Electricians in Swindon: Renters vs homeowners

Homeowners are usually responsible for hiring and paying for electricians for maintenance, upgrades or safety checks. If the work is notifiable under Building Regulations, make sure your electrician can self-certify or provide the relevant documentation.

Renters should report electrical issues to their landlord or letting agent, who is legally responsible for ensuring the property meets electrical safety standards. Landlords must carry out an EICR at least every 5 years and resolve any Category 1 or 2 issues.
