EICR & Landlord Certificates in Elderslie
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal report, produced after a qualified inspection, that assesses the condition of a property’s fixed electrical installation — the wiring, consumer unit, sockets and permanently connected equipment — and records anything needed to bring it to a safe standard.
In Scotland, the Repairing Standard that applies to privately rented housing requires a landlord to keep the installations for the supply of electricity in a reasonable state of repair and in proper working order, with electrical safety inspections carried out by a competent person. The EICR is the document that records that inspection. Reports are commonly renewed on a five-yearly cycle unless an inspection recommends an earlier re-check.
Elderslie is a commuter village between Paisley and Johnstone, and like anywhere in Renfrewshire the requirement is the same whatever the property. These are the moments landlords usually get in touch:
- The property is being let or re-let
- An existing EICR is due for renewal
- Improvement works are planned between tenancies
- The wiring is older and hasn’t been checked recently
What’s Covered in an EICR
A proper inspection, a clear written report, and honest advice on anything that needs attention.
Full Inspection
The fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets and connections are inspected and tested thoroughly.
Fault & Deterioration Checks
Faults, deterioration and non-compliant previous work are identified and recorded in the report.
Written Report
A clear written report, with any remedial work explained and quoted in writing before it’s carried out.
Remedial Work
Where a report flags something, we can put it right — from a consumer unit upgrade to a partial rewire.

We regularly complete electrical work for landlords, including improvement works between tenancies and modernising older housing stock. The same approach applies to inspections: we report what we find, we don’t recommend work that isn’t needed, and we explain clearly why something is required when it is.
If the report does flag remedial work, we can carry it out — from a consumer unit upgrade through to a full or partial rewire — and issue certification on completion.
- Findings explained clearly, in plain terms

EICR & Landlord Certificate FAQs — Elderslie
Do I need an EICR to let my property in Elderslie?
In Scotland the Repairing Standard for privately rented housing requires electrical installations to be kept in a reasonable state of repair and in proper working order, with safety inspections carried out by a competent person — and the EICR is the report that records that inspection. If you’re unsure whether yours is still in date, get in touch and we’ll advise.
How long is an EICR valid for?
Reports are commonly renewed on a five-yearly cycle, though an inspection may recommend an earlier re-check if issues are found.
What happens if the report identifies a fault?
We explain the findings clearly and provide a written quote for the remedial work needed. Nothing is carried out until you’ve agreed it.
Can you carry out the remedial work as well as the inspection?
Yes. Where a report flags something, we can put it right — anything from a consumer unit upgrade to a partial rewire — and issue certification on completion.
Do you work with letting agents as well as landlords?
Yes. We work directly with landlords and can coordinate with letting agents and property management companies where needed.
Can you time an inspection around a change of tenancy?
Yes. We regularly schedule inspections and any remedial work around tenancy changeovers so the property is ready for the next let.
