Electricians in Coventry: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home, you’re responsible for electrical repairs and upgrades. Some jobs (like installing new circuits) must meet Part P of Building Regulations. A certified electrician will issue paperwork – keep this safe for when you sell your property.

Renters

If you rent in Coventry, your landlord must keep the electrics safe and provide an EICR every 5 years. Report any faults immediately. Don’t attempt DIY fixes – only qualified electricians should handle wiring, fuse boxes, or installations.

Emergency electricians in Coventry

Electrical problems don’t always wait. Call an emergency electrician in Coventry if you notice:

• A fuse box that keeps tripping
• Sparks or burning smells near sockets
• Exposed or damaged wiring
• Flickering lights across your home
• Electric shocks from appliances

Use Checkatrade to search for emergency electricians in Coventry available for urgent call-outs.
