An Electrical Installation Condition Report, or EICR, is a detailed inspection of the electrical installation within a property. It checks the condition of the wiring, sockets, consumer unit and other fixed electrical systems to identify any faults or safety concerns.

Homeowners are generally advised to arrange an EICR at least every 10 years. Privately rented properties in England usually require an EICR at least every five years, or sooner if recommended in the previous report.

Yes. Most private landlords must arrange an electrical inspection at least every five years and provide tenants with a copy of the report. Any required remedial work must also be completed within the stated timeframe.

We inspect and test the fixed electrical installation, including the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches, earthing and protective devices. The results are recorded in a report, along with details of any faults or recommended improvements.

EICR observations are commonly classified as C1, C2, C3 or FI. C1 indicates an immediate danger, C2 identifies a potentially dangerous issue, C3 recommends an improvement, and FI means further investigation is required.

The time required depends on the size, age and condition of the property. A typical domestic EICR may take several hours, while larger commercial properties can take longer.
