Landlord Electrical Services FAQs
Can you arrange access directly with tenants?
Yes, where agreed by the landlord or letting agent. Access can often be arranged directly with tenants to make repairs, inspections and small jobs easier to organise. If the tenant is going to be out and is happy for access to be arranged, a key can also be collected from the landlord or letting agent where suitable.
Do you carry out EICRs for landlords?
Yes. Richard regularly carries out EICRs for landlords, both directly and through several local letting agents he works with. A report is provided once the inspection and testing has been completed, and any remedial work required can be quoted for separately.
Do smoke alarms in rental properties have to be wired?
Not always. Some rental properties may have battery smoke alarms, while others may have mains-powered or interlinked smoke alarm systems.
Richard regularly fits battery smoke alarms with 10-year batteries that link wirelessly with other smoke alarms, which can be a good option where hardwiring alarms would be difficult or disruptive.
The most suitable option depends on the property, its layout and the current requirements. Richard can check what is already installed and advise whether replacement alarms, interlinked alarms or additional smoke, heat or carbon monoxide alarms are needed.
Where do carbon monoxide alarms
need to go?
Carbon monoxide alarms are usually needed in rooms where there is a fuel-burning appliance, such as a gas boiler, gas fire, wood burner or open fire.
The exact position depends on the appliance, room layout and manufacturer’s instructions, but they are normally fitted in the same room as the appliance and positioned where they can be heard if they activate.
Richard can advise on suitable locations and install carbon monoxide alarms alongside smoke alarms, heat alarms or other electrical work at the property.
Can you help get a rental property ready for new tenants?
Yes. Richard can carry out electrical repairs and small improvements before new tenants move in, including damaged sockets, faulty lights, extractor fans, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, consumer unit work, EICRs, tripping faults and other minor electrical issues.
This can be useful between tenancies when the property is empty and small jobs need sorting before it is handed over.
Electrical Repairs in Occupied Rental Homes
Electrical faults in occupied rental properties need to be dealt with properly and safely.
RW Currion Electrical can investigate and repair common issues such as lights not working, sockets losing power, circuits tripping, faulty switches, damaged accessories, shower faults, extractor fan problems and minor electrical damage.
Where required, access can be arranged with the landlord, tenant or letting agent to make the process as simple as possible.
Smoke, Heat and Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Smoke alarms, heat alarms and carbon monoxide alarms are an important part of rental property safety.
RW Currion Electrical can install or replace domestic smoke alarms, heat alarms and CO alarms, including interlinked systems where suitable.
This may include smoke alarms in hallways and landings, heat alarms in kitchens and carbon monoxide alarms near relevant fuel-burning appliances.
Alarm work can be carried out as a separate job or alongside other electrical repairs and improvements at the property.
Extractor Fans and Ventilation
Extractor fans are common problem areas in rental properties, especially in bathrooms, shower rooms and kitchens.
Faulty or ineffective fans can lead to condensation, damp, mould and tenant complaints. RW Currion Electrical can replace failed extractor fans, install suitable new fans and advise on options such as timer fans, humidistat fans and inline fans where appropriate.
Good ventilation can help protect the property as well as making the home more comfortable for tenants.
EICRs and Remedial Work for Landlords
EICRs can be carried out for landlords who need an electrical safety report for a rental property.
If an EICR identifies issues that need attention, Richard can also help with remedial work, repairs and further investigation where required. Remedial work is quoted for separately, helping landlords arrange any required work within the required timescales, usually within 28 days or sooner if stated on the report.
