An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal check of the safety of the fixed wiring in a property. It identifies wear, damage, dangerous work and anything that doesn't meet current standards — so you know your installation is safe and compliant.
Who needs an EICR?
Landlords in England are legally required to have a valid EICR for rented properties and to provide a copy to tenants. Homeowners are strongly advised to have one periodically, especially when buying or selling. Businesses need them to meet health-and-safety duties and to satisfy insurers.
Whoever you are, an EICR gives you documented proof that your electrics have been professionally assessed — and a clear list of anything that needs attention.
What the report covers
Our engineer inspects and tests your consumer unit, circuits, sockets, switches, earthing and bonding, checking for deterioration, overloading, poor DIY work and shock or fire risks. Each observation is assigned a standard classification code so you know exactly what's urgent and what isn't.
Understanding the codes
- C1 — Danger present, immediate risk (must be made safe at once)
- C2 — Potentially dangerous, remedial work required urgently
- C3 — Improvement recommended, not an immediate risk
- FI — Further investigation required
- A 'satisfactory' report means no C1, C2 or FI items
How it works
Book your test
Tell us the property type and size and we'll quote a fixed price and arrange a convenient time.
On-site inspection
Our engineer safely tests the fixed wiring — typically a few hours depending on the number of circuits.
Clear report
You receive a full EICR detailing any coded observations in plain English.
Remedials if needed
If anything needs fixing we can quote and carry out the work, then issue your satisfactory certificate.
