Electricians in Ipswich: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners are responsible for organising and funding electrical work, including upgrades and inspections. If the job is notifiable, your electrician must provide the correct certification or notify Building Control.

Renters should report any electrical issues to their landlord or letting agent. It’s the landlord’s legal duty to maintain safe electrics and provide an EICR every five years. Unsure who’s responsible? Check your tenancy agreement or contact your local council.
