Landlords
Supporting Landlords
The number of UK households living in rented property has doubled in the last ten years, with increasing house prices and slow wage growth making it harder for people to get on the housing ladder. Approximately 5 million households are currently living in private rented accommodation, which equates to 21% of the total, with this number expected to rise to 5.8 million in the next five years, according to estate agency Knight Frank.
Many homeowners have also become so-called “accidental landlords” – forced to rent out their existing property to cover mortgage repayments so that they can afford to make their next move. Whether you’re a seasoned landlord or new to property rentals, it’s important to have access to a reliable electrician who can carry out the necessary checks before you purchase a new property or make an existing property available for rental.
Peace of Mind
You can never be sure when an electrical fault or breakdown is going to occur. That’s why we’re often approached in the initial stages to do a free visual check of a property and highlight any problems that may be evident. As many prospective landlords discover, some homes may not be as good an investment as they initially seem. Our free visual check can therefore be key to them making the right decision.
Another popular and often essential service for landlords is our 12-month protection plan. Designed to give both landlords and tenants peace of mind, we will make regular visits to a property to inspect and highlight any immediate or possible problems, saving all parties the inconvenience, hassle and stress that can occur with electrical faults and breakdowns. These are just a couple of the services that Mr. Electric provides to landlords. Others include:
- General electrical installation, maintenance and repair
- Periodic inspection and testing
- Emergency callout
- Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
- Portable Appliance Testing (PAT)
- Smoke, fire and intruder alarms
- Rewiring and extra points
- Electric heaters and showers
- Indoor and outdoor heating
- Internal and external lighting solutions
Our electricians are highly trained and available 24/7 to attend to any electrical emergency. All work will be carried out with minimal disruption to your property, and our fixed prices mean you’ll always be in control of the cost.
The Latest Regulations
Prospective and current landlords need to consider and understand Part P of the Building Regulations for England and Wales – or the Building Standards in Scotland – which is intended to increase the safety of households by improving the design, installation, inspection and testing of electrical installations in homes, whether they are being newly built, extended or altered.
Part P stipulates that landlords must notify or submit plans to a building control body before commencing work including repairs, replacements and maintenance work, extra power or lighting points and other alterations to existing circuits in certain parts of a property, including bathrooms, which pose a risk to homeowners.
As members of the NICEIC Approved Contractor, the Domestic Installer and the Electro Technical Assessment Schemes, Mr. Electric is able to self-certify compliance with the Building Regulations whenever we carry out maintenance, repairs or any type of electrical work.
Looking After All Your Property Needs
Working closely with other companies such as Aire Serv, which specialises in air conditioning, heating and refrigeration services for UK homes and businesses, and Drain Doctor, a provider of expert plumbing and drainage solutions, Mr. Electric is able to provide a complete service to all property owners.

This work came about because of a chance discussion with your electrical engineer who was called out to mend a faulty light switch. I was quite satisfied with the extra work carried out, thank you.

All I can say is wow what a service! We lost all power to out sockets on the Friday and had a big night of entertaining that weekend. We called a local electrician and they didn't seem to be interested in taking on work or to even help. I then found mr Electric in Wolverhampton and they come out in the Friday evening. Got the power working in no time. I thought this was going to cost a lot for an evening call out but not as bad as I thought. Fully recommend!!!
Graham Jordan

Mr Electric quoted me for a garage conversion into a cinema room. Not only was he efficient but also very quick. He has done a fantastic job and couldn’t be more helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and he was extremely competitive on price. Regarding the quality of his work I have been very impressed. I highly recommend. Indeed I have recommended him to friends for work already.

I would like to offer my thanks & appreciation for the very speedy way in which my house was completely rewired last week after a circuit breakdown on Friday 5th October. Russell Appleton the team leader was a 'Star' & organised the job efficiently and created as little mess as possible. He liaised with me at all stages and offered sensible alternatives when things proved difficult. He and his main "Mate" Martin worked together very efficiently; leaving us with power available at the end of each day & a safe environment for the night, Our thanks to call concerned for a job well done & I hope I don’t need your services for a long time

We were expecting an audit from our Franchising consultant when a couple of issues arose. The light switch to the main chiller and freezer broke off and an electrical socket was accidently broken off the wall. We couldn't see anything in the freezer and to make matters worse we were expecting our delivery. Our usual service companies have a four hour call out to attend a site which was unacceptable in our situation. I remembered having your business card with me so decided to see if you could help. I called your office and explained my situation and within the hour one of your engineers had attended and carried out the necessary work. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the speed of the response and very pleased with the service you provided. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the speed of the response and very pleased with the service you provided. The business manager was very impressed. I have passed your details to my group of 5 restaurants and have authorised them to use your company for any electrical work required. I have also found out that plumbing is a part of your service and again very useful to know as we don't have a specific company we can call.

We asked our local electrician in Birmingham Mr Electric to install LED Lights throughout our premises It will be six years next month from when we replaced all our lighting in our Bistro and Shop, along with the warehouse complex here for energy saving alternatives. We have saved every month on our electricity bill It was a large undertaking as you know as we have many units but the amount we have saved every month on our electricity bill over the period has now totally covered the cost of purchasing and replacing the GU10 bulbs with LED spotlights and the florescent tubes with T5'S One of the other benefits we have seen is that we do not have to change the bulbs as often as we were. This is not only an additional saving in the number of bulbs we have to buy, but also the cost of having someone go round changing them I can count on one hand the number of LED spotlights we have had to change since we fitted them.. Savings paid for the installation in the first three years but since then savings are all ours and simultaneously we have also done our bit for the environment. Thank you for your assistance in fitting

Just a quick follow up to say how pleased we are with the guys and the work carried out today. The guys, Jared and Scott were courteous and professional, timely and organised. Really good work - I would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone. Please can you pass on our comments and positive feedback to the guys. Overall, every dealing to date that we've had with Mr Electric from the onset when we had the initial electrical survey done before we had even bought the house, to dealing with the quick turn around of the remedial work quotes through to having the work done- and my endless questions -has been brilliant. Of course, not forgetting the admin side of things backstage - Mel- thank you for answering my endless emails and queries in such a professional and reassuring manner and for Zoe's quick and knowledgeable responses via the phone- everything has been great- spot on. Thank you!

Arrived alittle later than expected but got the job done. Wore shoe covers throughout so no mess brought into the house and tidied up after himself. Would definitely call them again.
Tanya Bailey
After being told we had an electrical emergency by the guy fitting our new cooker we contacted Mr Electric and had an appointment the next day. I received an email with an approximate time, and a phone call when they were half an hour away. Russell and Katie were professional and friendly. Everything was explained to us and our emergency was far less of a problem than we had been led to believe. Everything was done in an hour with no hidden extra charges or additional problems found. I believe this company are honest, reliable and trustworthy and would definitely recommend them.
Sam Holland
Living in Birmingham there are loads of electricians advertising a 24/7 service. You try and call them a 10pm on a Saturday night though. Only Mr Electric answered the phone and actually came out. Luke solved the problem and gave me advice on how to fix it in should I lose all my lights again. If you are looking for an electrician in Birmingham I can highly recommend Mr Electric.
Diane Mabee
We were extremely pleased with the service, one of the best we have ever used, we had an electrician call Anthony, who could not be more helpful, we couldn't be more pleased, thankyou Mr. Electric.

They did a great job and offered good advice. Clean and on time.

Review from Mrs V Attwood, August 2017 - 'Just to say that we are happy with the storage heater the was fitted for us, the two people that came were very friendly and quite quick to do the job. Also they cleaned up after them selves plus hoover up which I thought was brill. We have had Mr Electric for a number of years and can rely on them for how ever big or small the job may be. Very polite work force and presentable.'
Lisa Bennett
Called my insurance company as i had a problem with my electrics poping the fuse box and they sent there emergency electricians out Mr Electrician Must admit that they came out quickly and the electrian was very friendly After testing the ring main they said that the ring main was fine with no faults.(they only had 1 hr to find fault on my insurance policy) As the problem still exists i called another company to fix the problem within 15 mins he found that it is not a ring main and that there was a fault with the circuit (this did not give me great confidence in Mr Electrician)sorry guys
Dave Butler
Thank you for your fabulous service. My lights are spot on, Andy and Katie the young apprentice were excellent.
David Munns
Fantastic Customer Service! It only took 24 hours from my initial phone enquiry to have my new intruder light installed. Head office were very helpful and asked for a photo of my existing light which I emailed and they matched it perfectly. The engineer who carried the job out was really efficient and cheerful. Totally recommend Mr Electric, Birmingham North!
Stuart Plant
My factory had lost power and with all the snow about I thought I had no chance of getting someone out. Matt from Mr Electric came and sorted the problem though top marks. Can not thank them enough
Nick Bradley
Saved my christmas! - As someone who works for a plumbing company I understand how stressful this time of year is, so when we needed an electrician out today (christmas eve) I did not have much hope - Mr Electric truely saved the day. Fixed my issue and made sure everything was tidy before they left. Great company!!

Electrical fault found and rectified in ten minutes water thermostat fault found in less than 5 - very impressed
Colin Gooch
I called another company as I had lost power to my sockets. After an hour they found a fault and informed me I really needed a rewire quoting £4500.00 plus vat. I then called Mr Electric and asked for a rewire quote. Luke asked a few questions and said he can not see why I need a rewire. He then carried out a couple of tests and confirmed my wiring was ok. My board tough showed signs of burn caused by a loose contact and was 12 years old so we changed that. Luke could of easily quoted £4k and rewired my house. Thank you for your honesty and saving me over £4,000
Martin Harley
I have used Mr Electric on numerous occasions both at home and work. We have never been let down by them yet top rate service levels from start to finish.
Jan Scambler
Strangely enough they did as promised answered the phone, called on the way to our appointment, wore overshoes and got the quote back on time. Luke and Stuart carried out the installation of our car chargers even sorting the OLEV funding. Would highly recommend
Stuart Hicks
Early morning electrical problem (no shower or lights) 1 phone call,and the office confirmed early afternoon visit. The electrician(Mark) phoned to confirm he was on his way, he found and fixed the problem in no time First class service (even if a little pricey for a pensioner).
David Troth
I rang Mr Electric as an emergency call. My mother was coming out of hospital that very day and we discovered she had no lights working downstairs in her home. The lady I spoke to was very professional and helpful, she arranged for an electrician to come out that afternoon. A nice young lad named Mark rang me to advise he was on his way and would be with us in 15 minutes. He turned up on time and was able to resolve the issue and offer some good advice. I can’t tell you how grateful we were, it was essential to get moms lights on, otherwise she may have had to go back into hospital. Thank you so much. We will definitely use Mr Electric again.
