An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a detailed inspection of your electrical system’s condition. For rental properties, this report is valid for 5 years.

Whether it’s an emergency call-out, a late-night repair, or a scheduled installation, we are always on hand to assist. With expert knowledge of the local area, we can respond quickly to homes and businesses, ensuring minimal disruption and high-quality workmanship at any time of day or night.
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a thorough inspection of the electrical systems in a property to assess their safety and compliance with current regulations. During the inspection, a qualified electrician will examine the wiring, outlets, fuse box, and other electrical components to identify any potential hazards, faults, or areas that need attention. The report provides a detailed analysis of the condition of the electrical installation, highlighting any issues that could pose a risk and recommending necessary repairs or upgrades.
For landlords, an EICR is a legal requirement for rental properties in England, where it must be carried out every five years to ensure tenant safety. It is also recommended for homeowners who want to ensure their electrics are safe and up to code. By having an EICR performed, you can prevent electrical accidents, extend the lifespan of your electrical system, and ensure peace of mind knowing your home or business is compliant with safety standards.
First, one of our electricians will conduct a visual inspection, followed by a series of tests on your electrical systems. The purpose of the report is to identify any potential hazards, with the inspection results being categorised using the following codes:
If we identify any Code 1 (C1) issues, we will address them immediately to ensure the safety of your tenants. Any Code 2 (C2) or Code 3 (C3) issues will be documented during the inspection and provided with a separate quote for resolution.
While remedial work for C2 issues is mandatory, addressing C3 recommendations can help prevent costly damage or deterioration in the future. It’s important to note that landlords must complete the necessary remedial work within 28 days of the inspection and provide written confirmation of completion to both their tenants and the local authority.
Following the inspection, you will receive a comprehensive seven-page report along with a quote for any required remedial work. While it may take a few days to process the paperwork, we strive to complete all Electrical Installation Condition Reports as quickly as possible.
