What is an EICR?

Electrical Installation Condition Reports Explained

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a thorough assessment of the safety and condition of your property's fixed electrical installations. Our fully qualified electricians inspect every circuit, connection, and component to identify defects, deterioration, and non-compliance with current BS 7671 standards.

Since July 2020, all private landlords in England are legally required to have an EICR carried out every 5 years. Homeowners are not legally obligated but are strongly advised to have periodic inspections to protect their families and property.

Who Needs an EICR?

  • Landlords: Legally required every 5 years for rented properties
  • Homeowners: Recommended every 10 years or when buying/selling
  • Commercial: Required for insurance and health & safety compliance
  • HMOs: Annual inspection required for Houses in Multiple Occupation

FAQ

EICR Testing Questions

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a comprehensive safety inspection of your property's electrical systems. Landlords are legally required to have one every 5 years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020. Homeowners should also get one periodically to ensure their electrics are safe.
Landlords must obtain a new EICR every 5 years, or sooner if the previous report recommends it. You must also provide a copy to your tenants within 28 days of the inspection, and to new tenants before they move in.
Our EICR inspection covers all fixed electrical installations: consumer units, wiring, earthing and bonding, switches, sockets, light fittings, RCD protection, and more. We check for wear and tear, damage, compliance with BS 7671, and any fire or shock risks.
A typical domestic EICR takes 2 to 4 hours depending on property size and the number of circuits. Larger properties or those with complex installations may take longer. We work efficiently to minimize disruption.
If we find any C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) defects, we will provide a detailed report and a competitive quote for the required remedial work. We can often carry out urgent fixes without delay to make your property safe immediately.
EICR pricing starts from £150 for a typical 1-2 bedroom property in Watford. Prices vary based on property size, number of circuits, and accessibility. We offer transparent upfront quotes with no hidden fees.
