April 1st 2026, marked five years since the introduction of the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations.
The scale of EICRs done five years ago meant the demand for EICRs would surge again in 2026.
With fewer electricians in the market than five years ago, many landlords and property managers faced a real compliance challenge.
A Market Under Pressure
Across the industry, the same issues emerged:
- Delays in completing inspections
- Cancelled appointments
- Rising costs driven by demand
A Different Approach
While the pressure has been widespread, our experience has been different.
We’re proud that our electrical team, led by Lauren Vazquez, has maintained a 99% EICR delivery rate for our clients and customers.
That level of consistency doesn’t happen by chance, we didn’t wait for the surge to hit.
Planning started 18 months in advance.
We:
- Expanded our direct labour force
- Scaled our operations team
- Built the infrastructure needed to handle increased demand
- Delivering When It Matters
Fast forward to today, and that preparation has paid off.
Despite market-wide challenges, we’ve been able to provide our partners with:
- A reliable and consistent service
- No unnecessary delays or price spikes
- Continued support during peak demand
Most importantly, we’ve helped ensure properties remain compliant — without the disruption many have experienced elsewhere.
Team Effort
Behind these results is a team that has delivered day in, day out.
From engineers on the ground to the operational support behind the scenes, this has been a collective effort — and one we’re incredibly proud of.
Looking Ahead
The demand for EICRs isn’t slowing down. If you’re still facing delays or looking for a more reliable way to manage compliance across your portfolio, we’re here to help.
