Electrical Safety Certificates

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an in-depth inspection of your property's electrical systems. It identifies damage, deterioration, defects, and dangerous conditions within an installation.

For Landlords: It is a strict legal requirement in the UK to have an EICR conducted at least every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties and invalidates property insurance.

For Commercial Properties: Employers have a duty of care under the Health and Safety at Work Act to ensure electrical installations are safe. Depending on the environment, an EICR is typically required every 1 to 5 years.

For Homeowners: We highly recommend an EICR when purchasing a new property, or if your current home hasn't been inspected in over 10 years.

Understanding EICR Codes

Code C1: Danger present. Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required.
Code C2: Potentially dangerous. Urgent remedial action required.
Code C3: Improvement recommended. (Does not result in a failed report).
FI: Further investigation required without delay.

Note: Any C1, C2, or FI codes will result in an "Unsatisfactory" report. We provide transparent quotes to rectify these issues.

Our EICR Process:

Visual Inspection

We inspect sockets, switches, light fittings, and the consumer unit for obvious signs of damage or wear.

Dead Testing

Continuity, insulation resistance, and polarity tests conducted with the power turned off.

Live Testing

Earth fault loop impedance and RCD operation tests conducted with the power on.

Detailed Report

You receive formal documentation detailing the condition of the installation and any required remedial work.
