Aylesford Letting Agency EICR

For letting agencies covering Aylesford, the EICR question is rarely about a single property — it’s about keeping a portfolio compliant, certificates refreshed before they expire, and Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council requests answered in the seven-day window the regulations require. CJA Electrical works at portfolio scale: one point of contact, consistent format, batch booking around your void schedule.

What an EICR involves for Letting Agency

A landlord EICR done for an agency is the same standard test as one done for a private landlord — BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 inspection and circuit-level testing, with C1/C2/C3/FI observation codes against any findings. The point of running it through an agency framework is the operational consistency: same format, same turnaround, same delivery method, regardless of which property in the portfolio is being tested.

When you need this in Aylesford

Most agency EICR bookings hit one of these patterns: Routine renewals where the previous certificate is six to eight weeks from expiring. Void-week inspections sandwiched between tenancies. New-management audits where a property has just come onto the books and the certificate history is incomplete. Council requests where Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council has written asking for evidence and the agent has seven days to respond. Tenant-flagged safety issues that warrant a fresh inspection. All of these run through the same framework — booking, tenant liaison, inspection, report, optional remedials — at portfolio pace.

What the report contains

Every EICR comes back as a single-PDF deliverable: the EICR form with inspector qualifications, property address, observation codes, and overall pass-or-fail; the schedule of inspection; and the schedule of test results per circuit. Standard format, agency-inbox delivery. For unsatisfactory reports, we attach a quote for the remedial work alongside the report — landlord can accept, decline, or seek a second quote without the agent having to chase. Re-test on completion is included once the work is booked back in.

How the inspection runs

What it looks like in practice: A property list arrives by email or WhatsApp. We come back with a quote covering the batch, with appointment slots that fit your void schedule. Tenant access goes through whichever route the agency prefers — often the tenant directly via SMS confirmation. We inspect, test, and email the PDF inside 48 hours. Where remedials are needed, the quote sits with the report. The whole batch typically completes inside a fortnight, including any remedials.

What affects the price

We’ll agree framework pricing per property type at the start of the relationship. Routine bookings then run at framework rates without separate quoting per job. Outliers — larger properties, period stock with extensive rewires, anything atypical — are flagged at booking and quoted individually. Invoice per batch, agency-direct, standard terms.

FAQs

Can you handle remedial works as well as the inspection?

Yes. Where the EICR comes back unsatisfactory, we attach a remedial quote alongside the report so the landlord has one document to consider. On acceptance, we book the works in, complete them, re-test the affected circuits, and issue a fresh satisfactory report. The whole inspection-to-clean-certificate cycle typically fits inside a fortnight.

Do you charge per property or per portfolio visit?

Per property. Each property’s testing is documented separately and gets its own certificate, even when several are visited on the same day. We do batch the bookings to keep travel costs down — visiting four Aylesford properties in a single day is meaningfully cheaper than four separate trips, and the framework pricing reflects that.

Can you cover Aylesford and the surrounding Maidstone towns?

Yes. Our service area covers Medway, Maidstone, Gravesham, Swale, and the rest of north and west Kent. Aylesford is reached from our Rochester base in around 25 minutes. We typically batch portfolio inspections across Maidstone, Larkfield, Kings Hill on the same booking sweep where the diary allows.

Do you carry the right insurance for agency framework work?

Yes — £1m public and product liability, plus £100k professional indemnity. Certificate of insurance available on request for inclusion in your supplier files. The cover applies across all routine domestic EICR work, including remedial work commissioned through the framework.

What happens if a tenant blocks access on the agreed day?

We work the booking around the tenant’s schedule wherever possible and confirm the day before to minimise no-shows. If access does fall through on the day, we don’t charge an abortive call-out for the first instance, and the booking gets rescheduled. Persistent access issues across a portfolio are something we’d flag back to you for involvement.

Can you flag certificates approaching expiry across our portfolio?

We can supply a renewal-due-date list with each certificate so your back-office systems can put the renewal date into the property record. We don’t operate a separate reminder service — that part sits more naturally inside your property management software — but we’ll work to whatever renewal cadence the agency wants.
