What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a detailed inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property. It identifies anything that is damaged, deteriorated, defective or does not meet current safety standards.
Landlords in England must have an EICR at least every 5 years and give a copy to tenants. Homeowners are advised to have one every 10 years or when buying a property.

Questions about eicrs
Everything landlords and homeowners ask about EICRs.
How long does an EICR take?
Most homes take 2 to 4 hours. The power will be off for short periods while circuits are tested.
What do C1, C2 and C3 mean?
C1 means danger present, C2 means potentially dangerous, and C3 means improvement recommended. C1 or C2 codes, or an FI, make the report unsatisfactory.
What happens if my report is unsatisfactory?
We will give you a fixed quote for the remedial work. Landlords must complete it within 28 days, or sooner if stated.
Do I need to be there?
Someone needs to give access. Landlords can arrange access with tenants and we will liaise with them directly.
