North Thornaby is one of the areas where Stockton Council runs selective licensing, so landlords letting there need a licence as well as the usual safety paperwork. We test rented houses across Thornaby every month, from the older streets around the Village and Thornaby Green to the family houses on the Mandale side. An EICR is the report that proves the fixed wiring in a let property is safe, and it is the one most letting agents ask for first.
We test the whole installation, code every finding by how serious it is and hand the report over the same day, so you can send it straight to your agent or the council. Any remedial work is quoted at a fixed price, and we can carry it out and certify it ourselves. As a NAPIT approved electrician we work to the current wiring regulations. Most EICRs around Thornaby land between £150 and £300 for a typical home, and multi-property rates are agreed up front.
Built for licensing
A clear, properly coded report you can hand to the council or a letting agent without being sent back for more detail.
Several properties, one price
If you let more than one house in Thornaby we agree a rate for the lot before we start, so the cost is settled from the outset.
Remedials done and certified
Anything that fails, we can put right and certify, so you are not chasing a second trade to close the report out.
Your questions, answered
How often does a rented house in Thornaby need an EICR?
At least every five years, and again at a change of tenancy if the last report is out of date. We keep a note of when yours is due and can remind you before it runs out.
Do I need anything extra for the selective licensing area?
The licence itself is a council matter, but they will expect the electrics to be safe and documented. A satisfactory EICR is the evidence that covers it, so it is worth having in hand before you apply.
Can you test between tenancies at short notice?
Yes. An empty house is the easiest kind to test, and we can usually fit a void property in quickly so the changeover is not held up.
