Electrical safety certificates (EICRs) for landlords and letting agents across Sutton Coldfield. We arrange access with your tenants, test the property, explain the report in plain English, and give you a fixed price for any work needed to pass.
Sutton Coldfield has a busy lettings market, with apartments near the town centre and Mere Green, family homes in Walmley, Boldmere and Four Oaks, and flats above the shops on the high streets.
Private landlords in England must have rented homes inspected and tested at least every five years, give tenants a copy of the report, and complete any remedial work within 28 days. Birmingham City Council can ask for a copy at any time. Read our guide to the landlord rules.
We test premises right across the area, including:
We give tenants at least 24 hours' notice, can contact them directly or through your agent, and keep power cuts during the test as short as possible.
From one flat to a full portfolio.
Houses and flats, tested at a time that suits your tenants.
Including landlord supplies, shared kitchens and fire alarm circuits.
Tested between tenancies, ready for the new academic year.
Individual flats plus the landlord supply to stairs and common areas.
Mixed-use buildings, with the shop and flats tested together or separately.
Every property on one programme, with reports sent to you and your agent.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is the recognised way to show your wiring has been properly maintained. We inspect and test the whole fixed installation, record every circuit, and code anything that needs attention, giving you a clear report for your insurer, landlord or auditors under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Problems found on test? As part of Able Electric, our electricians can carry out the repairs. Electrical installations & repairs since 2009.
Any C1, C2 or FI means an "Unsatisfactory" report. We explain each one and quote to put it right.
Maximum recommended intervals based on IET Guidance Note 3. Your insurer, or the condition and use of the installation, may call for shorter intervals.
EICR Testing is part of Able Electric, who have been carrying out electrical installations and repairs across the Midlands since 2009. When your EICR, emergency lighting test or thermal survey finds a problem, the same NICEIC-approved team can fix it. There's no second contractor to find and nobody to re-brief.
What landlords and letting agents ask us before booking.
Yes. We test single lets, HMOs, student houses, flats and full portfolios across Sutton Coldfield, including Mere Green, Boldmere, Walmley, Four Oaks, Wylde Green. We're NICEIC Approved.
At least every five years, or sooner if the last report says so. You don't need a new report for each new tenancy, as long as the current one is in date.
Existing tenants within 28 days of the test, new tenants before they move in, and Birmingham City Council within 7 days if they ask.
Any C1, C2 or FI observations must be fixed within 28 days, or sooner if stated. We give you a fixed price per item, our electricians can do the work, and we provide written confirmation for your tenants and the council.
Yes. We can contact tenants directly or work through your letting agent, and we always give at least 24 hours' notice.
The same five-yearly EICR applies, but your HMO licence may also require fire alarm and emergency lighting tests. We can do those on the same visit.
C1 dangers are dealt with on the day. For everything else we provide an itemised quote, so you can see exactly what's needed for a satisfactory result. EICR Testing is part of Able Electric, electrical installation and repair specialists since 2009, so there's no need to find a second contractor.
