EICR & Landlord Electrical Safety Reports in Southampton (Priority Service)

If you let property in Southampton – student accommodation in Portswood, HMOs in Shirley, flats near the waterfront, or family lets in Bitterne – you must ensure the electrical installation is inspected and tested at least every 5 years, or sooner if specified by the previous report. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) documents the safety status of the wiring, highlights defects, codes issues by severity (C1, C2, FI, C3), and confirms whether the installation is Satisfactory or requires remedial work.

When Southampton Landlords Typically Order an EICR

• New tenancy / change of tenant.
• Routine 5‑year legal compliance interval (private rented sector England regulations).
• Licensing / HMO renewal with Southampton City Council.
• Portfolio due diligence for letting & property management companies.
• Insurance or mortgage lender request.

What You Receive

• Site inspection & electrical testing by qualified electricians.
• Digital PDF report with observations & coding.
• Clear costed quote for any required remedial work (where requested).
• Compliance record you can keep for council / lettings / insurers.

Turnaround Options

• Priority report (subject to diary) for urgent tenancy moves.
• Portfolio scheduling – block book multiple Southampton properties to streamline access & reporting.

Consumer Unit (Fuse Board) Upgrades

Older fuse boards can lack RCD protection, leaving circuits unprotected from earth faults and electric shock risk. Upgrading to a modern metal consumer unit with RCD or RCBO protection and SPD (surge protection device) support improves safety, reduces nuisance trips when correctly configured, and can help meet current wiring standards during refurb, extension, or remedial work following an EICR.

Typical upgrade triggers in Southampton homes: kitchen renovations, extensions in older terraces, EICR unsatisfactory results, or insurance renewal requirements.

We install, label, test & certify.

Rewires – Full & Partial

From older post‑war stock to coastal properties and student HMOs, wiring ages. Rubber‑insulated or fabric cabling, lack of CPC (earth) on lighting circuits, and historic DIY joins are all common findings in mixed‑age Southampton housing.

We carry out:

• Full rewires during empty refurbishments.
• Staged / occupied rewires planned around tenants.
• Partial rewires (kitchen, extension, loft conversion).
• Upgrades when adding EV charging or higher‑load appliances.

We test, document, and certify to current regulations. Dust control & property protection measures used wherever practical.

Energy‑efficient LED retrofits, smart lighting controls, exterior security lights for driveways & yards, garden feature lighting, and commercial LED high‑bays for industrial units – we design, supply (where requested), install, and test. Includes dimming zones, occupancy sensors, and replacement of failed fittings.

Fault-Finding & Repairs

Tripping RCD? Burning smell from a socket? Half the lights out after a storm?
