Harrow has one of the busiest private rental sectors in north-west London, and the law is clear: every privately rented home needs a valid EICR at least every five years, and at the start of each new tenancy. As local landlord electricians we test rentals right across the borough, from the 1930s semis of North Harrow and the Victorian terraces of South Harrow to the purpose-built flats around the town centre, and we know the wiring quirks each type tends to throw up.
We carry out the inspection, code every finding clearly and give you a formal report you can hand straight to your letting agent or tenants. If anything fails we explain exactly what it means in plain English and quote a fair fixed price to put it right. As a NAPIT-registered and City & Guilds qualified firm working to the 18th Edition, our reports stand up to scrutiny from Harrow Council's private sector housing team.

Your questions, answered
How often does my Harrow rental need an EICR?
At least every five years, and again whenever a new tenant moves in. Given how actively Harrow Council enforces the rules, it is worth keeping the certificate current rather than risking a fine of up to thirty thousand pounds.
Can you turn the report around quickly?
Yes. We know landlords and agents often need the certificate before a tenancy starts, so we book the test in promptly and get the report to you without delay. Give us a ring and we will tell you straight when we can be there.
What if the property fails?
A fail simply means some items are coded C1 or C2 and need attention. We explain each one clearly and give you a fixed price to make it safe, then re-test and issue the satisfactory certificate you need.
