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

Home Buyers
Avoid hidden electrical problems before you commit.
An EICR is one of the most valuable checks you can carry out during the buying process. While surveys touch lightly on electrics, they don’t provide the full picture.
An EICR can reveal:
- Unsafe or outdated wiring
- Defective circuits or consumer units
- DIY or non-compliant work
- Issues that may affect the cost of future upgrades
- Risks that could impact insurance or mortgage approval
Home Sellers
A pre-sale EICR shows transparency and can speed up the selling process.
We help sellers:
- Understand electrical issues before listing
- Avoid delays during surveys
- Provide reassurance to potential buyers
- Complete remedial work quickly if required
This ensures you’re well-prepared and no concerns arise late in the sale.
Important: You cannot legally request a “satisfactory” report if remedials are required — the report must reflect the true condition of the installation. We follow all regulations to ensure accuracy and safety.
Existing Homeowners
Even if you're not moving, keeping your home’s electrics safe is essential.
We support homeowners who want to:
- Stay compliant with recommended 10-year inspections
- Maintain older properties safely
- Investigate concerns like tripping circuits, buzzing boards or faulty sockets
- Get a clear picture of their installation’s health
Perfect for peace of mind and long-term safety.
You’ll receive a full digital report and a transparent remedial quote if needed — with no pressure and no hidden costs.

How long does an EICR take?
For a typical home, testing can take between 1–4 hours depending on size and complexity.
What happens if my EICR fails?
We’ll clearly explain the issues and provide a no-obligation quote for any remedial work required.
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.
