Landlord EICR in Cardiff
5-yearly landlord EICR in Cardiff. NICEIC-certified, same-week slots, full PDF report and fixed remedial quotes. Welsh Government compliant.
What matters for landlord compliance is the condition of this installation, not the average condition of installations generally. If you let property in Cardiff, the 5-yearly EICR is no longer optional and Cardiff Council expect to see a valid certificate every renewal. The order of work matters: isolate, test, explain, then price. Skipping the middle two is how people end up paying twice. The alternative — ignoring interlinked smoke/heat alarm checks included — tends to cost more later. Photographs of anything hidden are taken as standard, because you should not have to take our word for what is above the ceiling. It is the kind of detail that separates a tidy job from a callback. Whether this is urgent or simply overdue, the sequence for landlord compliance does not change much.

- Nine times in ten the trigger is welsh Government landlord regs compliant.
- It is common for full PDF report within 48 hours to be mistaken for something more serious.
- Fixed-price remedials, no surprise invoicing. The remedy depends on what the readings say, not on the symptom alone.
What's different about Cardiff
Common around CF10–CF24 — many Cardiff rentals sit in a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Cathays and Roath, 1930s semis around Whitchurch, and modern estates in Pontprennau and Pentwyn — and many older Cardiff properties still run on rewireable BS 3036 fuse boxes that no longer meet 18th Edition requirements, which is the single biggest cause of C2 fails we see at certification.
Around CF10–CF24: if your property is an HMO, the same EICR rules apply but with extra alarm and emergency-lighting checks. We carry that combined inspection in a single visit to keep the cost down.
Not glamorous, but common: interlinked smoke/heat alarm checks included.
Same-week slots for tenancy turnover — worth mentioning when you first call so we bring the right kit.

Common questions
How much is a landlord EICR in Cardiff?
From £150 for a standard 3-bed flat or terrace. HMOs and larger properties priced individually.
Can you give a price over the phone?
A realistic range, yes. A firm figure follows the testing, because where remedials are needed, we usually clear C1 and a simpler cause look identical from the outside.
Who do I speak to on the day?
The electrician doing the work. There is no call centre between you and the person at the Cardiff property.
What should I have ready before you arrive?
Access to the board and to the affected area, plus any previous certificates. That is enough to start at the Cardiff property.
Do you cover Cardiff for landlord compliance?
Put simply: yes — Cardiff and the surrounding CF10–CF24 postcodes are part of our regular working area, including Penarth and Caerphilly, and Cardiff Council notification is handled by us where the work requires it.
What is not included?
Building work, decoration and anything outside the electrical scope. Those are flagged rather than absorbed.
