By investing in regular electrical safety inspections, you not only enhance safety and compliance but also improve efficiency and long-term cost-effectiveness.
As a landlord, you have to meet these regulations for your only or main residence, including for an existing tenant as well as new properties. These regulations require landlords to have electrical installation condition testing done on their properties in Portsmouth at least every 5 years.
The person conducting these tests needs to be a qualified person with a qualification covering electrical testing. All of our team are qualified in this way and can help with the testing of an electrical installation.
All electrical wiring is assessed through a visual inspection initially during the EICR test, with further investigative work performed following this remedial work if required.
The way that your electrical systems are inspected and tested during EICR tests will vary based on the kind of systems, the location, and any remedial work that may have already been performed.
With the new regulations for landlords, not only is an EICR investigation required every 5 years in Portsmouth, but testing is also required for properties let on statutory periodic tenancies. In these properties, when the fixed term has expired, the tenancy rolls over to a periodic tenancy automatically by statute, not contract.
These new regulations mean that properties under periodic tenancies also require testing even if the tenants have not moved on, so your next inspection could be required sooner than you think.
Likewise, all existing specified tenancies require an electrical safety check since the regulations changed in 2021. As a landlord, it is your responsibility to ensure that all electrical equipment in your properties is safe and meets national standards.
Working with us can ensure you work with a qualified electrician for this testing in Portsmouth and that you meet the requirements of the private rented sector.

An electrical safety inspection involves a thorough evaluation of an electrical system to identify potential hazards, ensure compliance with regulations, and maintain optimal performance. Here’s what it typically includes:
It begins with a visual inspection of key components. Inspectors examine wiring and cables for damage, fraying, or wear, and ensure outlets, switches, and light fixtures are securely installed and functioning properly.
The electrical panel is also assessed for signs of corrosion, loose connections, or overheating.
The inspection includes testing of electrical components to ensure they are functioning safely and effectively.
Circuit breakers and fuses are tested for proper operation, while Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are checked to ensure they trip correctly in the event of a fault.
Grounding and bonding systems are also examined to verify the system’s protection against electrical faults, safeguarding both people and property.
Compliance assessment is another critical aspect of the inspection.
Inspectors ensure that installations adhere to relevant codes and standards, such as BS 7671: IET Wiring Regulations, and check that the property meets specific safety requirements for its environment, whether residential, commercial, or industrial.
During this process, overloaded circuits are identified, which may pose a fire risk or lead to system failures. Recommendations are made to address these issues, such as installing additional circuits or upgrading outdated components.
Efficiency and performance are also evaluated during the inspection. This involves checking for unnecessary energy loss and identifying outdated or inefficient components that could be replaced to improve overall system performance.
In some cases, appliances are included in the inspection, with Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) used to ensure plug-in devices are safe to use. Inspectors check appliances for frayed cords, damaged plugs, or malfunctioning parts.
For more complex systems, such as those in industrial or commercial settings, thermal imaging may be used to detect overheating or hotspots that are not visible during a standard inspection.
This advanced technology can identify potential problems early, preventing costly repairs or failures down the line.
After completing the inspection, a detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report is provided.
This report highlights any issues found, categorising them by severity and offering recommendations for repairs or upgrades.
Our inspectors also address specific concerns raised by the property owner or occupants, such as flickering lights, frequent circuit trips, or unexplained power outages.
Our inspectors provide tailored follow-up recommendations to maintain the safety and efficiency of the system. These might include upgrading outdated wiring, adding surge protection, or installing energy-saving devices.
By covering all these aspects, an electrical safety inspection ensures the system is safe, efficient, and fully compliant with current regulations.
The frequency of electrical inspections depends on the type of property and its use, ensuring that systems remain safe and compliant over time. Here’s a breakdown:
Regular inspections help identify potential hazards, maintain compliance with regulations, and ensure the safety of occupants and property. Always consult a qualified electrician to determine the appropriate schedule for your property.
