Orange Fox Electrical Landlords Services

The Electrical Equipment (Safety) Regulations requires that you make sure any appliances in your property are safe and take reasonable steps to ensure on-going safety. Orange Fox works in partnership with landlords across Norfolk to make sure that the electrical installation in their property is maintained in a safe condition throughout tenancy.

The electrical installation of a property can be tested through an Electrical Installation Condition Report. Once we have carried out the test we will issue you with a report and an estimate for any works identified (if necessary). It is important to ensure that work is carried out on the property to rectify any safety issues before a tenant moves in.  We also carry out electrical testing on Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMO) to ensure they meet the electrical and fire and emergency lighting regulations.

Orange Fox Electrical landlords services also offer Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) on electrical items within your rental property to ensure compliance.

We are happy to contact and liaise with you or with the tenant directly.

We will happily work from plans to advise on everything from lighting designs to socket layouts.  Whilst the electrical work is being carried out, it is worth considering any future plans you may have; additional outside lighting or security may mean that you need additional electrical installation work and some of this could be done while build is taking place. It is much easier to lay cables underground whilst builders are on site, than to have to dig up a brickweave drive for example.

Already in your home? Then Orange Fox Electrical landlords services fully trained electricians can also provide you with additional sockets, external power and lighting, mains powered interlinked fire and carbon monoxide alarms (recommended over battery powered alarms), telephone points and electric showers to name but a few of the services we offer.

If you can’t see the wiring behind the wall or in the ceiling, how can you know it is safe? We also carry out electrical installation condition reports and we strongly recommend that the electrics in your home are tested periodically to ensure the safety of you and your family.

Whatever your home needs, or just for expert advice, contact our team.

We can offer a full electrical design service and from years of experience we offer practical advice on the installation leading to potential cost savings.

· Does your property contain an adequate number of appropriately sited electrical sockets and appropriate lighting?

· Has the electrical installation been properly installed, maintained and checked (including earthed)?

· Is there paperwork to back this up?  It is recommended that the fixed wiring in a domestic installation should be inspected and tested at least every 10 years (unless otherwise stated on your test sheet).

· Have RCD’s (Residual Current Devices) been installed to provide additional protection against electric shocks?

· Do you have smoke detectors/alarms installed and correctly sited? Are they properly maintained and regularly tested

The best way to know that your property is safe and compliant with the law is to have a qualified engineer carry out appropriate tests for your peace of mind.
