EICR & Landlord Certificates in Mosspark
SJI Electrical carries out EICR inspections and landlord electrical certification — based in Paisley and working across Mosspark, south-west Glasgow and the wider Greater Glasgow area.
Mosspark was laid out from 1919, so a let property here is very often a century-old house. That is the honest reason an inspection matters more in this part of Glasgow than the calendar date on the last report.
Three quick questions, then it goes straight to SJI on WhatsApp.

EICR Inspections for Mosspark Landlords
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal report, produced after a qualified inspection, on the condition of a property's fixed electrical installation — the wiring, the consumer unit, the sockets and anything permanently connected. Under the Repairing Standard, private landlords in Scotland are required to hold a valid EICR for a let property, and reports are commonly renewed on a five-yearly cycle unless an inspection recommends sooner.
Mosspark gives that requirement real weight. The scheme was built from 1919 as a roughly 1,500-home Glasgow Corporation development influenced by garden-city planning, laid out by Mactaggart and Mickel — around two-thirds cottages, the rest semi-detached and terraced houses with gardens. Housing of that age has usually been rewired at least once, sometimes in stages by different hands over several decades, and an inspection is the only reliable way to find out what is actually behind the walls rather than assuming.
- The property is being let or re-let
- An existing report is approaching renewal
- The wiring has been altered or extended over the years
- Improvement works are planned between tenancies
- You have inherited a property and hold no paperwork for it
What an EICR Covers in a Mosspark Home
A proper inspection, a clear written report, and straight advice on anything that needs attention.
The Fixed Installation
Wiring, sockets, switches and lighting circuits inspected and tested throughout the property.
Consumer Unit Assessment
The board is judged on the protection it provides, and upgraded only if the report calls for it.

Remedial Work, If Needed
Where older wiring needs replacing, partial or full rewiring is quoted separately before it starts.

We regularly complete domestic electrical work for landlords, including improvement works carried out between tenancies and the modernising of older housing stock. Inspections are handled the same way: we explain what we have found, we quote in writing for anything that needs doing, and we say so plainly when nothing does.
Mosspark is bounded to the south by the Paisley Canal line and is served best by Corkerhill station, which makes it an easy let for tenants commuting into the city — and an area where reports tend to be needed in a hurry around a changeover. Booking the inspection before the tenancy ends usually removes that pressure entirely.
- Findings explained clearly, in plain terms

- Inspections scheduled around tenancy dates where possible
- Coordination with letting agents and property managers
- Certification issued on completion of any agreed work

EICR & Landlord Certificate FAQs — Mosspark
Do I need an EICR to let a house in Mosspark?
Private landlords in Scotland are required to hold a valid EICR for a let property. Send us the date of your current report and we can tell you whether it is still in date.
Does a century-old house automatically fail an inspection?
No. Age on its own is not a fault — what matters is the condition of the installation and any alterations made to it over the years. The report records what is actually there.
How long does the report stay valid?
Reports are commonly renewed on a five-yearly cycle, though an inspection can recommend an earlier re-check where the installation warrants it.
Can the inspection be done between tenancies?
Yes, and it is usually the easiest time to do it — access is straightforward and any remedial work can be completed before the next tenant moves in.
What happens if remedial work is needed?
We explain the findings, quote the work in writing, and only proceed once you have agreed. Certification follows on completion.
Do you work with letting agents in Mosspark?
Yes. We work directly with landlords and can coordinate access and reporting through a letting agent or property management company.
