How often do landlords need an EICR in England?

Private landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, and provide the report to tenants. Any remedial work identified must be completed within 28 days or sooner if specified.

How long does a full house rewire take?

A typical three-bedroom house takes five to ten working days to rewire, followed by plastering and decoration. The property is usually best left empty during the first-fix stage.

When does a consumer unit need replacing?

Replacement is advised when a board has no RCD protection, is damaged, or is flagged on an EICR. Modern consumer units in homes must meet current fire-resistance and RCD requirements.
