Very professional, friendly service and one we will be using again
It’s imperative that landlords provide safe and compliant electrical services at their rental properties.
Part of demonstrating regulatory compliance is using a qualified electrician for services such as EICR inspection, new installations and any fault finding service you might need.
Electrical services for landlords vary according to the size of property, age of electrical installation and complexities such as hard to access consumer units. Typically, electrical services such as a landlord's EICR costs between £230 - £410. Any fault finding services can range from £85- £150 for the first hour of work. Yeovil Electrics are so confident with our first class workmanship that all our installation work comes with a 6 years insurance backed guarantee.
What do electrical services for landlords in Yeovil include?
Core electrical services include installation of smoke and carbon monoxide alarm systems. In the UK, at least one smoke alarm must be installed on every floor and carbon monoxide alarms need to be installed in rooms with a fixed combustion appliance. An EICR is a popular service we provide to landlords in Yeovil, especially as you need one every 5 years or when tenancy changes. Another popular electrical service for landlords is extractor fan installation. We recently worked at a 2 bedroom property in Broadleaze where the landlord of the 90’s build took their role as landlord very seriously. The landlord noticed the existing extractor fan in the bathroom could do with an upgrade as it was slightly outdated, very noisy and didn't appear to expel moisture effectively. Being so provocative meant that tenants wouldn't have to deal with any damp or black mould issues caused by poor ventilation.
Who should landlords work with for electrical services in Yeovil?
Electrical services at rental properties need to abide by strict standards and regulations. That's why it’s best practice to work with a qualified, NAPIT approved electrician like Yeovil Electrics. As fully qualified, we can sign off on major electrical work which falls under Part P of Building Regulations, saving landlords time and money. While carrying out electrical services at the Broadleaze rental property, the landlord inquired about installing a new dedicated circuit as the tenants requested a clothes dryer to help dry clothes during Winter months. As a dryer is considered a high power appliance, it could cause tripping of any shared breakers so we advised installing a brand new circuit. We’re actually heading back to the property in a few weeks to install a new circuit and connect the clothes dryer.
