A Leeds-based team delivering 5-yearly EICR programmes, evidence-quality certificates, and 24/7 emergency electrical cover across social housing stock — built for asset managers who need defensible paperwork on every property file.
Asset managers we speak to know about damp and mould. The electrical timescale change has had less airtime. The framework now extends to electrical safety: EICRs every five years across social housing stock, defensible evidence on every property file, and significant penalties under Awaab's Law where the obligation isn't met. The ask isn't another inspection round — it's a programme that produces certificates an insurer, an auditor or a tribunal bundle will accept first time. That is what this page is about: how a NICEIC-approved contractor sets up that programme across your stock, schedules it around tenant access, and hands you the paperwork in a format that survives a challenge.
The pattern across the asset managers, compliance leads and property services managers we speak to is the same. Historical EICRs exist on file but the engineer's signature on page one is missing or the remedial schedule is patchy. Tenant access is uneven, so the property log shows the inspection booked but not completed. The previous contractor closed C2 codes without re-issuing the certificate. None of that is a deliberate failure — it is what happens when stock-level compliance is treated as a string of one-off jobs instead of a programme. The risk lands when an incident triggers a request for the full electrical file and the gaps surface in front of a regulator.
A Leeds-based team handles the survey, the scheduling, the safeguarding-cleared engineers, the certificates and the remediation in one workflow. Scope starts with a portfolio review: total unit count, current EICR cycle position, communal areas, fire alarm interfaces and EV charging points at communal car parks. From there, we set the 5-year cadence, batch properties by postcode to keep travel and disruption low, and route every certificate into a single evidence pack per property. Engineers carry the 5-Point Clean Home Protocol on every visit — shoe covers, dust sheets, vacuum-extraction drilling — because the tenant's home is not a building site. NICEIC-approved, Part P compliant, certified and tested.
Every certificate is issued under our NICEIC scheme registration and signed on page one by the testing engineer. The pack contains the EICR with all observations coded (C1, C2, C3, FI) and time-bound remedial schedule, the schedule of inspections and tests, the schedule of items inspected, photographs of any C1 or C2 finding, the remedial works quotation, and — once remediation completes — the Minor Works or Electrical Installation Certificate that closes the loop. That is what an insurer reads. That is what a regulator asks to see. The format is the same on every property so the file is searchable across the portfolio rather than a folder of inconsistent PDFs.
EICR pricing starts at £150 plus VAT for properties up to six final circuits, plus £20 per additional circuit. Communal-area testing and emergency lighting are quoted on survey. Portfolio agreements are framed around the No Surprises Pricing Guarantee: the price doesn't change unless the scope changes. For housing associations with a regular cadence, we'll fix per-unit rates for the cycle so finance can plan the programme rather than chase change orders. Free, no-obligation quote on the whole portfolio after the initial review.
Compliance programmes don't replace emergency callouts. When a distribution board trips in a block at 11pm, a tenant's heating fails on a Sunday, or a communal car park charger throws a fault, the same Leeds-based team is on the rota. Available 24/7 with a genuine on-call engineer — not an answering service. The same engineers your tenants see during planned visits cover the out-of-hours line, which keeps the audit trail consistent and avoids the "who attended" gap that often appears in retrospective reviews.
The strongest argument for consolidating the electrical compliance contract is the evidence trail. One scheme registration on every certificate. One format on every property file. One escalation route when a finding needs remediation. Dual NICEIC + Which? accreditation is rare among local contractors — most hold one, not both. Independent verification on both sides of the work means the certificate stands up to scrutiny from the insurer, the auditor and the regulator without you having to defend it. Leeds-based team, full-stack capability across communal areas, EV points, fire-alarm interfaces and individual unit testing.
The framework extends electrical-safety timescales to social housing, with checks expected every five years across stock and significant penalties under Awaab's Law where the obligation isn't met. The practical change is the move from reactive inspection to a documented 5-year programme with defensible evidence on every property file. We design the programme around your existing cycle and back-fill any gaps in current records.
Our service area covers Leeds, West Yorkshire, Harrogate and Wakefield — postcodes LS1–LS29, WF1–WF17 and HG1–HG5. Most housing-association portfolios in those postcodes can be handled by the same Leeds-based team. For stock outside that radius we'll be transparent about whether we're the right contractor or whether a sub-contracted partner would be a stronger fit.
Engineers are NICEIC-approved and Part P compliant, and follow the 5-Point Clean Home Protocol on every visit — shoe covers, dust sheets, vacuum-extraction drilling, doors closed, vacuum-and-wipe on exit. Our engineers work to safeguarding-aware practice on occupied housing, and we'll discuss any specific resident vulnerability framework you require before scheduling. Access is coordinated through your tenant liaison or directly with residents on your preferred channel.
An EICR is the inspection. An evidence-quality EICR is the inspection plus the full pack: signed page one, observation codes, time-bound remedial schedule, photographs of C1 and C2 findings, and the closing certificate once remediation completes. That is the pack an insurer or regulator will accept first time. We issue every certificate in that format as standard, not on request.
EV charging at communal car parks is in scope and handled by the same team. Survey covers existing supply capacity, load balancing across the array, and which OZEV grant route applies — the residential landlord grant is open until 31 March 2027 at £500 per socket. We'll set out which sockets qualify, which need standard quoting, and how the install integrates with your existing PPM cycle.
