Professional Electrical Installation Condition Reports

What Is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and test of a property’s fixed electrical installation. It assesses the condition and safety of the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, lighting, earthing and other electrical components.

An EICR can identify issues such as damaged wiring, poor connections, inadequate earthing, overloaded circuits and faulty protective devices, helping identify potential electrical safety risks.

What Happens During an EICR?

The inspection includes a visual assessment followed by electrical testing using professional test equipment. Any defects are recorded using the appropriate EICR classification code, such as C1, C2, C3 or FI.

Once completed, you’ll receive a detailed report explaining the condition of the electrical installation and any remedial work recommended.

How Often Should an EICR Be Carried Out?

For many homeowners, an EICR is commonly recommended every 10 years. Private landlords in England must have their properties inspected and tested at intervals of no more than 5 years, or sooner if required by the previous report.

Commercial properties should be inspected at intervals appropriate to the type and use of the electrical installation.

Why Do You Need an EICR?

What Is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and test of your property’s fixed electrical installation. We assess the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, lighting, earthing and bonding to identify damage, deterioration or electrical safety issues.

The report records any defects found and highlights work that may be required to help keep your electrical installation safe and suitable for continued use.

How Often Should an EICR Be Carried Out?

The recommended inspection interval depends on the property and how the electrical installation is used. An EICR is commonly recommended every 10 years for homeowners, while private landlords in England must have their properties inspected at intervals of no more than 5 years, or sooner if required by the previous report.

Commercial properties should be inspected at intervals appropriate to the type and use of the installation.

EICR Requirements for Landlords

For private landlords in England, regular electrical inspection and testing is a legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector regulations. Where remedial work is identified, the landlord may need to arrange appropriate repairs within the required timescales.

Why Have an EICR?

Regular EICR testing can identify electrical defects before they develop into more serious problems. It can help reduce the risk of electrical fires, electric shock and unexpected electrical failures while providing a clear record of the installation’s condition.

I’m really pleased with the work Ashley carried out for us. He fitted 2 Eufy floodlights, 1 Eufy doorbell, and 2 bedside table lights, with the bedside lights neatly extended from the existing plug sockets. Ashley was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and paid great attention to detail. Everything was installed neatly and securely, with the wiring and finishes looking very tidy. He took the time to make sure everything was working properly before he left. The whole job was completed to a very high standard, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled electrician. Thanks again, Ashley — excellent job!

Ashley and Mo fitted 8 down lights and a ceiling fan. A second job was to add extra sockets to a room. Both jobs were well done and I am pleased with the results. I can definitely recommend Ashley as an honest, hard grafter.

Ashley listened to the EV charging issue I had and suggested a low-cost practical solution. Ordered the part, which was promptly and professionally installed. This could have been a massive cost, as some AI tools suggested replacing the EV charger completely, but Ashley suggested something low-cost and low-risk first, and we haven't had any issues since! Great service, great price, would definitely recommend and use again.

Ashley arranged to come and fit a home ev charger last Wednesday. He arrived at the arranged time, we found Ashley to be a very polite young man. He removed the old meter, attached the new meter and wired it up then tested it He also explained the app and how to operate it to charge the car. We would definitely recommend Ashley to our friends and neighbours and would call him if we needed other electrical jobs doing. Well worth the 5 star review 👌
