Easy EPC provides domestic and commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports across Chelmsford. With an estimated 8,000 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.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, every private landlord in England must have the electrical installation in their rental property inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified person. A valid EICR must be in place before a new tenant moves in.
For Chelmsford’s estimated 8,000 private rental properties, this means every landlord must maintain a current EICR or face enforcement action.
Local authorities can impose financial penalties of up to £30,000 per breach. Councils can also arrange remedial work themselves and charge the landlord.
Awarded city status in 2012, Chelmsford has grown fast — but the original Victorian and inter-war housing around the city centre is where most EICR issues surface. As an Essex commuter city with strong transport links to London, the rental market in areas like Springfield, Moulsham, and Great Baddow serves professionals and families, with many properties approaching or exceeding the age where electrical installations require careful inspection.
Chelmsford has approximately 68,000 dwellings in total: 49,700 owner-occupied (73%), 8,000 privately rented (12%), and 6,000 social housing (9%).

Yes. Chelmsford has a significant stock of Victorian and inter-war housing near the city centre, and under the 2020 Regulations every private landlord must have a valid EICR renewed at least every five years. New tenancies require a valid report before the tenant moves in. Failure to comply can result in financial penalties of up to £30,000 per breach.
EICR prices in Chelmsford 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 electrical installations in commuter-belt properties nearing inspection age 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 Chelmsford 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.
