Electricians in Norwich: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners

If you own your home, you’re responsible for all electrical work. Some jobs, such as new circuits, must meet Part P of Building Regulations and be certified by a qualified electrician. Keep any certificates safe – you’ll need them if you sell your property.

Renters

If you rent, your landlord is usually responsible for electrical safety and maintenance. Report any issues straight away. Landlords must provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) every 5 years. Only attempt very minor tasks (like changing light bulbs) yourself – anything else should be reported.

Emergency electricians in Norwich

Sometimes electrical problems can’t wait. Common emergencies include:

• Power cuts affecting just your home
• Burning smells or scorch marks around sockets
• Tripping fuse boxes
• Exposed wires or sparking plugs
• Electric shocks from appliances
