If you are looking for a reliable electrician for an EICR in Edinburgh, MWJ Services provides professional Electrical Installation Condition Reports for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, care homes, offices, shops, and commercial properties throughout Edinburgh and surrounding areas. An EICR is an essential electrical safety inspection that checks the condition of your property’s electrical installation and helps identify any faults, deterioration, overloaded circuits, damaged wiring, or potential fire and electric shock risks before they become serious problems.

Regular EICR testing is important for maintaining electrical safety and ensuring your installation complies with current British safety standards. Whether you own a domestic property, manage rental accommodation, or operate a commercial premises, having your electrical systems professionally inspected can provide peace of mind and help keep occupants safe.

For landlords in Scotland, electrical safety inspections are a legal requirement for rented properties. Landlords must ensure that the electrical installation and all electrical fixtures within the property are safe at the start of a tenancy and maintained in a safe condition throughout. A valid EICR is required as part of the Scottish Government’s repairing standard and should normally be renewed every five years, or sooner if recommended within the report. Landlords are also required to ensure portable appliances supplied within the property are safe for use. At MWJ Services, we work closely with landlords and letting agents across Edinburgh to provide professional EICRs and electrical safety testing to help properties remain compliant and tenants protected.

At MWJ Services, we carry out thorough electrical inspections and testing across Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. During an EICR, our experienced electricians inspect consumer units, sockets, switches, wiring, earthing, bonding, and protective devices to assess the overall condition of the electrical installation. Once testing is complete, we provide a detailed Electrical Installation Condition Report explaining the findings and highlighting any recommendations or remedial work if required.
