Our EICRs are carried out as a proper inspection and test of the installation - not a quick, tick-box exercise. We take the time to fully assess the condition of the wiring, identify genuine issues, and give clear, practical recommendations. This approach avoids missed faults and prevents unnecessary or inflated remedial
works, giving you an accurate picture of the installation and what, if anything, needs attention.
Electrical safety certificates and subsequent inspections are designed to assess the condition of the hard wiring and accessories and identify any existing faults or defects.
The testing and inspection process will typically involve:
You will receive an EICR certificate detailing the findings.
This certificate will be marked ‘SATISFACTORY’, provided there are no defects graded C1, C2 or FI.
Our testing covers the full integrity of the electrical installation in accordance with the latest 18th Edition Wiring Regulations. This goes significantly beyond a basic visual check, ensuring a reliable and accurate assessment of the installation’s safety and condition.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the official verdict on a property's electrical systems. Also referred to as an "Electrical Safety Certificate", an EICR is a document that spells out any damage, deterioration or outright defects in the fixed wiring, sockets and fuse box that could, in theory, lead to a nasty shock or a really bad fire.
For landlords, this is a legal necessity every 5 years, a bit like a health check for your property, and one that you can't just ignore. Homeowners, on the other hand, are advised to have one done every 10 years or so, just to ensure their place is up to current standards and won't suddenly become a fire hazard.

Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000 for landlords. Homeowners, on the other hand, this is not a legal requirement and are advised to have one done every 10 years or so, just to ensure their place is up to current standards and won't suddenly become a fire hazard.

Defects/observations have 4 ratings:
Anything C1, C2 or FI deems the certificate “Unsatisfactory”.
We typically take around 2-4 hours to conduct an EICR for a standard 3-bedroom home. Smaller flats may take as little as 1-2 hours to complete. For commercial properties, these may vary.
How often you need an EICR typically depends on the type of property. Here are the breakdowns:
If you received C1, C2, or FI codes, then the installation is deemed unsafe. You will have 28 days to have any remedial work completed for a satisfactory certification to be achieved.
