Easy EPC provides domestic and commercial Electrical Installation Condition Reports across Gloucester. 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 Gloucester’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.
The medieval docks are now trendy apartments, but Gloucester's bread and butter is the terraced and semi-detached housing of Barton, Tredworth, and Kingsholm — where rewiring is often long overdue. The cathedral city's compact rental market serves a mix of young professionals and families, with much of the private rented stock dating from the Victorian and Edwardian eras when electrical standards were non-existent.
Gloucester has approximately 52,000 dwellings in total: 33,100 owner-occupied (64%), 8,000 privately rented (15%), and 8,000 social housing (15%).
