EICR Certificates & Testing

It’s highly recommended that most properties have an EICR inspection completed at various points, depending on the age and function of the property, the industry or the age of the electrics for example:

Yes, an EICR inspection is required for landlords in England and Wales. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must ensure that their properties are electrically safe and obtain a valid EICR every five years, or at the change of tenancy.

Failing to comply with these regulations can lead to significant penalties, making it essential for landlords to prioritise these inspections as part of their property management responsibilities.

If your property fails the Electrical Installation Condition Report it indicates that there are issues with the electrical systems that could pose a safety risk.

Following a failure, our team of electricians will provide a detailed report outlining the specific areas of concern, including any code violations or potential hazards.

We will also provide you with a full quote and breakdown of the necessary repairs or upgrades needed for you. Once the work is completed, we can arrange a re-inspection to ensure compliance with safety standards.

The duration of an EICR inspection typically ranges from one to four hours, depending on various factors such as the size and complexity of the property, the number of circuits that need to be assessed, and the condition of the existing electrical installations.

For smaller residential properties, the inspection may conclude within an hour, while larger commercial premises could require a more extensive evaluation, taking several hours.

An EICR report typically includes:

• A thorough examination of the electrical systems
• A list of any potential hazards, defects, or non-compliance issues
• The overall condition of the wiring
• Functionality of switches and sockets
• Operation of circuit breakers
• Evaluation of the earthing system

The EICR will categorise any findings based on urgency, from immediate risks that require prompt attention to less critical observations for future reference.

The report will ultimately serve as a crucial document for landlords and property owners, ensuring safety for tenants and compliance with legal obligations.

EICR stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report, a crucial document that assesses the safety and condition of electrical installations within a property.

An EICR inspection, or Electrical Installation Condition Report inspection, is a thorough evaluation of a property’s electrical systems, including fuse boards, switches, sockets and anything connected or wired into the system, to ensure they meet safety standards and are functioning correctly.

Conducted by our team of qualified electricians, this inspection identifies any potential hazards or defects that could pose risks to safety. A report is then created detailing the findings, including any necessary remedial actions and recommendations for improving electrical safety.
