EICR & Landlord Certificates in Inchinnan
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the formal record of a qualified inspection of a property's fixed electrical installation — the wiring, the consumer unit, the sockets and anything permanently connected — setting out its condition and anything that needs putting right.
In Scotland this sits inside the Repairing Standard, the statutory standard that applies to privately rented housing. It requires a landlord to keep the installations for the supply of electricity in a reasonable state of repair and in proper working order, and requires electrical safety inspections to be carried out by a competent person. The EICR is the document that evidences that inspection, and reports are commonly renewed on a five-yearly cycle unless an inspection recommends an earlier re-check.
Inchinnan's housing includes properties originally built by employers for their workers, and stock of that age is exactly where a report is worth having in hand rather than assumed.
- The property is being let or re-let
- An existing EICR is approaching its renewal date
- Improvement works are planned between tenancies
- The wiring is older and has not been checked in years

A report that identifies an issue is not a problem in itself — it is the point of doing it. What matters is what happens next, and that is where an honest contractor makes a difference. We explain what has been found, what the practical consequence is, and what actually needs doing to resolve it.
Any remedial work is quoted in writing before it starts. We will not pad a report with work that is not required, and we will say clearly if something is a genuine safety issue rather than a nice-to-have.
- Findings explained in plain terms, not just codes
- Remedial work quoted in writing before it begins
- Inspections timed around tenancy changeovers where possible
- Certification issued on completion of any work

EICR & Landlord Certificate FAQs — Inchinnan
Do I need an EICR to let a property in Inchinnan?
The Repairing Standard requires a landlord to keep a rented property's electrical installation in a reasonable state of repair and in proper working order, with safety inspections carried out by a competent person. The EICR is the report that records that inspection. If you are unsure where your property stands, get in touch and we will advise.
How often does the report need renewing?
Reports are commonly renewed on a five-yearly cycle, though an inspection can recommend an earlier re-check if the condition of the installation warrants it.
What does the inspection actually involve?
The fixed installation is inspected and tested — wiring, consumer unit, sockets and permanently connected equipment — and the findings are written up as a report on its condition.
What if something is found that needs fixing?
We explain the finding in plain terms and provide a written quote for the remedial work before anything is carried out. Nothing gets done on the assumption you agreed to it.
Can you inspect between tenancies?
Yes. Timing an inspection and any follow-up work around a changeover is usually the least disruptive approach, and we schedule it that way wherever the dates allow.
Do you deal with letting agents as well as landlords?
Yes. We work directly with landlords and can also coordinate with letting agents and property management companies handling the property on their behalf.
