Landlords & Duty-Holders
Understanding the compliance stage after an EICR — including follow-up processes, remedial timeframes and ongoing visibility of outcomes.
TESC supports post-inspection compliance processes. Responsibility for meeting legal obligations remains with the landlord or duty-holder.
After an EICR — what happens next?
An electrical inspection identifies observations and produces an outcome. Where remedial works are required, a follow-up period begins. TESC provides structure and visibility during that stage.
The compliance follow-up stage is where remedial works, time windows and documented completion are monitored.
Your role as a duty-holder
Duty-holders remain responsible for ensuring electrical safety obligations are met. TESC supports visibility and follow-up throughout the compliance period.
Understand the outcome
- Review the EICR and observations carefully
- Clarify any points with your contractor
- Identify whether remedial work is required
Act within required timeframes
- Remedial works may need completion within defined periods (commonly 28 days)
- Keep records of communications and completed works
- Ensure evidence is provided where required
Maintain compliance visibility
- Track progression from observations to completion
- Confirm outcomes once works are finished
- Retain documentation for future reference
Important: TESC supports monitoring and follow-up processes only. TESC does not provide electrical contracting services or legal advice.
