EICRs & Landlord Certificates in Gillingham
Gillingham has one of the densest concentrations of shared and converted housing in Medway, and that shapes what an EICR here involves. Houses split into flats or run as HMOs frequently end up with circuits that cross between units, borrowed neutrals, and landlord supplies to communal areas that nobody has ever formally accounted for. Establishing what actually feeds what is often half the job. HMO licences also generally require emergency lighting to be tested and certified alongside the EICR, which we can do on the same visit.

Fix any issues
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 Gillingham — common questions
What does an HMO in Gillingham need electrically?
A satisfactory EICR on the installation, emergency lighting installed and tested where the licence requires it, and a maintained fire detection system. The landlord supply to communal areas needs covering too. We can carry out the EICR and emergency lighting testing together so the whole licensing file is dealt with in one visit.
My Gillingham conversion has circuits crossing between flats — is that a fail?
It very often is. Circuits crossing between separately let units usually attract a C2, because a tenant in one flat can't safely isolate a circuit that serves another. It's extremely common in older Gillingham conversions. We identify what feeds what during the inspection and quote to separate and re-scope the boards properly.
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.
