EICRs & Landlord Certificates in Maidstone
Maidstone is our busiest area for landlord EICRs, and the town-centre flat conversions are where most of them come from. Splitting a Victorian or Edwardian house into flats often leaves circuits crossing between units, borrowed neutrals, and a board that was never re-scoped for the new layout — all of which show up properly only under test. Add the volume of rented family housing around Shepway, Tovil and Allington and there's a steady five-yearly cycle of work here. We inspect, code every finding plainly, and give you a priced remedial schedule rather than a vague 'needs work'.

How it works
Book a visit
Tell us the property size and age and we'll schedule the inspection at a time that suits.
Inspect & test
We test circuits, check the board and accessories, and record readings against the regulations.
Report & certify
You get a coded report and, where satisfactory, your certificate — usually same or next day.
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 Maidstone — common questions
Do converted flats in Maidstone need one EICR or one per flat?
Each self-contained flat needs its own EICR covering the installation serving it, and any landlord-controlled supply to communal areas needs covering too. In older Maidstone conversions the boundaries between flats are often not as clean as the deeds suggest, so we establish what feeds what before testing — that's frequently where the real problems turn up.
Can you turn a Maidstone EICR around before a tenancy starts?
Usually, yes. We're about 25 minutes away and can normally get the certificate to you the same or next day after the inspection. Tell us the tenancy date when you book on 07825 333341 — if remedials are likely we'd rather build the time in than have you find out late.
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.
