Electrical Installation Condition Report
What is an EICR
An EICR test is to check for danger within your property’s electrical system. EICR stands for Electrical Inspection Condition Report, and functions as a detailed inspection of your property’s electrical systems and installation. EICRs should be carried out by certified electricians who are fully insured, qualified and experienced to undertake such an important task.
Carrying out an EICR requires multiple tests to be performed on the electrical systems of your property: Earth measurement reading, bonding test, continuity of circuit protective conductors, continuity of ring, insulation resistance, polarity test, earth fault loop impedance, RCD test and visual circuit observation. Our certified contractors have a vast experience in identifying faults in electrical systems spanning all types of properties.
How long will an EICR take and how much will it cost?
The time required to perform your assessment will depend on the size of your property. On average an EICR takes around 2-4 hours.
Why do I need an EICR?
All properties should be retested periodically. Retest periods vary for different property types, to ensure optimal safety tests should be performed on the following intervals:
Domestic Property: 10 years
Rented Houses: 5 years
Other Property Types: Please enquire
From June 2020 an EICR is a legal requirement as a landlord, and while it is not a legal requirement when selling a property, it can give the potential buyer additional information and clarity on the condition of the property. An EICR is also useful for general peace of mind when considering your electrical system.
Who can perform an EICR?
NICEIC or NAPIT registered or equivalent companies. Hold full public liability and professional indemnity insurance and are qualified to the highest national standards in testing and inspecting electrical installations 2391 or equivalent.
Our EICR process
We take the time to perform all the required tests to ensure your property’s electrical systems are completely safe.
We test: every single cable in your property: all sockets, all lights, all light switches to ensure your safety. We record our observations and recommend what remedial action should be taken if a fault is encountered.
Issues with your electrical system within an EICR report are broken down into 3 categories:
Code C1
This observation means “Danger present. Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required”
This code denotes an issue that presents an immediate threat to the safety of occupants, guests, and customers on the premises
Code C2
This observation means “Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required”
The homeowner is at risk of shock
Code C3
This observation appearing in an EICR report means “Improvement recommended”
A code C3 denotes that there is a non-compliance with the safety code, but it does not present immediate or potential danger.

Jack recently installed some ceiling lights in our kitchen and we couldn’t be happier with his service. He was prompt, very friendly and the work is of an excellent standard, for a very reasonable price. We wouldn’t hesitate to call him again for further work in future- thoroughly recommended!

I asked for a Wednesday appointment to replace a pull cord which wasn’t working. Jack responded very quickly and gave me clear information on appointment time and cost. When he arrived on time, Jack was very polite and quickly solved the issue and fitted the new part. He also tested another light for me. Quick and easy and I could pay by card on the spot. I’m asking for a quote for putting in my kitchen extractor as I was impressed by the service.

Had these guys over for a full rewire. The pricing was competitive and the standard of work high, would 100% recommend!

Jack did a great job in a tight turnaround. We had two new circuits installed for some powerful ovens and required carving the ceiling open and chasing into the walls. It all looked great and importantly safe.
