LB ElectricalsLandlord electrical services in Doncaster & Sheffield
Rental compliance is mostly a paperwork problem: the right inspections at the right intervals, faults fixed on time, certificates on file when the council or your insurer asks. It gets much easier with one electrician who handles all of it and understands that you're managing deadlines, not just properties.
We look after rental properties for landlords and letting agents across Doncaster, Sheffield and South Yorkshire — single houses, portfolios, HMOs and student lets. One phone number, one email thread per property, paperwork sent straight to whoever needs it on file.
What's included
Everything a rented property's electrics need, from one contact:
- EICRs — required at least every five years or at a change of tenancy in England; you receive the EICR report for your file
- Remedial works — C1s and C2s fixed from our reports or anyone else's, with written confirmation
- Smoke and heat alarms — supplied, fitted and tested
- Certificates and paperwork emailed direct to you or your agent
- Repairs and upgrades between tenancies: sockets, lighting, consumer units
Our process
Built for people managing more than one property:
- Send the list — one property or twenty, with renewal dates if you have them.
- Access sorted — we arrange visits with your tenants or through your agent, whichever you prefer.
- Inspect and test — and where remedials are needed, the quote arrives with the report, not weeks later.
- The work — grouped to minimise visits and tenant disruption.
- Paperwork — reports and confirmations emailed to whoever holds the file, named per property so nothing gets lost.
How pricing works
Landlord work is priced to be predictable:
- EICRs priced per property — mainly the number of circuits and the property size
- Remedials itemised per observation, so approval is quick and the invoice is auditable
- Multiple properties booked together keep costs down — one trip, several inspections
- Alarm installation priced by the number and type of alarms
- Quotes are free, and so is asking whether something needs doing at all
For letting agents
Agents need three things from a contractor: answers, dates and documents. We reply so you can update the landlord, we agree dates tenants get proper notice of, and the paperwork arrives named and complete so it drops straight into your file.
If you manage properties across Doncaster, Sheffield or Rotherham and want an electrician you can hand the whole electrical side to — inspections, remedials, alarms, repairs between tenancies — call Lewis on 07467 381272. One trial property is a fine way to start.
Frequently asked questions
How often does a rental need an EICR?
At least every five years in England, or at a change of tenancy. If the last report is missing, treat it as due. Send us the addresses and renewal dates and we'll work through them — we cover rentals across Doncaster, Sheffield and Barnsley.
Do you handle tenant access?
Yes — tell us how you'd like it to work. We can contact tenants directly to arrange visits, or work through you or your agent. Either way, tenants get proper notice and we keep the appointment we make.
What are the smoke alarm rules for rentals?
In England, a rented home needs a smoke alarm on every storey used as living accommodation, and a carbon monoxide alarm in any room with a fixed combustion appliance — boilers count, gas cookers don't. We supply, fit and test alarms during other visits or as a standalone job.
Do you cover HMOs and student lets?
Yes — including the student lets around Sheffield. Councils tend to ask HMO licence holders for electrical paperwork routinely, so a complete, current file matters even more there.
Can you fix what the EICR finds?
Yes — the remedial quote arrives with the report, itemised per observation, and for English rentals the C1 and C2 work is normally required within 28 days, so we plan the visits around that deadline.
