Electrical work in Newbury: worth knowing
At the 2021 Census, 17.1% of households in West Berkshire rented privately, up from 13.7% in 2011, and 67.6% owned their home. Landlords in England must have the electrics in rented homes inspected and tested at least every 5 years, and the rules are enforced by the local council, here West Berkshire.
Tenants shouldn't arrange electrical repairs themselves: the landlord is responsible for electrical wiring.
