EICR testing for Ardwick landlords and homes
- 01
Landlords with several properties
If you let more than one flat or house, keeping track of EICR dates can be tricky. We can test several properties in one booking and help you plan future inspections so reports don't expire. Every report clearly shows its next test date.

Starting a new tenancy
Landlords must give a copy of the latest EICR to new tenants before they move in, and to existing tenants within 28 days of the inspection. Booking the test between tenancies in Ardwick means the property is empty and the report is ready for the next tenant.

Reading the limitations section
Every EICR lists anything that couldn't be inspected, such as wiring hidden behind fitted kitchens or areas we couldn't access. Check this section carefully. If large parts are listed as limited, ask why, as it affects how much the report really covers.
Arranging EICR testing in Ardwick
We test Ardwick properties from our Manchester base. For flats, tell us whether we'll need access to communal cupboards or meter rooms. Send us the number of properties and bedrooms, and we'll quote and suggest dates.
We test each property, record any defects with their codes and send you the reports. If repairs are needed, we quote for them, carry them out if you approve and provide the written confirmation landlords need once the work is complete.

EICR testing in Ardwick: common questions
Can you test several of my Ardwick rental flats on the same day?
Yes. If your flats are in the same building or close together, we can often test several in one visit. We plan the order around tenant access and send a separate report for each property, with its own next inspection date.
When must I give my Ardwick tenants a copy of the EICR?
Existing tenants must receive a copy within 28 days of the inspection, and new tenants before they move in. The local council can also ask for a copy, which must be provided within 7 days. Keep the report with your other tenancy documents.
Does an EICR cover the communal wiring in my Ardwick block?
Usually not. A flat's EICR covers the installation from the flat's meter or supply onwards. Communal areas, such as stairwell lighting, door entry systems and shared supplies, are normally the building owner's or management company's responsibility and need their own separate inspection.
What does 'limitation' mean on my Ardwick EICR?
It means part of the installation couldn't be fully inspected or tested, for example because furniture blocked access or wiring was hidden. Limitations should be reasonable and explained. If they cover a lot of the property, ask the electrician whether a further inspection is needed.
