Electrical Safety Reports for Landlords & Homeowners
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal assessment of the safety of the electrical installations in your property. Carried out to BS7671 (18th Edition) standards, it identifies any deterioration, defects or dangerous conditions in the fixed wiring.
What the EICR covers:
- Consumer unit (fuse board) condition and compliance
- All fixed wiring — circuits, cables, connections
- Sockets, switches and light fittings
- RCD and RCBO protection levels
- Earthing and bonding
- Condition of all electrical accessories

Electrical Services Questions Answered
What is an EICR report and who needs one?+
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a formal inspection of the electrical installations in a property, carried out to BS7671 standards. Since 1 April 2021, all landlords in England are legally required to have a valid EICR for every rental property. The inspection must be carried out every 5 years, or at every change of tenancy. Homeowners are not legally required to have one, but it is highly recommended — particularly for older properties.
What does an EICR inspection cover?+
An EICR covers the consumer unit (fuse board), all fixed wiring throughout the property, sockets, switches and light fittings, RCD protection, earthing and bonding, circuit integrity, and the condition of all electrical accessories. The inspector will identify any Code 1 (immediate danger), Code 2 (potentially dangerous), or Code 3 (improvement recommended) issues.
How long does an EICR take?+
An EICR for a 2-bedroom flat typically takes 2–4 hours. A larger house can take 4–6 hours. The time depends on the size of the property, the number of circuits and the age and condition of the wiring. We will give you an accurate estimate before booking.
What happens if my property fails an EICR?+
If your property has Code 1 or Code 2 faults, the report will be classified as Unsatisfactory. Landlords in England must carry out remedial works within 28 days (or sooner if specified) and provide evidence to tenants and the local authority. We can carry out all required remedial work and issue a satisfactory certificate on completion.
When should I upgrade my consumer unit (fuse board)?+
You should consider upgrading your consumer unit if it uses old rewirable fuses rather than modern circuit breakers, if it does not have RCD (Residual Current Device) protection, if it keeps tripping and cannot handle your electrical demand, if it was flagged during an EICR, or if you are extending or renovating your property. Modern consumer units are safer, more reliable, and are required to include RCD protection.
Can you add additional sockets or circuits?+
Yes — we can install additional sockets, USB sockets, outdoor sockets, dedicated circuits for appliances, and EV charging points. All additions are carried out to Part P of the Building Regulations and notified to the local authority where required. You will receive a Building Regulations completion certificate on completion.
