The basics
What is an EICR?
Inspection
We inspect the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches and fittings, and check how the installation is protected.
Testing
We test the circuits to measure the condition of the installation, rather than judging it by appearance.
A written report
You receive a report that records what we found and lists anything that needs attention, with a clear overall result.
For homeowners
EICR for your home
You do not have to be a landlord to benefit from an EICR. It is useful in situations like these:
- Buying or selling and want to know the condition of the wiring
- Living in an older home where the wiring or fuse box may be original
- Before a renovation, extension or rewire
- After noticing tripping, warm sockets or flickering lights
- Simply wanting reassurance that the electrics are safe
For landlords
EICR for rental properties
We carry out EICRs for houses and flats, and can look after several properties in the same visit programme if you have more than one. Tell us in the quote form that it is for a rental and we will take it from there.
What happens after an EICR
Satisfactory
The installation is in acceptable condition. Any minor observations are recorded for your information.
Unsatisfactory
The report lists faults that need putting right. We can quote for the remedial work and retest once it is done.
Consumer unit upgrade
Where the consumer unit is part of the problem, a replacement may be recommended as part of the remedial work.
If a consumer unit replacement is recommended, see our consumer unit and fuse box page.

Joe was great, he was recommended to us by a plumber we’d used previously. Really easy to deal with, quick communication, really reliable and did a great job fitting a few mains fire alarms and some extractor fans! Highly recommend!!
Joe recently completed some superb lighting to our garden. He coordinated with garden designers to install lighting into a new decking and then added wonderful floodlights to illuminate trees and plant areas in the garden. The result is fantastic. Joe was highly professional throughout, advised on what was or was not required, kept the work within our budget and finished everything off. We will definitely continue to use Joe on future projects - we can 100% recommend him for any electrical work, totally first class .

FAQs
EICR questions
What does an EICR cost?
It depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits, so we quote after hearing about it. Call us or use the quote form with your postcode and the number of bedrooms.
How long does an EICR take?
It depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits. We can give you an idea when you get in touch.
Will the power go off?
Parts of the installation will need to be switched off briefly during testing. We agree timings with you so you can plan around them.
What happens if the report is unsatisfactory?
The report lists the faults. We can carry out the remedial work, and if the consumer unit is part of the problem, replace it. Check the current rules for what you must do and by when.
Do landlords need an EICR?
Landlords of privately rented homes in England generally need an EICR at least every five years, and the rules can change, so check the current requirements for your situation.
