Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a comprehensive inspection and testing procedure designed to establish the overall condition of the fixed electrical installation within a property. The report confirms whether the installation is satisfactory for continued use and identifies any defects, deterioration or remedial works that may be required.

EICRs for Landlords

In England, electrical safety regulations require inspections and testing at least every five years for rented properties covered by the regulations, or sooner where the report specifies a shorter interval. These requirements cover both private and social rented homes, subject to applicable exemptions and transitional arrangements.

Landlords must provide existing tenants with a copy of the report within 28 days and new tenants before they move in. Where remedial work or further investigation is required, it must be completed within 28 days, or sooner if specified in the report.

Comprehensive Electrical Testing

Our qualified electricians carry out a thorough inspection and test of your property’s electrical installation, assessing its condition against BS 7671 requirements for Electrical Installations (IET Wiring Regulations).

Our electricians hold City & Guilds 2391 inspection and testing qualifications and have extensive experience assessing electrical installations. Their training covers detailed inspection, testing, interpretation of results and fault identification, giving you confidence that your property is being assessed by qualified and experienced professionals.

Following the inspection and testing, we produce an EICR confirming whether the installation is satisfactory or unsatisfactory. If the installation is unsatisfactory, the report identifies the observations and remedial works required.

Where minor issues are identified, we will endeavour to rectify them during the visit at no additional charge, where practical and where the necessary materials are available.

If more extensive remedial work is required, we can provide a quotation and, where possible, complete the work during the same visit.

Your completed EICR will be provided electronically in PDF format.

EICRs for Homeowners and Property Refurbishments

If you have recently purchased a property and are unsure of the condition of the existing electrical installation, an EICR can provide valuable information before you begin refurbishment works.

We can also advise on any electrical works that may be required as part of your planned refurbishment. Addressing electrical services at an early stage can help avoid unnecessary disruption, damage to completed finishes and additional costs later in the project.
