About This Service
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the formal assessment of the safety and condition of your property's fixed wiring. It identifies any deficiencies — from minor code observations to potentially dangerous faults — and grades them so you know exactly what needs urgent attention and what can wait. EICRs are mandatory for private rented properties in England (required every 5 years or at each change of tenancy), and strongly recommended for all homeowners. They are also essential when buying a home, carrying out major work, or satisfying insurance requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an EICR take?
For a typical 3-bedroom house, allow 2–4 hours. Larger properties or those with complex installations take longer. You'll need to be home and we'll need access to all consumer units and accessible wiring.
What do the codes on my EICR mean?
C1 (Danger present — immediate action required), C2 (Potentially dangerous — urgent remedial action required), C3 (Improvement recommended), and FI (Further investigation required without delay).
Is an EICR the same as an electrical certificate?
No. An EICR is a condition report for existing installations. An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) is issued for new installations or significant alterations. Both are issued by a qualified electrician.
