EICR testing and compliance
The report, the remedials and the paperwork.
An EICR tells you whether an installation is safe to keep using and what needs fixing. Landlords need one every five years, businesses need one to satisfy insurers and the Electricity at Work Regulations, and buyers want one before completing. We test, report and quote the remedials in one visit.
What's included
What we do.
Landlord EICRs
Five-yearly reports for rented homes and HMOs, with the certificate your letting agent and local authority will accept.
Commercial EICRs
Periodic inspection for offices, retail, workshops and agricultural buildings, scheduled around trading hours.
Remedials
C1 and C2 observations quoted from the same visit and completed by our own electricians, then the report re-issued as satisfactory.
Pre-purchase checks
A condition report before you buy, so a rewire or new board is priced into the offer.
PAT testing
Portable appliance testing for offices and rental property alongside the fixed-wiring inspection.
Records
Reports emailed as PDF, with reminders before the next inspection is due.
What the codes mean
C1, C2, C3 and FI, in plain English.
C1 means danger present and we make it safe on the day. C2 means potentially dangerous and must be fixed for the report to be satisfactory. C3 is a recommendation only. FI means further investigation is needed. We explain every observation on the report and never pad a remedial quote with C3 items.
Good to know
Common questions.
How long does an EICR take?
A typical three-bedroom house is two to three hours. Larger commercial premises are surveyed first so we can quote the time accurately.
Does the power need to go off?
Briefly, circuit by circuit. For commercial premises we arrange it around your working day.
Is the remedial work included in the EICR price?
No. The report is a fixed price and any remedials are quoted separately so you can decide.
