RCD and loop impedance testing in progress on a domestic circuit

For letting agencies covering Tunbridge Wells, the EICR question is rarely about a single property — it’s about keeping a portfolio compliant, certificates refreshed before they expire, and Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells

Agency-side EICR demand peaks around three things: the routine five-yearly cycle (which the agent often coordinates without much landlord involvement), the void week between tenancies, and Tunbridge Wells Borough Council compliance audits when they happen. We’ll cope with all three on the same framework — same booking process, same delivery method, same format — and accommodate the fast-turnaround end of the work whenever the diary allows.

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 Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells 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 Tunbridge Wells domestic property.

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 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.

Do you offer framework pricing for letting agencies in Tunbridge Wells?

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 Tunbridge Wells?

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 Tunbridge Wells Borough 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.
