What Is Checked During an EICR?

Parts of the system that are inspected include:

  • Consumer units
  • Protective bonding
  • Lighting and power
  • Switches and sockets
  • Full electrical installation

The EICR report will show whether the electrical installation is in a 'satisfactory' or 'unsatisfactory' condition. We are able to advise you if action is required and undertake repairs and upgrades ourselves where necessary.  A full EICR will be issued once the inspection has taken place.

⚡️ Electrical FAQ's.

Q: What Is EICR Testing?

A: An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a report carried out to assess the safety of existing electrical installations within a property. It is a universal assessment of the condition of a residential home’s electrics, to keep the tenant or homeowner safe.

Q: When Is an EICR Needed?

A: As of July 2020, regulations require landlords to have a valid EICR. This must be carried out before the tenancy begins, and inspected at least every 5 years following.

For privately owned homes, regulations are less strict, however, it is still advisable to have an EICR test carried out on your home every 5-10 years.

Q: How long does an EICR take to carry out?

A: Completion time will vary depending on the property size, however, an average-sized 3 bedroom home will take around 3/4 hours. For more details on timescales for your particular property, get in touch.

Q: What is the cost of an EICR?

A: Our prices start from £125+VAT. Get in touch to speak to us and arrange a site survey and quotation.

Q: Will the power be off during the EICR?

A: The power will need to be switched on and off during the process, therefore power sources will be intermittent. We aim to minimise disruption as much as possible.

Q: Is my EICR going to pass?

Installations do not receive pass/fail status but are instead graded as satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Every installation differs but generally, newer properties or properties which have not been modified, tend to have a better likelihood of receiving satisfactory status.

Q: What if my property receives an unsatisfactory report?

A: With an unsatisfactory report, you will be issued with a list of required remedial action in order to receive satisfactory status:

🗲 C1 items are classed as immediately dangerous and must be rectified.
🗲 C2 items are classed as potentially dangerous and must be rectified.
🗲 C3 items are recommended for an upgrade for optimum safety.
🗲 FI items are items that require further investigation.

For a satisfactory report, all C1 and C2 items must be rectified. Any remaining FI items must be investigated for a satisfactory report.
