EICR & Landlord Certificates in Erskine
SJI Electrical carries out Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) and landlord electrical certificate work across Erskine — for rental properties in the original 1970s stock of Bargarran and North Barr as much as the town's more recent 1980s–90s and 2000s estates.
In Scotland, landlords must keep a satisfactory EICR for a rented property under the Repairing Standard, renewed at least every five years or at each change of tenancy, whichever comes first. We can inspect, test and certify your Erskine rental property's electrics accordingly, and explain clearly what any report finds.
Three quick questions, then it goes straight to SJI on WhatsApp.

EICRs for Landlords in Erskine
Under Scotland's Repairing Standard (Housing (Scotland) Act 2006), landlords must keep a satisfactory Electrical Installation Condition Report for a rented property, renewed at least every five years or at each change of tenancy, with a copy given to the tenant. That applies just as much to a former housing-association property in east Erskine as to a newer private let on one of the town's 1980s–2000s estates. Whichever phase your property falls into, an EICR is the same process: inspection, testing, and a written report on the condition of the installation.
- A satisfactory EICR required at least every 5 years
- Also required at each change of tenancy
- A copy must be given to the tenant
- Applies to housing-association and private lets alike
- Especially relevant on Erskine's original 1970s stock

EICR & Landlord Certificate FAQs — Erskine
How often does an EICR need to be renewed in Scotland?
Under the Repairing Standard, landlords must renew a satisfactory EICR at least every five years, or sooner if there's a change of tenancy.
Do I need a new EICR every time I get a new tenant?
An EICR is required at each change of tenancy as well as on the five-year cycle, whichever comes first, and a copy must be given to the incoming tenant.
My Erskine property is one of the original 1970s houses — does that make a difference?
It can. Properties from Erskine's original 1970s phase in Bargarran, North Barr and Park Mains are now over 50 years old, so an inspection is more likely to flag an ageing consumer unit or circuits that need attention.
Can you carry out improvement works flagged by an EICR?
Yes. We can carry out fuse board upgrades, partial rewires and general improvement works identified during an inspection, planned around your tenancy.
Is the certification recognised for letting purposes?
All work is completed by qualified and certified electricians, with relevant approvals and documentation provided where required.
What happens if my Erskine rental property fails its EICR?
The report will identify what needs attention. We can carry out fuse board upgrades, partial rewires or other improvement works flagged by the inspection, then re-test and issue updated certification.
