Electricians for landlords and property managers
EICR programmes, void inspections, change-of-tenancy testing and certificate management for commercial landlords and managing agents across Leeds and West Yorkshire.
Why landlords need a specialist commercial electrician
Commercial landlords carry the duty of care under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the responsibility to maintain safe installations across let property. The penalties for not doing it are reputational, insurance-related and (in extreme cases) legal.
The work is also operationally awkward: tenancies change, voids open up at short notice, leases vary in what’s landlord-responsibility vs tenant-responsibility, and the certificate paperwork has to be on file before each new tenant signs.

How we work with portfolio landlords
A named contract manager owns the relationship. They:
- Schedule EICRs and tests across all properties to minimise tenant disruption
- Coordinate void-period work to the lettings calendar
- Push remedials through procurement and back to a closed report
- Produce the annual compliance dashboard
You get one point of contact for all your properties, one consolidated invoice format, and a single quarterly review meeting.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for the EICR on a let commercial property?
The landlord, under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. The current cycle requires the test at five-year intervals or on change of tenancy. We can carry it out, issue the certificate and manage remedials.
Do you handle multi-property landlord portfolios?
Yes. Portfolio landlords are a core client base. We schedule EICRs across all properties on a rolling cycle, manage remedials in-house, and produce a portfolio-level compliance dashboard.
Can you turn around a void-period EICR quickly between tenancies?
Yes. Same-week response on void EICRs for portfolio landlords on a contract. Reports issued within 48 hours of completion so the new tenant can move in on schedule.
How do you handle remedials found during the EICR?
Remedials quote issued within 48 hours of the inspection. We carry out the works in-house and re-issue a Satisfactory EICR on completion — no second contractor, no chain of liability.
