Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR)
Why Electrical Inspections Matter
Over time, electrical installations degrade, become outdated, or are altered unsafely. Without regular checks, you could be at risk of faults, fire hazards, or non-compliance with legal safety standards. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or business owner, our inspections identify hidden issues before they become dangerous or costly.
Our fully qualified electricians carry out detailed assessments in line with the latest BS7671 Wiring Regulations, giving you a clear picture of your current system and what needs attention.
Who Needs an EICR?
Landlords, homeowners, and business owners all have a responsibility to ensure their electrics are safe. An EICR helps meet legal obligations and gives peace of mind that your property is protected.
- Landlords – It’s a legal requirement to have an EICR carried out at least every 5 years, or at the start of a new tenancy.
- Homeowners – If you’ve recently moved in or it’s been more than 10 years since your last inspection, a safety check is strongly recommended.
- Businesses & Commercial Premises – Stay compliant with workplace safety laws and insurance terms with regular inspections.
- Buyers & Sellers – An EICR provides peace of mind before completing a property purchase or sale.
Electrical excellence you can depend on — every project, every time.
