At Abacus Electrical Nottingham, we provide compliant, efficient, and responsive electrical solutions for private landlords, letting agents, and property management companies across the city and county. Whether you manage a single buy-to-let property or a large HMO portfolio, our team of skilled experts specializes in keeping your investments safe and legally compliant.
We understand that as a landlord, you have strict legal obligations regarding electrical safety. We offer a complete range of services tailored to meet the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (ESSPRS) Regulations.
Legal Compliance and Certification
Ensuring your property meets current legislative standards is our priority. We handle all necessary inspections to protect you from liability.
EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports): Mandatory 5-year inspections to verify the safety of existing wiring.
PAT Testing: Testing of portable appliances (kettles, washing machines, etc.) provided in furnished rentals.
HMO Compliance: Specialized upgrades and testing for Houses in Multiple Occupation to meet council licensing requirements.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms: Installation and testing of interlinked fire detection systems to BS 5839-6 standards.
Void Periods and Remedial Works
The best time to upgrade a property is between tenancies. We help you prepare your property for new occupants quickly.
C1 and C2 Remedial Works: Fast rectification of faults found during an EICR inspection.
Consumer Unit Upgrades: Replacing outdated fuse boxes with modern RCD/RCBO boards to protect incoming tenants.
Lighting Upgrades: switching to LED lighting to reduce long-term maintenance calls and lower energy bills for tenants.
Reactive Maintenance and Repairs
When a tenant reports a fault, you need a fast response. We provide reliable troubleshooting for:
Electric Showers: Replacement and repair of faulty shower units (a common failure point in rentals).
Heating Systems: Repairing storage heaters, electric radiators, and immersion heaters.
Extraction Fans: Replacing bathroom and kitchen fans to prevent mould and damp buildup.
Property Management Support
Direct Tenant Liaison: We can arrange access directly with your tenants, saving you time and administrative hassle.
Key Collection: We are happy to collect keys from agents or use lockboxes for void properties.
