Electrical safety standards

Financial penalties

We can impose a financial penalty of up to £30,000 if you are in breach of your duties (eg not providing a copy of the report or carrying out required works) and multiple penalties can be given.

If you are a landlord or a tenant and have any queries about the new regulations please call 0191 427 7000 or email developmentservices@southtyneside.gov.uk
