EICRs in Watford
We carry out landlord EICRs, PAT testing and electrical remedial work across Watford, from the Victorian terraces near the town centre and Watford Junction to the interwar estates to the north. More than a quarter of Watford households now rent privately, and each of those homes needs a new report at least every five years.

Private renting has grown fast
At the 2021 census, 28.2% of Watford households rented privately, up from 20.1% in 2011, while the borough’s population grew from 90,301 to 102,246. That is thousands more rented homes, each needing a landlord EICR every five years and a copy for each new tenant before they move in.
A Victorian railway town
The London and Birmingham Railway reached Watford in 1837, and the town grew around it: from about 6,500 people in the early 1860s to 17,063 by 1891. Many of the terraces from that growth are now let, often converted into flats. The 1920s brought council estates such as Harebreaks. Where a house has been split into flats, each flat is its own installation with its own report, and the landlord’s supply to the communal hall and lighting needs inspecting too.

Yes. Each let flat has its own installation and needs its own report. The landlord’s supply to shared areas should be inspected as well.
