What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection and test of your fixed wiring that checks the safety of sockets, lighting circuits, the consumer unit (fusebox) and earthing/bonding. You receive an electrical safety certificate summarising the condition, any risks and recommended actions so you can prove the installation is safe and compliant with BS 7671.
Who needs an EICR?
Landlords: In England, landlords must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years (or at change of tenancy if the report has expired) and provide tenants with a copy of the EICR certificate. This is a legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations. (book EICR with us for fixed pricing and fast turnaround)
Homeowners & Buyers/Sellers: If you’re selling, an up‑to‑date EICR helps reassure buyers and surveyors that the property is electrically safe, avoiding last‑minute renegotiations. If you’re buying, commissioning an EICR before exchange can uncover hidden faults and give leverage for remedial works or price adjustment. Many insurers also request recent evidence of electrical safety.
Why this matters in rentals: Electrical faults are a significant cause of domestic fires. In England in 2023/24, there were over eleven thousand domestic electrical fires (around 18% of all domestic fires). Independent analyses consistently show electrical distribution and appliances as major contributors to home and workplace fire incidents. Staying on top of your EICR protects tenants and reduces risk in your portfolio.
What happens during an EICR?
We visually inspect and test circuits from the consumer unit through to accessories. Tests include continuity and insulation resistance (dead testing), RCD trip times and earth fault loop impedance (live testing). Findings are documented in your electrical installation condition report with a clear “Satisfactory” or “Unsatisfactory” outcome and recommendations, including transparent EICR cost for any corrective work.
EICR observation codes and what they mean
Observations are coded so you know what to prioritise. We use codes to communicate risk clearly, help you comply with regulations and plan remedial work efficiently:
What happens if your EICR fails?
If your report is “Unsatisfactory” due to any C1, C2 or FI items, we’ll provide a clear remedial list and fixed pricing. Once issues are rectified, we retest affected circuits and issue a “Satisfactory” EICR certificate. Many landlords pair remedials with the inspection for a faster turnaround and fewer visits.
Remedial work we carry out
From upgrading consumer units with modern RCD/RCBO protection to improving main earthing and bonding, replacing damaged accessories, correcting DIY wiring, and fault‑finding nuisance trips — our NAPIT‑certified team handles it all. You’ll get a no‑obligation quote, clear timelines and neat workmanship. When the work’s done, we’ll retest, update your electrical safety certificate and keep you compliant.
