Landlord EICR
in Lincoln
Since 2020, landlords in England must have a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for every rented property — renewed at least every five years. ABK Electrical provides fast, fully certified landlord EICRs across Lincoln so you stay compliant and your tenants stay safe.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, you must have a qualified person inspect and test the electrics at least every five years, give tenants a copy of the report within 28 days, and complete any required remedial work within 28 days. We make the whole process simple — inspection, report and any follow-up work from one electrician.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a landlord EICR a legal requirement?
Yes. Since 1 June 2020 (and for all existing tenancies from 1 April 2021), landlords in England must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years by a qualified person and provide tenants with a copy of the report.
How often do I need one?
At least every five years, or sooner if the report recommends a shorter interval. A new report is also needed at the start of a new tenancy if the existing one is more than five years old.
What is the penalty for not having one?
Local authorities can issue financial penalties of up to £30,000 for non-compliance, and may arrange remedial work themselves and recover the cost. Keeping a valid EICR avoids all of this.
What if the report is unsatisfactory?
If C1 or C2 issues are found, remedial work must be carried out within 28 days (or sooner if specified). We provide a clear quote and can complete the work, then issue written confirmation that the installation now meets the required standard.
How quickly will I get the report?
We turn reports around promptly so you can meet the requirement to supply tenants within 28 days of the inspection, and the local authority within 7 days if requested.
