants, protects you from potential legal issues, and provides peace of mind for both parties.

For Homeowners

Not a landlord? No problem. While homeowners aren’t legally required to have an EICR, it’s still a smart move to ensure your home is electrically safe. Old wiring, faulty circuits, and other hidden hazards can be difficult to spot. A thorough inspection can help you identify any issues before they become serious (and costly) problems.

For Businesses and Commercial Properties

Chester is home to a thriving business community, from independent shops in the Rows to modern office spaces. Whether you’re a small business or a larger enterprise, ensuring the electrical safety of your premises is vital, not only for safety but for legal and insurance reasons. An up-to-date EICR can protect your employees, customers, and equipment while ensuring you’re meeting all regulatory requirements.

For Public Sector and Institutions

Chester has a strong community of schools, healthcare providers, and other public services. For these establishments, electrical safety is essential to safeguard everyone who walks through the door. From schools in the suburbs to the NHS facilities across the city, regular EICRs ensure your premises are safe and fit for purpose.

What Does an EICR in Chester Cover?

We believe in clear, straightforward reporting. When you book an EICR with Peninsula Electrical, you’ll get a detailed, easy-to-understand report on the condition of your property’s electrical system. Here’s what you can expect:

A Full Inspection of Electrical Systems

We’ll assess everything from your wiring to your fuse board, testing all circuits and key components to ensure they’re safe and fully functional. We leave no stone unturned.
