Electrical Installation Condition Reports
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection and assessment of the condition of a property's electrical system. It ensures that your wiring, consumer unit (fuse box), sockets, switches, and other components are safe, compliant with current regulations, and fit for continued use. We carry out EICRs for domestic homeowners, landlords, and commercial premises, providing thorough reports, professional advice, and any remedial work if needed.
Domestic EICRs
While not a legal requirement for owner-occupied homes, regular electrical testing is strongly recommended to maintain safety.
Recommended inspection frequency:
Every 10 years for owner-occupied homes
Or upon change of occupancy
Having an up-to-date EICR can give you peace of mind that your home's electrical system is safe, especially if it’s an older property or has undergone recent renovations.
Landlord EICRs – Legal Requirement
Landlords are legally required to have an EICR carried out at least every 5 years for rental properties in England, as set out under The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.
Must be completed by a qualified electrician
A copy of the report must be provided to tenants within 28 days
Any urgent remedial work must be completed within 28 days (or sooner if specified)
Applies to both new and existing tenancies
Failure to comply may result in enforcement action and fines from local authorities.
Commercial EICRs
For commercial properties such as shops, offices, schools, warehouses, and hospitality venues, EICRs are essential for meeting workplace safety obligations under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
Recommended inspection frequency:
Every 5 years (or more frequently for high-risk environments)
After major electrical work or significant changes in use
An up-to-date EICR helps protect staff, customers, and assets—and may be required for insurance compliance.
