Why You Need an EICR
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is needed to ensure the safety of the electrical installations in your property, it serves to identify potential hazards, and ensure your property comply with currency electrical safety regulations. It assesses the condition of wiring, sockets, consumer units, and other fixed electrical components, ensuring they meet current safety standards and regulations.:
- Ensure safety for occupants, tenants, and employees
- Comply with UK regulations (e.g., The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020)
- Identify potential fire or shock hazards
- Protect your investment and insurance
What We Check
Our certified surveyors inspect:
- Wiring:
Checking for damage, wear and tear, proper installation, and signs of overheating. - Sockets and Switches:

FAQs
What defects might be identified during an EICR test?
Examples of defects that an EICR test can detect include out-of-date wiring, faulty consumer units, earthing deficiency, damaged cables or insufficient circuit protection. Such problems may be dangerous, such as electric shocks or fire. The observations are summarized in codes (C1, C2, C3) as this classification is used to show the severity and required courses of action in the report.
What difference is there between a full rewire and an EICR?
Full rewire is the replacement of all the electrical wiring in a property to conform to the current standards of safety. An EICR, on the other hand, is an inspection that evaluates the state of the existing wiring and components. Although an EICR can suggest a replacement of a rewire, it does not do it.
Which parts of the property are inspected in an EICR?
An EICR checks all permanent electrical systems and installations, such as wiring and consumer units (fuse boxes), socket outlets, light fittings, and permanently connected appliances, such as showers and extractor fans. The inspection will guarantee that these components are safe and according to the existing regulations.
How often do landlords need an EICR certificate under current UK regulations?
The UK laws require landlords to have an EICR certificate, which should be acquired every five years. Also, a new EICR must be created when there is a change of tenancy. This will guarantee the continued electrical safety of tenants and their legal obligations.
Who is qualified to issue an EICR?
An EICR has to be done by a skilled and qualified individual. There are no particular legal qualifications, but the current industry standards suggest that the electricians should be those with appropriate training and experience, including those registered under Competent Persons Schemes, or people with qualifications such as.
