Electrical safety records are easier to manage when they sit within the same calendar as tenancy renewals, insurance documents and planned maintenance. Leaving an inspection until the certificate is close to expiry can make access, remedial work and document delivery harder to coordinate.

SWH Electrical Solutions carries out Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) inspections for landlords across Newcastle and the wider North East. Its National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC)-certified electricians inspect the fixed electrical installation and provide a detailed report that gives you a practical record of its condition. 

Put the Next Inspection Date on the Property Calendar

For private rented homes in England covered by the Electrical Safety Standards regulations, the fixed electrical installation must be inspected and tested by a qualified person at least every five years. The previous report may set an earlier date, so the deadline printed on the current document should guide your planning.
