EICRs and landlord compliance made simple
CAG Electrical Ltd helps landlords and letting agents stay compliant with straightforward EICRs and remedial works across Cardiff & Newport and all CF and NP postcodes. We explain reports in plain English, prioritise safety‑critical issues, and complete all testing and certification to BS 7671 (18th Edition). Reports are typically issued within 24–48 hours (often sooner, subject to access and complexity). No scare tactics, no upselling — just reliable follow‑up and the paperwork you need, on time.
Single properties or portfolios — one contractor from inspection to sign-off.
NICEIC Approved Contractor — tested and certified to current standards.
Wales landlord compliance: Landlords in Wales have legal duties to ensure electrical installations in rented properties are safe and fit for habitation. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a widely used way to demonstrate compliance and keep clear records. We’ll confirm what applies to your property and provide the documentation you need.
Remedial works after an EICR (follow-on support)
If an EICR highlights issues that need attention, remedial work is simply the next step to bring the installation back to a safe, compliant standard where required. We keep this process straightforward and compliance-led — with clear explanations and no pressure.
- Safety first: We prioritise C1 and C2 items first, then advise on any FI observations in a practical way.
- Clear explanations: We explain what the codes mean, what’s required, and what’s recommended — so you can make informed decisions.
- You’re not obliged: There’s no requirement to use us for remedials, but if you want one contractor from inspection through to sign-off, we can handle everything.
- Quoted clearly once issues are identified: After the inspection, we provide a clear quote for any remedial works needed.
- Documentation on completion: Any remedial work we complete is tested and certified as required.
If the report identifies C1 or C2 items, we can quote and schedule remedial work to help address them within a reasonable timeframe and keep your compliance paperwork up to date.
Same electrician, same standards, proper certification on completion.

Typical questions (FAQ)
How quickly will we receive the EICR?
Reports are typically issued within 24–48 hours of the inspection (often sooner, subject to access and complexity).
Do you handle remedial work after an EICR?
Yes. If the report identifies issues (for example C1, C2, or FI items), we can quote and complete remedial works to bring the installation up to standard.
Are there any limitations to an EICR?
Any limitations in access or scope (for example concealed wiring that isn’t accessible at the time of inspection) will be clearly noted in your report where applicable.
EICRs cover the fixed electrical installation and do not include portable appliances unless specifically requested.
Do you carry out EICRs for HMOs?
Yes. We carry out EICRs for HMOs and multi-let properties. For a full and proper EICR, we typically require access to communal areas and individual rooms.
If you specifically request a communal-areas-only inspection, we can sometimes accommodate this, but it will be clearly noted as a limitation on the report.
Will you explain the results?
Yes — we explain the outcome in plain English and outline the next steps clearly.
Do you cover my area?
Yes. We cover Cardiff & Newport and all CF and NP postcodes.
Can you work with letting agents and tenant access?
Yes. We’ll confirm access arrangements in advance and keep communication clear so inspections run smoothly.
