EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports)
Does your business or Buy-to-Let need an EICR? From just £250, our qualified electricians will carry out an Electrical Installation Condition Report for your property.
What does an EICR include?
An EICR is an inspection and test of a property’s fixed electrical installation. The exact checks depend on the installation and any agreed limitations, but typically include:
Fixed wiring, sockets, lighting and the consumer unit
Earthing and bonding
Protective devices and circuits, including checks for defects, deterioration, overloading and potential shock or fire risks
Permanently connected equipment, such as showers or extractors
The report records the inspection schedule, circuit details and test results. Any observations are coded by urgency: C1 (danger present), C2 (potentially dangerous), C3 (improvement recommended) or FI (further investigation required). It also states whether the installation is satisfactory for continued use.
An EICR covers the fixed installation; it doesn’t include plug-in appliances such as televisions or fridges, for this wed recommend our Portable Appliance testing service.
Why arrange an EICR for your business or rental property?
Electrical installations can deteriorate with age and use, and faults in fixed wiring may create a risk of electric shock or fire. An EICR involves inspecting and testing the fixed electrical installation to identify damage, deterioration, defects or anything that could present a safety concern.
Our engineer will create a written report explaining the findings and any recommended remedial work. For landlords, this helps document the inspection and supports your electrical safety responsibilities; for commercial premises, it helps you understand the condition of the installation and plan any work needed.
