An Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, is a thorough check of the fixed wiring in a property. It shows whether the installation is safe to keep using and flags anything that needs putting right.
Landlords in England must have one at least every five years. They're also well worth having when you buy an older house, or if you've never had your electrics checked.
Who needs an EICR
- Private landlords: at least every five years, and before a new tenancy if there's no valid report
- Home buyers, especially for older properties
- Homeowners who haven't had their electrics checked for ten years or more
- Anyone planning a big renovation who wants to know what they're starting with
- Properties where there are signs of damage, overheating or DIY work
- Small businesses and commercial premises
How it works
- We agree a time and let you know how long the power will be off.
- We inspect the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches and fittings, and test each circuit.
- You receive a written report with any issues coded by how urgent they are.
- If remedial work is needed, we give you a clear price to put it right.

Questions about eicr & electrical inspections
What do the codes on an EICR mean?
C1 means danger present, C2 means potentially dangerous, and either one makes the report unsatisfactory. FI means further investigation is needed. C3 is an improvement recommendation and doesn't fail the report on its own.
How long does an EICR take?
It depends on the size of the property and number of circuits. A typical house takes a few hours.
What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?
Landlords must have the remedial work done within 28 days, or sooner if the report says so. We can do the remedials and give you written confirmation they're complete.
