What’s Included in an EICR
certified electricians
An EICR is a complete test of the electrical system in a property. This means we examine the wiring, consumer units (fuse boards), switches, sockets, and lighting circuits. We want to ensure everything is safe and follows current rules. Our trained electricians will do checks and electrical tests to find out if the system is getting worse, has damage, or could be dangerous.
The report will show any problems or differences from the wiring rules (BS 7671). It will give a code to each issue. The codes go from immediate danger (C1) to possible danger (C2), improvements suggested (C3), and needing more checking (FI). After the inspection, you will receive a clear and simple report. You will also get expert advice on any work needed to meet the standards.
Our Answers to Common Questions
Asked Questions
What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?
An EICR is an official document created by a qualified electrician. They check the safety and condition of the electrical systems in a building. It looks for any faults, damage, or issues that do not meet UK wiring rules (BS 7671).
Who needs an EICR and how often should it be done?
Landlords must do an EICR every 5 years or whenever a tenant changes. Homeowners should get one every 10 years, but this drops to 5 years for houses with a swimming pool or those older than 40 years. Commercial buildings usually need an EICR every 5 years or based on how risky they are.
What happens if my property fails an EICR?
If your property does not pass an EICR, the report will point out the problems with special codes (C1, C2, C3, or FI). You will need to get repair work done—especially for any C1 or C2 issues—before the installation can be seen as safe and meeting the rules.
How long does an EICR take to complete?
The time required depends on the size and state of the property. A normal 3-bedroom house usually takes about 2 to 4 hours. Bigger or older homes may need more time, especially if it is hard to reach certain areas or if the system has problems.
