With so many student lets and HMOs around Osborne Road and West Jesmond, landlord EICRs and HMO fire alarm checks are our most common jobs in NE2.
Jesmond (NE2) is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terraces, many of them student lets and HMOs. Jesmond's Victorian and Edwardian terraces are beautiful but often hide decades of add-ons in their wiring. Many are now student lets and HMOs, so landlord EICRs, fire alarms and remedial work make up much of our work here.
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property, carried out to BS 7671. We inspect the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, lights and earthing and bonding, then test each circuit to check it will disconnect safely under fault conditions and that the insulation is sound.
The result is a report that says whether the installation is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory for continued use, with every issue listed and coded.
