Electrical Safety Law
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) checks that the electrical installation in a property is safe and meets current standards. Here's why it matters for you.
It's the law. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, all private landlords must have the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified electrician.
Mortgage lenders frequently require an EICR before they will approve lending on an older property. Even where it's not a condition of your mortgage, getting an EICR before exchange gives you important information and negotiating leverage.
For owner-occupied homes, an EICR is recommended every 10 years or whenever there is a change of occupancy. Your home insurer may also require up-to-date electrical certification, particularly in older properties.
Transparent Pricing
All options are fixed prices — what you see is what you pay. No call-out fees, no hidden extras.
Option 1
Peace of mind · No testing required
What we inspect
What you receive
This inspection is visual only — it does not produce a formal EICR certificate. Suitable for pre-purchase verification or general peace of mind.
Option 2 — Full EICR
Visual inspection · RCD & cable integrity testing · Full written EICR
What we test
What you receive
A full Electrical Installation Condition Report. Every non-conformity found is recorded and coded C1, C2, C3 or FI. This is the option most customers need, and the one we would recommend for a typical home or rental property.
Option 3 — Full EICR
Deepest level of testing · Accessories opened · BS 7671 full test
Full circuit testing
What you receive
What you are paying for
There are electricians who will complete an EICR in two hours. We spend around four hours on site for Option 2, and a full day for Option 3, plus the time it takes to write the report up properly afterwards.
That difference is testing. It is how faults actually get found, and it is what you are paying for. Both of our EICR options go considerably further than what is commonly offered.

Simple Process
Everything is straightforward. Here's what to expect from start to finish.
Once you get in touch, we'll confirm a date and time that works for you. We'll advise you what to prepare — including informing any tenants in advance about the power-off period and the approximate duration of the visit.
Our NAPIT-registered electrician will arrive at the agreed time and carry out the chosen level of inspection. We work methodically and cleanly — no mess, no damage to your property. Any significant findings are explained to you on the day.
Your written report — a full EICR certificate on Options 2 and 3 — is issued on the same day or the next working day. It's emailed directly to you and is ready to forward to tenants, letting agents or your local authority.
Greg explains exactly what an EICR involves, how to prepare, and how to spot the difference between a genuine report and a dangerous paper exercise.
Common Questions
Yes. Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, all private landlords must have the electrical installation in their rental property inspected and tested at least every 5 years by a qualified electrician. The certificate must be provided to tenants within 28 days and to the local authority on request. Fines for non-compliance can reach £30,000.
Option 2 takes about four hours on site for a typical property. Option 3 takes a full day, because we are opening and testing far more of the installation. Either way there is at least another hour of work afterwards writing the report up properly. Power needs to be off for part of the visit rather than all of it — around 2–3 hours on Options 2 and 3, and about 2 hours for the visual-only Option 1.
Both are full Electrical Installation Condition Reports, and both are legally valid. Both code every non-conformity we find as C1, C2, C3 or FI. The difference is depth. Option 2 covers RCD testing and a global insulation resistance test, confirming that safety devices work and that the cabling is sound overall — about four hours on site. Option 3 goes circuit by circuit and we open 20–30% of the accessories, which is a full day. Option 2 is what most homes and rental properties need. Option 3 is for when you want certainty, typically before a purchase.
No. The inspection and testing is observation and measurement only. If issues are found, we'll provide a clear written report with recommendations. Remedial work is quoted separately and only carried out with your agreement.
