Landlord EICR Testing in Leighton Buzzard
Leighton Buzzard and Linslade have a busy rental market, helped along by the fast trains to Euston. A lot of that stock is Victorian terraces near the station and post-war semis around them, which is exactly the housing where old wiring tends to still be in service behind newer sockets and switches.
Every privately rented home in England needs its fixed wiring inspected at least every five years, with a copy of the report going to the tenants. John carries out the inspection, codes each finding C1, C2 or C3 and writes it up so you or your letting agent can act on it without a translation. Anything that fails gets a plain explanation, a fixed price and a re-test once it is put right.

Your questions, answered
When does my rental need testing?
At least every five years, and your tenants must get a copy of the report. Testing again between tenancies is not always required but it is worth doing while the house is empty.
Can you test around tenants?
Yes, though it is easier when the house is empty. The power goes off for parts of the inspection, so tenants need warning. John will work to a time that suits everyone.
How long is the report valid?
Up to five years, unless the report itself sets a shorter date. Some installations get a shorter recommendation, and if yours does John will explain why.
