EICR Safety Check ⚡ | Joydens Wood, Bexley
Carried out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for a landlord ahead of a new tenancy—and found this serious issue! A double socket was left hanging off the wall, still live, with the back completely open and exposing dangerous live parts. This posed a major shock and fire risk. We immediately replaced the back box, secured the socket safely to the wall, and ensured it was fully compliant. The landlord will now arrange for the wall to be repaired by a decorator.
This highlights why EICRs are essential for rental properties. Electrical safety is a legal requirement for landlords, and regular checks help prevent accidents before they happen. If you’re a landlord or homeowner in need of an inspection, get in touch today!
