Why is an EICR Certificate Essential?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)—sometimes referred to by tenants as an electricity check certificate—is a comprehensive inspection of a property's fixed electrical wiring. It is a strict legal requirement for landlords and a vital safety diagnostic for homeowners, identifying hidden hazards and ensuring your property remains fully compliant with modern safety regulations.
• Landlord Compliance: An EICR certificate is a mandatory legal requirement for all landlords operating in the private rented sector in England.
• Enhanced Safety: It accurately identifies potential electrical hazards, fire risks, and degrading wires, ensuring the absolute safety of tenants and homeowners.
• Insurance & Mortgages: Many insurance providers and mortgage lenders now require a valid electrical safety certificate before approving policies or releasing funds.
Our EICR Inspection Process
When you book a certified EICR electrician from our team, they conduct a rigorous, multi-point assessment of your electrical systems to ensure they are safe and meet national standards:
• Visual Inspection: Checking for damage or deterioration on all electrical fittings, sockets, and light fixtures.
• Dead Testing: Safely checking circuits for continuity and insulation resistance when fully disconnected from the main power.
• Live Testing: Checking the system under load for correct operation, polarity, and safety device reaction times.
• Consumer Unit Assessment: Checking the condition and safety compliance of the main consumer unit (fuse box).
• Hazard Identification: Pinpointing any defects, thermal damage, or wear and tear.
• Digital Reporting: Issuing a highly detailed EICR certificate with clear observations and compliance recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often do I need an EICR?
For landlords in the private rented sector, an EICR is legally required every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. Homeowners are generally recommended to have one every 10 years or if they are moving into a new home.
What happens if the EICR is 'Unsatisfactory?
If the report is unsatisfactory, it means the electrical installation is not safe for continued use. The report will detail the defects and assign a code (C1, C2, or FI). Remedial work must be carried out within 28 days to bring the installation up to a satisfactory standard.
How long does an EICR inspection take?
The duration depends on the size of the property and the complexity of the electrical installation. Generally, a standard 3-bedroom house takes approximately 3 to 4 hours.
Is an EICR the same as a PAT test?
No. An EICR tests the fixed electrical wiring and installations within the property (like sockets, consumer units, and light fittings), whereas a PAT (Portable Appliance Testing) test is for movable electrical appliances with a plug (like kettles, toasters, and televisions).
