Our Process for Obtaining a Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate
booking
Begin the compliance journey by booking a landlord electrical safety certificate appointment with our expert team. You can easily schedule a convenient date and time through our user-friendly online platform or by contacting our dedicated customer service team.
inspection
Our certified electricians will arrive at your property at the scheduled time. They’ll conduct a visual inspection of all accessible electrical systems, including wiring, light fixtures, and power outlets. We assess the safety of your electrical installations, focusing on identifying any potential hazards or areas not compliant with current regulations.
Testing
Using specialised equipment, we perform in-depth tests on your property’s electrical systems. This includes insulation resistance, circuit continuity, and earth fault loop impedance tests to ensure everything operates safely and efficiently. Our electricians evaluate the risk level of any identified issues, prioritising them based on urgency and impact on overall safety.
Reporting
You’ll receive an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) detailing the findings from our inspection and tests. The report includes any defects or deviations from the wiring regulations and their implications for safety. Alongside the report, we provide clear recommendations for any necessary repairs or improvements.
Certification
Once any required repairs are made, and a follow-up inspection confirms compliance, we issue your Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate. This document certifies that your property’s electrical systems have been professionally inspected and meet the UK’s stringent safety standards. You receive digital copy of your certificate, making it easy to share with tenants, property management agencies, or for your records.
Ongoing Support
Our service doesn’t end with the issuance of a certificate. We’re here to provide ongoing advice and support, helping you maintain the electrical safety of your properties. Testar offers a reminder service to notify you when your next safety inspection is due, ensuring you remain compliant with all future regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions About our landlord electrical safety certificate service
What is a Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate?
A Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate, evidenced by an EICR, certifies that the electrical systems and installations in a rental property are safe and meet UK safety standard BS 7671. It’s a legal requirement for landlords to ensure their properties are electrically safe.
How often do I need to renew my Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate?
The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector regulations require landlords to ensure an EICR is conducted every five years, or more frequently if recommended by an electrical engineer.
What happens if my property fails the inspection?
If your property does not pass the inspection, the EICR will detail any faults or deficiencies. Testar provides comprehensive recommendations for necessary repairs or adjustments, and once these are completed, we can re-issue the safety certificate.
Can Testar handle repairs if issues are found during the inspection?
Yes, Testar offers a full range of electrical repair services. Our team can address any issues identified during the inspection, ensuring your property meets all safety requirements.
What areas do Testar’s electrical safety services cover?
Testar provides comprehensive electrical safety services across London and the Home Counties. Our team of certified electricians is equipped to service a wide range of property types, ensuring landlords throughout the Greater London area and beyond can meet their legal obligations for electrical safety with confidence.
How long does the inspection take, and do tenants need to be present?
The duration of the inspection depends on the size and complexity of the property’s electrical system. Typically, an inspection can take anywhere from a two hours to a half day. Tenants do not necessarily need to be present, but access to all areas of the property is required. We strive to schedule inspections at times that are convenient for both landlords and tenants to minimise disruption.
What if I have multiple properties that need certification?
Testar is fully equipped to handle inspections and certifications for multiple properties. We offer tailored services for landlords with multiple rental units, including package deals and discounts. Contact us to discuss your specific needs, and we can arrange a schedule that ensures all your properties are inspected efficiently and certified for electrical safety.
Are there any preparations I need to make before the inspection?
To ensure the inspection process is as smooth and efficient as possible, we recommend that you ensure all electrical panels and outlets are accessible, remove any obstructions that might impede the inspection of fixed wiring, and provide any previous electrical inspection reports you may have. This preparation helps our electricians complete the landlord electrical safety certificate inspection thoroughly and without unnecessary delays.
How soon after the inspection will I receive my Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate?
Following the completion of the inspection and any necessary repairs, Testar aims to issue the Landlord Electrical Safety Certificate promptly. Typically, landlords can expect to receive their certificates next day of the inspection’s completion, provided no significant issues need addressing.
