In today’s world of strict electrical safety standards, the question, “How often do I need an EICR for my Hendon property?” is more relevant than ever. Whether you are a landlord, homeowner, or business operator, keeping up with Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) is not just a formality—it's a vital part of protecting lives and assets.
At RCD Electrical, we specialise in providing thorough and NICEIC-certified EICR inspections tailored to Hendon properties. We help ensure your premises remain legally compliant and electrically safe.
EICR Frequency for Homeowners in Hendon
If you live in your own home in Hendon, an EICR is recommended every 10 years, or when you move into a new property. This ensures the integrity of your wiring and identifies any potential risks before they develop into serious issues.
EICR Requirements for Landlords
Landlords have a legal duty to carry out an EICR every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. This applies to all rental properties under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. RCD Electrical helps Hendon landlords meet their legal obligations with prompt and efficient service.
