Looking for a Landlord Electrical Services Electrician?

1) Landlord Electrical Services in Brighton & Hove

One of the very first customers we had was a landlord out in Portslade who needed an EICR on their rental property. While I was carrying it out I found a few minor issues that would have failed the report if I'd left them. I sorted them there and then. That landlord still uses us today, for routine maintenance, EICRs, and pretty much anything electrical across their portfolio.

That's what landlord electrical work is really about. Catching the small stuff before it becomes a compliance problem.

2) What I Cover

I provide landlord electrical services across Brighton & Hove for rental properties of all sizes, from single buy-to-lets to HMOs. This includes:

• EICRs (Electrical Installation Condition Reports)
• Routine electrical maintenance between tenancies
• Smoke and heat alarm testing and installation
• Emergency lighting checks and installation
• Fault finding and repairs

If you're a landlord or letting agent managing multiple properties, I can set up a schedule so certificates never lapse and you're not scrambling before a tenancy renewal.

3) How It Works

Getting a job booked is straightforward.

Get in touch. Call me directly or fill out the contact form. I answer my own phone, so you're speaking to the person doing the work, not a call centre.

Written estimate. For larger jobs I may need to arrange a site visit first, but you'll always get a clear written estimate before anything's booked.

We book the work in. I'll confirm a date and send booking reminders so you and your tenants know exactly when to expect me.

The work gets carried out. I liaise directly with tenants to keep disruption to a minimum, particularly important if the property's occupied.

Certification issued on completion. Your EICR, Minor works cert, Electrical certificate or alarm test paperwork lands with you as soon as the job's done, ready to file and keep safe

4) A Recent HMO Job on Coombe Road

Not long ago I did a full renovation job on a property on Coombe Road. It was a partial rewire of the sockets and lighting to make it a more modern standard for new tenants. I worked out the right number of sockets for each room, and because the landlord was converting the property into an HMO, I also explained why new interlinked smoke alarms would be needed. That's a legal requirement for HMOs, not optional, and it's the kind of thing that gets missed when landlords use a general contractor rather than someone who does this work regularly.

5) Why Landlords and Letting Agents Choose Me

I'm NAPIT registered, which means my work is inspected and my certification carries weight with letting agents and local authorities. I've got over 100 five-star google reviews from customers across Brighton and Hove, a lot of them landlords with repeat business.

Every job comes with a 12 month workmanship guarantee, plus manufacturer's guarantees on any parts fitted. Materials are included in the price I quote, and everything gets tested before I leave.

The bit that seems to matter most to landlords is communication. I answer the phone myself. If there's a delay or a change to an appointment, you get a booking reminder, not radio silence. When you're managing several properties and juggling tenants, that reliability counts for more than people expect.

6) What I Often Find Landlords Have Missed

A lot of the properties I get called out to have the same handful of issues:

• Smoke alarms that are out of date, incorrectly positioned, or not fitted at all
• No EICR on file, or one that expired years ago without anyone noticing
• Damaged switches and sockets left unrepaired between tenancies
• Extractor fans that have stopped working, often in bathrooms with no other ventilation

None of these are expensive to put right if they're caught early. Left alone, they turn into a failed EICR, or worse, an insurance problem if something goes wrong and the paperwork isn't there to back you up.

7) Pricing

Every quote is written and given before work starts, so there are no surprises. EICR pricing depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits, and larger properties or HMOs with more distribution boards will cost more to test thoroughly. If a job needs extra cabling or additional work to bring something up to standard, I'll walk you through exactly why before I book it in, the same way I would explain a rewire cost to any customer.

8) Get In Touch

If you need an EICR, alarm testing, or ongoing electrical maintenance for a rental property in Brighton & Hove, give me a call. I'll talk you through what's needed, get you a written estimate, and, if it's urgent ahead of a tenancy start date, I'll do my best to get you booked in quickly.
