Westhouses is very close to the nearby town of Alfreton but also provides access to motorway links such as the M1 and A61. For those seeking traditional English countryside and nature walks, Westhouses offers nearby attractions such as Five Pits Trail, Harwick Hall and Ogston Reservoir.

2) Landlords electrical safety certificate in Westhouses

A landlord's electrical safety certificate, also referred to as an EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is an inspection of electrical systems at a private rental property. An EICR must be conducted every 5 years or sooner if any upgrades or changes to the electrical system are made. 

During the inspection, we identify areas of wear and tear, loose wiring, potential faults as well and any other major areas of non compliance. If you’re wondering what we actually inspect, the team checks the fuse board, wiring, lighting, outlets and sockets. Where rental homes in Westhouses now include EV chargers, smart home devices and underfloor heating, these features are inspected too.

During the inspection, any faults we do find are assigned a classification code which forms part of a universal language, understood by all qualified electricians.

3) Landlord's electrical safety certificate- EICR codes explained

C1- Extremely dangerous fault which could cause immediate risk to individuals and your property in Westhouses. If possible, any C1 faults are made secure by the team at Definitive Electrical Solutions before leaving the property.

C2- A fault needing urgent attention has been identified and must be remedied immediately.

C3- A fault may not necessarily need immediate remedial work but as experienced electricians in Westhouses, we will recommend an improvement.

FI- A potential concern may have been identified during the inspection. To gain a satisfactory outcome, all concerning safety standards must be met.

Where only C3 faults are identified during an EICR, a satisfactory outcome may be permitted. Any faults (C1, C2 and FI) must be remedied within 28 days of the inspection. Don’t panic as we have the skills and experience needed to help correct electrical faults and give you expert recommendations.

Only an approved NICEIC electrician should be used to conduct the inspection. Any electrical installations carried out by the team are in line with BS7671, this includes mandatory regulations for electrical inspections too. We actually use NICEIC approved software to record any faults and generate the official report.

In our experience, tenants want the reassurance of safe and reliable electrical installations at their rental home. Through regular landlord’s electrical safety certificates, you can make sure your property is always occupied but also avoid consequences of non compliance. Private landlords in the UK must legally have an inspection carried out by approved electricians to avoid hefty fines as well as legal action.
