Homes in Leeds
Leeds is a large city, and its housing covers a wide spread of ages. Rows of Victorian back-to-back and through terraces make up big parts of it, with inter-war semis and modern flats alongside. In the oldest houses, an inspection can turn up cable still insulated with rubber or fabric, and wiring of that kind usually needs replacing. In a newer flat, the same checks simply record the condition of what is installed. Whichever you live in, we treat EICRs in Leeds as a look at your actual circuits, not a guess based on the age of the building. Leeds is about 9 miles north-east of our base.
What matters for eicrs in Leeds
An EICR is a check on condition rather than new work. We go through the wiring and the fuse board, then set out what we found in a report for you to keep. We are NAPIT registered. To get a price, tell us what kind of home it is and whether it is let, then use the call button on this page.
- Before the visit, make sure the fuse board is easy to reach and not hidden behind stored boxes.
- We inspect the condition of the wiring around the home, noting any older rubber or fabric-insulated cable.
- You are left with the report, which landlords must keep on file.
Questions about eicrs in Leeds
I rent out a through terrace in Leeds. Is an EICR something I have to arrange?
Yes. Landlords in England need the electrics in a rented home inspected on a regular basis, and they must hold on to the report. That record is the inspection evidence the property needs.
What happens if the inspection finds rubber or fabric wiring?
Cable insulated that way usually needs replacing, so the report will flag it. You then know where the older circuits are before deciding what to do next.
Do you cover Leeds from your base?
Yes. We take on EICRs in Leeds, which sits within our service area about 9 miles north-east of our base.
