Electricians in Derby: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners are responsible for arranging and paying for all electrical work in their property. If it’s notifiable work, make sure your electrician can self-certify it.

Renters should contact their landlord or letting agent for anything electrical. By law, landlords must ensure the electrics are safe and provide an EICR every five years.
