Landlord Electrical Safety Reports (EICR) in Hastings, Bexhill & Eastbourne
If you’re a landlord, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a legal requirement for your rental property.
At DSG Electrical Services, I provide professional EICR certificates across Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill, Eastbourne, Battle and Rye — with clear reporting and practical advice.
No confusing jargon. No unnecessary upselling. Just honest guidance and compliant certification.
What Is an EICR?
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a full safety inspection of a property’s electrical installation.
It checks:
- Consumer unit condition
- Earthing and bonding
- Wiring integrity
- Socket and lighting circuits
- Signs of wear, damage or overheating
- Compliance with current regulations
Once complete, you’ll receive a report marked either:
✔ Satisfactory
or
❌ Unsatisfactory (with coded observations)
Is an EICR a Legal Requirement for Landlords?
Yes.
Under current regulations, landlords must ensure:
- An EICR is carried out at least every 5 years
- A copy is provided to tenants
- Any C1 or C2 issues are corrected within 28 days
Failing to comply can result in fines.
If remedial work is required, I can carry that out promptly and issue confirmation once the property meets standards.
Clear, Practical Reporting
Some reports are overcomplicated and unclear.
My approach is straightforward:
✔ Thorough inspection
✔ Clear coding explanations
✔ Honest advice on what’s urgent
✔ Practical solutions if remedial work is needed
I understand landlords need quick turnaround and minimal disruption to tenants.
Failed EICR? No Problem.
If your report comes back unsatisfactory, it usually relates to:
- Outdated consumer units
- Lack of RCD protection
- Earthing or bonding issues
- Damaged accessories
- Minor non-compliance
I can carry out the necessary remedial work efficiently and re-certify the installation once complete.
