With the private rented sector regulations firmly in place, landlords across Lincolnshire must ensure their properties meet strict electrical safety standards. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is no longer optional — it’s a legal requirement.
At Matson Electrical Services Ltd, we specialise in fast, reliable EICRs for landlords in Woodhall Spa, Boston, Spalding, Skegness, and surrounding areas.
What is an EICR and Why Does It Matter?
An EICR is a detailed inspection and test of your property’s fixed wiring, sockets, lights, and consumer unit. It identifies any dangers such as faulty wiring, lack of earthing, or outdated fuse boards that could lead to shocks or fires.
For landlords, the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 require:
- A valid EICR before a new tenancy begins
- An inspection at least every 5 years
- Remedial work completed within 28 days for any “C1” or “C2” faults
- A copy provided to tenants
Non-compliance can result in hefty fines and potential prohibition notices.
Common Issues Found During Landlord EICRs in Lincolnshire
- Outdated consumer units in older rental properties
- Inadequate RCD protection
- Damaged cables hidden behind walls or in lofts
- Problems caused by tenant alterations
These issues are especially common in holiday lets around Skegness and multi-occupancy buildings in Grimsby.
