Why Is an EICR Important?
An EICR is the only way to confirm your electrical installation is safe. Faulty wiring causes thousands of fires each year in the UK. For landlords, EICRs are a legal requirement every 5 years. For homeowners, they provide peace of mind that your family is safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
For rental properties, landlords are legally required to have an EICR every 5 years or at each change of tenancy. Homeowners are recommended to have one every 10 years, or when purchasing a property. Commercial premises typically require testing every 5 years.
EICR costs depend on the property size and number of circuits. A typical 3‑bedroom house costs around £150‑£200. Flats start from around £120. Larger properties and commercial premises are quoted individually. We always provide a fixed price upfront.
If your EICR identifies C1 (danger present) or C2 (potentially dangerous) observations, remedial work is required. We can carry out all necessary repairs and then re‑test to issue a satisfactory report. C3 observations are recommendations for improvement.
A typical 3‑bedroom house takes 2‑4 hours to inspect. Larger properties or those with more circuits take longer. We'll give you an estimated timeframe when booking. The power may need to be turned off briefly during testing.
Yes. Since July 2020 in England and December 2022 in Wales, landlords must have a valid EICR for all rental properties. The report must be provided to tenants within 28 days and to the local authority on request. Failure to comply can result in fines up to £30,000.
You don't need to be present for the entire inspection, but someone over 18 must be available to let the electrician in and provide access to the consumer unit and all rooms. We'll need access to sockets, switches, and light fittings throughout the property.
