EICRs and electrical testing in Plymouth, certificate within 24 hours
We cover Plymouth and West Devon from St Austell. Plymouth is under an hour away. You get the same promise as our Cornish clients: your report within 24 hours of the inspection, and any remedial work quoted within 24 hours.
Who we test for in Plymouth
Plymouth has a large private rented sector, from student houses around Mutley and Greenbank to family lets in Plympton and Plymstock. The landlord EICR rules are the same here as anywhere in England: an inspection at least every five years, a copy to your tenants within 28 days, and any remedial work done within 28 days.
- Landlords and HMO owners: HMOs get closer attention from councils, so a clear report with coded findings matters.
- Letting agents: one contractor who can cover your Plymouth and Cornwall properties alike.
- Shops, offices and workshops: testing planned around your opening hours, with PAT testing in the same visit if you need it.
- Home sellers: a report timed to suit your exchange date.
What we often find in Plymouth properties
The city's housing ranges from Victorian terraces in Stoke and Stonehouse to post-war homes and newer flats. Older properties often show their age at the consumer unit and in missing earthing and bonding. Converted flats can have circuits that are hard to trace. We record each finding clearly, with its code, so you know what's urgent and what's advice.

Do Plymouth rentals need an EICR?
Yes. The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 apply across England, so Plymouth lets need an EICR at least every five years.
Is the 24-hour turnaround the same in Plymouth?
Yes. You get the report within 24 hours of the inspection, and a remedial quote within 24 hours if anything needs fixing.
Can you do the remedial work too?
Yes. The person who tested the property carries out the work and confirms it in writing, which is what landlords need for the 28-day deadline.
