EICRs & Landlord Certificates in Ashford
Ashford EICRs are usually a different conversation from the Medway towns, because so much of the housing is new. On the Park Farm, Singleton and Repton Park estates the installation is generally compliant and the report is a formality — the findings that do come up tend to be DIY additions: an extra socket spurred off a loaded ring, a garden supply run in the wrong cable, a bathroom fitting in the wrong zone. The older half of town around Kennington, Willesborough and South Ashford is where genuine remedials appear. We test both the same way and tell you which category you're in.

We quote clearly for any remedials and can carry them out, then re-issue as satisfactory.
“Called Gary at 4am he was at my house for 5am and stopped the leak from doing any further damage and arranged for the repair to be carried out by a plumber. Had him back a few weeks later to find the problem with a socket in my garage that kept tripping. He rewired it all for me and now it works perfect.”
“I phoned him on a Saturday morning. He said could he pop round later and give us a quote. He checked everything and said the job was quite straightforward. The price was very reasonable and Gary said he could fit them there and then. Gary is very knowledgeable, he explained everything and carried out the work cleanly and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gary.”
“I had a problem with my lights, I had no lights in the house at all. Gary came over to the house and got all the electricity sorted for us in under an hour, so I have no problem recommending him and his company for any electrical issues. He was clean and tidy, good value, friendly and fast.”
“Gary has completed work for me a number of times, including fitting a new kitchen light, repairing a broken plug socket, fitting Hive, fitting alarm/security system and changing light switches to dimmer switches. He always completes work to a high standard.”
EICR Testing in Ashford — common questions
Does a new-build in Ashford still need an EICR?
If it's rented, yes — the five-yearly requirement applies regardless of age. New-builds usually pass comfortably, and the findings we do raise are almost always later additions rather than the original installation. It's still worth doing properly, because an unsatisfactory report on a modern property nearly always points at something someone added after handover.
Will DIY work in my Ashford property fail the report?
It depends what it is. Poor-quality additions commonly attract a C2 — an overloaded spur, a light fitting in the wrong bathroom zone, an unprotected garden run. Those need fixing before the report can be satisfactory. We'll show you exactly what we found and quote to put it right, and minor items can often be cleared on the same visit.
How often do landlords need an EICR?
At least every five years, or at change of tenancy if the report recommends it. Homeowners are advised to test every ten years.
What do the EICR codes mean?
C1 means danger present (immediate action), C2 means potentially dangerous (remedial needed), C3 is improvement recommended, and FI means further investigation required. Only C1 and C2 cause a fail.
