EICR for Letting Agencies in Sturry, Kent

Bulk landlord EICR work for letting agencies in Sturry — framework arrangements, void-week turnarounds, certificate delivery direct to the agency, tenant access liaison built into the standard process, and remedial work quoted on the same call. Whether you’re managing five Canterbury properties or fifty, we handle the EICR compliance flow as a service rather than a series of individual jobs.

What an EICR involves for Letting Agency

For the agency, an EICR booked through us is operationally identical whether it’s one property or twenty. We work to BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 — the current UK wiring regulations — testing every circuit and inspecting every accessible accessory. Findings are coded C1, C2, C3, or FI per the standard. What changes for portfolio work is the workflow around the testing. We confirm receipt of every booking, send appointment reminders to tenants directly if the agency prefers, and deliver every certificate to a single agency inbox in the standard EICR PDF format your back-office systems already accept.

When you need this in Sturry

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 Canterbury City 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.

Why book CJA Electrical for your Sturry EICR

Agencies pick CJA for the operational fit, not the technical work — the technical work is the same as anyone else’s BS 7671 inspection. What differs: Single point of contact for portfolio bookings, consistent same-week turnaround for Sturry properties, certificate delivery in the format your back-office systems already handle, framework pricing that scales to portfolio size, and remedial work quoted alongside any unsatisfactory report so the landlord can decide quickly. Fully insured (£1m PL), City & Guilds 2391 qualified inspector, ten years on Canterbury domestic property.

How the inspection runs

The standard agency workflow: Property details across (address, circuit count, tenant or key access). Quote confirms timing and price for each property in the batch. Visits scheduled around tenant availability. Inspection on the day. Report PDF delivered within 48 hours per property. Remedial quote attached where needed. Where an agency wants to handle tenant comms directly we step back and coordinate via you. Where you’d rather we handle them, we’ll do that instead.

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

Do you offer framework pricing for letting agencies in Sturry?

Yes. We agree base prices per property type at the start of the relationship and apply them across the portfolio. Routine bookings run at framework rates with no per-job back-and-forth. Outliers — very large properties, multi-consumer-unit installs — are flagged and quoted individually. Single invoice per batch, agency-direct.

How quickly can you turn an EICR round during a void week in Sturry?

Same-week is the default. Where a void-week inspection has to fit between move-out and move-in, we can usually inspect within a couple of working days of the booking and have the report PDF in your inbox within 48 hours of the visit. Remedial work, where needed, can sometimes happen on the same visit if the scope is small.

Can you deal directly with tenants for access?

Yes — most agencies prefer this for routine inspections. Once you forward the tenant contact details, we confirm a slot directly with the tenant by phone or SMS, send a reminder the day before, and turn up at the agreed time. The agent stays in the loop on the booking and the report but doesn’t need to chase tenant access.

What format do you supply the certificate in?

Standard industry EICR PDF — the form itself with the observation codes, the schedule of inspection, and the schedule of test results per circuit. Single document, delivered to your agency compliance inbox by default. The format is universally accepted by Canterbury City Council, the Private Rented Sector Database, and standard property-management back-office systems.

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 Sturry properties in a single day is meaningfully cheaper than four separate trips, and the framework pricing reflects that.
