Safety Certifications

Safety certifications are essential for ensuring your property meets all UK safety regulations. Epco Solutions provides comprehensive safety certification services including EICR, EIC, Minor Works Certificates, PAT Testing, and gas safety documentation for landlords, homeowners, and businesses across Manchester.

What is an EICR?

An EICR involves a detailed inspection and testing of all electrical systems in a property, including wiring, sockets, light fittings, consumer units, and earthing arrangements. The report identifies any damage, deterioration, defects, or conditions that could give rise to danger and categorises them by severity.

Who Needs an EICR?

  • check Landlords: Legally required every 5 years or at change of tenancy
  • check Homeowners: Recommended every 10 years for owner-occupied homes
  • check Commercial Properties: Required every 5 years for compliance
  • check Buyers & Sellers: Often requested during property transactions
  • check Insurance: May be needed for insurance claims or renewals

We provide the full range of electrical certification and testing services:

A standard EICR for a 3-bedroom property typically takes 2-4 hours. Larger or more complex properties may take longer. We will advise you on the expected duration when you book.

If issues are found, the report will detail the severity of each observation. We can carry out any necessary remedial work and then re-test so you receive a satisfactory certificate. Landlords have 28 days to address C1 (danger present) and C2 (potentially dangerous) findings.

Yes, since July 2020, landlords in England are legally required to have a valid EICR before a new tenancy begins and must renew it at least every 5 years. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000.
