Easy EPC provides domestic and commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports across Cardiff. With an estimated 29,500 privately rented dwellings in the area, electrical safety is a significant concern for landlords, tenants, and homeowners.
Our qualified, registered electricians carry out full inspections to BS 7671. On the day, we automatically fix issues up to £200+VAT where time and parts allow — helping you get a Satisfactory result without a return visit.
Wales does not currently have a standalone EICR mandate equivalent to England’s 2020 Regulations. However, the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 requires landlords to ensure that rental properties are fit for human habitation, which includes safe electrical installations. An EICR every 5 years is considered best practice for demonstrating compliance with this fitness duty.
For Cardiff’s estimated 29,500 private rental properties, maintaining a current EICR is strongly recommended.
Welsh local authorities can take enforcement action against landlords who fail to maintain properties as fit for human habitation under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016.
Cardiff's rental market is driven by its universities and status as the Welsh capital. The Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 introduced specific requirements for electrical safety in Welsh rental properties. Popular rental areas like Cathays, Roath, and Canton feature Victorian and Edwardian terraces where aging wiring is a common EICR concern.
Cardiff has approximately 149,300 dwellings in total: 88,700 owner-occupied (59%), 29,500 privately rented (20%), and 23,400 social housing (16%).

With Cardiff’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Cathays and Roath, keeping on top of electrical safety is important. Wales does not currently have a standalone EICR mandate equivalent to England’s 2020 Regulations, but the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016 requires landlords to ensure properties are fit for human habitation, which includes safe electrical installations. An EICR every five years is considered best practice. HMOs in Wales do require a valid EICR as a licensing condition.
EICR prices in Cardiff typically start from £99.95+VAT for a standard domestic property. The exact cost depends on property size, number of circuits, and accessibility — properties with aging wiring in high-density student rental areas may need additional inspection time. Larger homes, HMOs, and commercial premises cost more. Contact Easy EPC for a free, no-obligation quote.
If your property receives an Unsatisfactory result, you have 28 days to complete the required remedial work using a qualified, registered electrician. C1 codes (Danger Present) require immediate action. Once repairs are complete, the electrician issues a certificate confirming the work. Easy EPC can carry out remedial work up to £200+VAT on the day where time and parts allow.
A standard domestic EICR in Cardiff typically takes 2–4 hours depending on the size of the property and the number of circuits. Larger properties, HMOs, and properties with complex or older electrical installations may take longer. The electrician needs access to all areas including the consumer unit, loft spaces, and any outbuildings.
