What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal inspection and testing process that checks the safety, functionality, and compliance of your property’s electrical system.
Our qualified, NICEIC-approved electricians will:
✔ Inspect wiring, sockets, lighting, and fuse boards
✔ Identify damage, defects, or deterioration
✔ Test for overloads, poor earthing, or faulty connections
✔ Provide a written report detailing any issues found
✔ Recommend the best course of action if repairs are needed
Who needs an EICR?
Landlords – Legal requirement every 5 years or at change of tenancy
Homeowners – Recommended every 10 years (or sooner for older properties)
Business Owners – Regular inspections for compliance and insurance purposes
Home Buyers – Check the electrical safety before completing a purchase

Is an EICR the same as a landlord safety certificate?
Yes – the EICR is the document landlords need to meet their legal electrical safety obligations.
How often should you have an EICR done?
The recommended frequency for an Electrical Installation Condition Report depends on the type of property:
Homeowners: Every 10 years or sooner if the installation is older, has had major alterations, or shows signs of wear.
Rental properties (Landlords): Every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy, as required by UK law.
Commercial properties: Every 5 years, though certain environments (e.g., factories, workshops) may require more frequent inspections.
Special locations: Swimming pools, caravans, and similar environments may require testing every 1–3 years.
Regular EICRs help ensure your electrics remain safe, efficient, and compliant with the latest regulations.
